How to edit AMAZING LANDSCAPE PHOTOS with Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop

[@PeterMcKinnon]

You're only allowed to take ONE MORE PHOTO... ever!!! Where do you take it? Why? Go!

[@rayeshaolivia1139]

Peter McKinnon Italy 😍❤️ because it's so surrounded by water and sun and land which is PERFECT

[@DzikaPika]

Japan, Fuji mountain, with Japanese Cherry Blossom in the foreground. It's the one and only most beautiful place to take the last photo. As for ending.

[@MysticPrysm]

Top of a mountain. To encapsulate the beauty of what the world is holding.

[@0110void]

Somewhere in Iceland - not only is it a home to which I wish to return someday, but the landscapes are just stunning.

[@mattlitwinchuk9437]

Peter McKinnon Mt. Assiniboine because it's so damn beautiful

[@harispapadopoulos4295]

0:00 I thought that I hadn't connected the headphones correct.

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

Thumbs up for your generosity by sharing almost everything that you've learned and for you talent and skills!

[@ranchoddaschanchad6230]

Creative North I agree

[@veenusflytrap355]

like those shortcut keys on mac

[@trevor4020]

Well what's the use of a tutorial if you will not share everything that you know?

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

Trevor Leary Good point! that's why I'm giving a thumbs up! lol

[@flipside4424]

Trevor Leary let me kick your ass!

[@CzarKingBilly]

Hey Pete! I love your channel. You've inspired me to really start getting into photography. One thing I haven't seen from you yet is a video about how to practice photography under not-so-great conditions. Like when you can't leave the house, or the weather just sucks, or if your job makes it hard to go to a bunch of cool places all the time. I'd love to see a video that goes over that. You're killing it man, keep up the awesome work! Looking forward to the next one!!

[@DaniyalM]

Honestly, i dont know why people take years of courses trying to learn about photoshop and lightroom when you do it perfectly in 15 mins with details.Thanks alot, i just got into this photoshop game and you are an amazing teacher. Love from Etobicoke

[@dimaGOLF9]

Can you make a video explaining the Tone Curve?

[@NeoMekhar]

This!

[@gehmirausdersonne4791]

It's not very hard to understand. You just have to understand it and that'll take a while but just play around that helps the most.

[@adamjohnson5307]

But you and Dmitry Litvinov are two different people with different experience levels...so there's that.

[@JacobColvin]

My channel has a video. Watch session 2 and subscribe 😃

[@shaunclarke04]

AppleDLM the best way to learn that, is just mess with it. Learn the s curve. I always use it

[@Brewster38c]

I use Lightroom for all my editing because Photoshop was just too complicated for me to learn. Now, after I watched you add birds to a picture, I gave it a try. Two colorful birds sitting on a microphone stand in front of a beautiful singer at an outdoor concert... a black kitten sitting on a cutout of a cat's head in front of a singer... and a dragon flying over the audience at an outdoor music festival. I was amazed at how real it all looks and how simple it was. Thank you!!!!

[@mattih]

It was freaking cold that day! But the Porsche's made it warmer 😂

[@jaspermuir6483]

I used to watch this guy ages ago and this video just popped up. When I first started watching him I was so bad at Lightroom and I didn't understand a thing he was saying. His videos are so relatable now, it's awesome.

[@aboynamedAmber23]

OMG i was just searching for a video like this and you just uploaded!! thanks!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Timing is everything!

[@MrBaluwatar]

[@freddyberg6255]

You're kinda my hero rn. I have been pouring over your tutorials for the last couple of weeks, and I cannot even begin to mention how much you've helped me really enjoy this artform (Still and video). Thank you.

[@_jackmodz]

hey Pete, I feel you have a lot of followers with about 500-1000 followers looking to up their game. how would you feel about taking a look at one profile a week, and almost critiquing some of their best photos, and how they can improve? it also works as a spotlight for people persuing their goals and trying to become better.

[@ludwigspaude1601]

jackmodz Great idea! :D Instagram: ludwig1807

[@oslal]

Good Idea

[@nix98]

Great idea, anyone can check out my stuff at my Instagram: nik_gnzls_ My VSCO (preferred): nbg12

[@johntorenia7096]

You are so far one of THE BEST people out there when it comes to this kinds of stuff. great tutorial love it. Your tutorial really helps me a lot.

[@JPMongeS]

When it comes to Peter's videos: first you like, then you watch.

[@stevenxzuber]

The way to go!

[@bennie7781]

You said that right!

[@zpupul]

[@freddyberg6255]

Finally! I have waited for you to post one of these videos for so long! THANKS AND KEEP IT UP! :D

[@wowbhaskar1426]

Just love the Landscape Photography tips Pete, but in fact, the most exciting part starts at 6:22 Let's GO

[@adamjohnson5307]

Omg, thank you. 6 minute intro is a bit much. Lol

[@shermaljones5561]

when i started photography i thought Photoshop and color editing like this wasn't right but now i see it is quite necessary. this helped a lot.

[@Cantinatollo1]

Young man, you rock!!! This old dog is learning new tricks from a young dog. Love your videos!!!

[@Vishguruu]

Peter, following up to your printing video, I think it would be incredibly helpful if you did a video covering editing photos for printing. Great video as always!

[@LukeWalters]

YOU KILL EVERY VIDEO!!! I want to just say thanks you've personally made my content so much better. Thanks so much Pete keep doing what you're doing we appreciate it

[@DaniColiman]

7:22 he starts using Lr, you're welcome

[@theminimalisticlogodesigne4237]

Thanks

[@zahin2756]

Tnx

[@RobRobBob]

Thank you!

[@rockingevill]

Dude, I watch all of your videos, it's been a break of a month and today I landed on this video, trust me your opening brought a big smile on my face, keep up the good work, lots of love from India.

[@spacewolf6]

that's so cool that you just posted, I'm currently opening my Sony a6500. first camera!!!

[@RYSEproductions]

Gear Goals and Gains sony a6500 is your first camera?! Lucky bastard!

[@spacewolf6]

been saving for a good camera for about a year. Had to make some serious sacrifices to pull it off.

[@at830]

Just got a Canon G3X as my first, happy with it so far. Got a EFV with it for 700usd :)

Hey Peter, I'm from Canada, Chambly. Really enjoying all your tutorials and knowledge sharing. Nice work! Thumbs UP!!

[@JahimTheCreator]

This is so crazy .. I just tweeted you about this this morning....you have read my mind brovah watching now.

[@flashyrc]

Everytime I watch your videos, I grab my kit and start shooting...you are inspirational!

[@Murmeltierche]

VIDEOIDEA: How do you handle and organize the mass of your data , images, clips, whatever? Folders - Where, How? Bibliotheque - What program? Extern hard disks - which one and why? Questions over questions! Please help!

[@Amplefii]

Murmeltierche he said in the video he uses light room it's a great photo organization tool

[@matiasfaundez649]

I started using Adobe Bridge while was figuring out how to use Lr...Bridge is BAsic but intuitive and has direct acces to Camera Raw and Ps. Lr has a little more of a learning curve in my opinion

[@ChristianSchaffer]

This is the first tutorial I've actually ever enjoyed watching. Props

[@james80196]

Hey Peter, I been having trouble staying organized with my photos, could you make a video showing how you stay organized with external hard drives and everything. I feel like you made a video like that but i cant find it lol.

[@joaopedropires1456]

Hey, I'm Brazilian and I watch your videos, they're amazing! I can not understand everything but I strive to make the most of it. Thanks for the videos, whenever possible put legend, your content should be watched by many who do not speak English very well. Sorry for the English.

[@SufianAlAtrash]

MAN, do you know what makes you amazing !! that you make things look so simple and easy !!! keep it up Peter...

[@dopemotions]

super cool

[@berliemiguel7247]

I've been looking for a video like that since 5 months ! The way you explain things, is what makes you so good ! You could definitely become a teacher bout photography #GOAT

[@rmg8729]

Today is my birthday Pete!

[@AwkwardExpression]

Thanks for this video! Today was my first day playing with Lightroom and after watching this, I started feeling a little more comfortable learning more about the program.

[@CzechFlash]

Peter, Bro! You are awesome! :D

[@honeydew8543]

This guy is amazing! I'm just starting out with photography and he really helps! With an easy approachable personality, and knowledgable information, I'm beginning to feel more confident and eager to start my photography journey! Thank you Peter!

[@TomDeCicco]

I'm still not convinced the cloud suite is 100% "worth it" for photo editing for me personally... I'd like to see you try to do the same techniques w/ something like Affinity... thoughts?

[@PXLGraphics]

Tried and used both for a rather long time. The Affinity programs are great for hobbyists. Affinity Photo especially is really good for editing raw photos and you definitely (let me repeat, definitely!) can get the same results with an even better workflow, at least in my opinion. From my experience Affinity Photo runs a lot faster and smoother than PS or LR but it has not the same feature set on the other hand. Anyways, I prefer using Lightroom. Why? Several reasons: 1. I like the lightroom catalog system and it's just so much more convenient to edit 200 photos of a shoot in lightroom than it is in photoshop or affinity photo. PS and AP work pretty much the same concerning raw file editing, so if you prefer using for PS for editing you're good to go with AP. 2. I'm a motion designer so I own the creative cloud anyways and because I prefer LR's approach to editing I use it, that's it. 3. Most of the presets are for Lightroom or Photoshop. If you don't want to use presets that does not matter of course and I don't use presets apart from my own as well but you might take that into concern. 4. I don't think 11€/month for PS and LR is not that bad of a deal. Of course it's expensive and if you do not make any money with these programs or photography you should really think about it and decide whether that's worth it or not. For personally the whole CC is definitely worth it since I use it on a daily basis and make money off it. I would just download both trials and try out what you like and what you don't like about each program. I can't say enough good things about the Affinity programs and the team behind it (their support is amazing, really! never seen anything like that before) and if you think about getting AP instead of PS definitely go for AP if you are a hobbyist but LR vs AP is kind of a harder decision. Just download the trial and mess around with it. If you have any question be sure to hit me up either on youtube, @ynnkw on twitter or @shotinraww on instagram (i'm sounding like a salesman but i just genuinely want to help lol) sorry for any grammar mistakes and stuff like that, i'm not a native speaker haha

[@PXLGraphics]

by the way "darktable" might be worth checking out, as far as I know it's free. I never tried it though

[@TomDeCicco]

Dude, killer response.. thank you! I'll deff give the trials a shot....I think your opinions about both platforms are fairly universal... Either way, thank you. i'll hit you up on the gram w/ and questions (@TomOverChaplin) Thanks again.

[@PXLGraphics]

Awesome, glad I could help! :)

[@TomDeCicco]

Haha, i'll check it out.. but I've never had luck w/ any free programs.

[@thomasv5705]

finally! someone that explains photoshop in an easy way! great content man! keep it going, I'm a fan

[@michaelbennettphoto]

Just a tip: try using negative clarity to give it a soft, dreamy look👍

[@ahmedfarhat6673]

This is awesome. I haven't even watched the video yet but I know it'll be great. What's crazy is that I literally looked for a video like this last night on your channel. Keep it up man!!

[@John330vids]

literally one of my top 3 fav channels on youtube! Love your content bro!

[@davidwicker2891]

Hi Peter, I'm a really big fan of yours and, since I don't have any money to pay Lightroom or Photoshop, I was wandering if you could make a video showing your favourite free photo editing softwares . I really love photography but I don't have any sort of budget (I am using my dad' s TEN years old camera to shoot) and I would love to get at your level but I am noticing that no matter what every photographer I look up to uses a bit of Photoshop to make things better. I would really appreciate it! Thank you. LIKE IF YOU LIKE THE IDEA!

[@qmanimation3303]

Become a student of any College or Univercity, u can have all Adobe's software with $20/month

[@nickdailey9889]

Check out Snapseed for mobile. It's great

[@kanebaudart2086]

Torrent it

[@DeBeukelaerify]

Download the AdobeZii App, then download test version from Adobe and patch it. Done.

[@zionnaidu3456]

Mr McKinnon you are a huge help for photographers, amateur and professional alike. Many thanks.

[@mircodhd4326]

I think it is art but you should tell that you edited that photo because it shows that you helped it a bit and wouldn't able to catch the photo like that. For me a good photo is only using Lightroom and the shot. But it is your thing, the most important thing is to have fun.

[@andrearock71]

I always, always learn something with your videos! THANK YOU! :)

[@AlexPereira-xh4rn]

quality over quantity

[@phardiman84]

I've been binging on your videos geared towards tips for beginners/hobbyists. And despite that you're a pro, you're content is so appealing, and educational for someone like myself. I've learned a lot from just a few of videos. Your edits to the Alps photo in Lightroom are so simple, but make a huge impact and give an awesome final result. Thanks. Oh! And hello, from NS.

[@bernhard4764]

6:24 No! No! The Dolomites are just a part of the Italian Alps.

[@leifbergman]

New to Lightroom and JUST NOW noticed the Profile Correction option thanks to your video. I hit it on a building shot in New Orleans from last month and then I went HOLY CRAP! MIND BLOWN HERE! More people need to know about this! Keep up the videos! Awesome info and always a great to see someone else having fun in Ontario, even if it is the GTA. The northwest is where it's at!

[@marekzjavka3536]

Man, I just watched 3 of your videos and I had to instantly tap that subscribe button! Great content and the way how you expose it! Damn it, you nailed it!:)

[@stevenzuber3811]

Steve Captures true!

[@alainameynard1269]

I am super late to the game in discovering your channel, but your sense of humor makes your videos so much fun :)

[@Noksus]

The thumbnail is a complete scam and the tutorial doesn't even start until half way through the video.

[@empiregroup1]

Dude i totally enjoy the way you present your content, you have a kick ass energy, i am an aspiring photographer and will one day be able to make a living from my passion. I take inspiration from you. Keep up the amazing job man!!!

[@krectus]

faking birds or anything in your photos is not cool. Don't be fake.

[@djphysix]

I thought the tutorial was pretty solid until seeing this part. Made me stop the video right away. Never felt like an honest practice that is in the true practice of photography. If the images are clearly labeled as a composition, then I feel it's more acceptable, but I doubt many go to any lengths to identify them as such.

[@splufford]

I also think there might be copyright issues if he ever wanted to sell the image to an image library or something

[@faleoshem]

Dang I've learnt so much watching your videos. Mostly new perspective when approaching a shoot. Can't wait for your video with Jesse!

[@CatarinaFitensityWorkouts]

I swear I play your vids on the background while working because you inspire me to be better at this photography and social media thing, thanks!

[@neighborhoodandrew]

Easily my favorite youtuber. Thanks Peter.

[@beyond990]

Best advice i ever heard was to expose in camera for the highlights as you can recover shadow detail but not blown out highlights. Nice take on it all keep up the fantastic work.

[@raviilakra]

Peter McKinnon is simply genius. What a fun guy. Love you man & your work.

[@JimAlleninidaho]

BAM! Again.. another awesome video that I can take and use on my photography. .. You gave me soooo many ideas... BTW.. i smashed the like button!

[@benjaminhosaflook]

WOAH!!! These are gorgeous! Another amazing video, once again!!! Thanks Peter! If i could only ever take one more photo, i'd want to go capture the beauty in new Zealand. I've always loved nature and New Zealand is gorgeous!

[@mattywenner6221]

Great video! Keep all your content coming, it's super informative!

Awesome video as usual! I just arrived from a trip yesterday and i have literally hundreds of landscape photos to edit. Perfect timing with the upload. Like button SMASHED!

[@angelinaminor6194]

Really enjoyed this "how to" video. I've been playing around with the editing on some photos for a little while now but still figuring out the tone & curve tools. This helped & I'm anxious to get to my laptop and try out some of your tips! Love that you're a fellow Canadian! Whoot-whoot!

[@Kevinlbridge]

Man the exact video I was hoping for. Great job man!

[@rappeezy]

I found your page originally over a photoshop tutorial and subbed immediately. Your other content is dope too but these are good to see in my notifications.

That was a really useful lesson in how to use Lightroom. Thanks Peter.

If you held a workshop, I would 100% travel to attend it! Great work, keep it up!

[@FlippyChick101]

[@antoncrowley7342]

Thank you for this video! You’re so good at explaining/teaching, I know this is 2 years old but I can’t wait to see more of these types of videos from you.

[@processdrivenrealestate]

Thanks for being highly entertaining! Good stuff, my man!!!

[@edvard_r]

Just the video I needed right now! You made me feel inspired. Keep it up Peter!

[@glamdj]

Man... I love you videos. You are a great communicator. And you know what are you talking. You are objective, easyly to listen, smart, and speak about the things in some way that everything looks like more simple after listen you. I learn a lot with you. I started just like a simple graphic designer and printer, but my carrier took me to de multimedia design area. I have to take photos, I have to make video, etc. And you have been a great teacher. Thank you. (I don't talk English very well, I hope you understand my message. I'm Português working in Angola by 5 years) peace out.

[@southplacerookie]

This is awesome, I haven't used Lightroom in months and actually just finished re downloading it.

[@louisvlogs1131]

Omg I really needed this. I just got photoshop and Lightroom and needed a tutorial on how to use it.

[@Giancool123]

Dude, these "how to edit" videos are the best! I learn so much with them. Keep up the awesome work! THANK YOU!

[@Bl4z3NP4]

this just motivated me to start editing some pictures!! Awesome video man!! keep em coming!

[@ACstudio2015]

Love the way you see the world through your lens! photos are amazing and you really do help me out a lot with you videos! so thanks man!

[@theTechNotice]

Hey Peter, which polarizers and ND filters would you recommend? Which ones are theh best for money? I'm not looking for the super high end ones, but the ones that are probably middle class, fairly affordable ones. Any suggestions? :) Thanks!

[@MysticPrysm]

I've never been this early! Haha. Great video pete. The dedication and persistence is infectious!

[@mattroberts4732]

I completely agree with your photoshop views. I have no problem with people adding stuff in their photos to make their art better. It'd be a different story if you were filming for a documentary or something but just for art to sell or post, I don't see that being a problem.

[@nikospanou2286]

I highly appreciate your time and effort sharing your knowledge online! Moreover since you are a quite communicative host your videos stand out and are always fun to watch, even the simple ones! I would be so happy to see a Mavic video from you, concerning camera and controller settings...

[@lieserose7069]

You've inspired me to go back to my old photos and see what I can do with it.

[@owenhaupt]

Great vid, Pete. Your tutorials have been really inspiring for me, keep it up!

[@carterbuck5837]

Thank you so much for this! I found your channel and got really interested in photography. But, I didn't know the difference between Lightroom and Photoshop. Thanks peter!

[@oliver1297]

Hey Peter... you briefly mention how you organize and work with folders. If you ever run out of ideas for tutorials, how about one about how you work with Lightroom to organize photos? I'd be really interested whether you use dates or events, do you use collections? Do you import as DNG? Thanks for the great knowledge you always share. It's pretty awesome!

[@randomniche1345]

this dude gets me super excited it's insane whenever i see his videos i just feel like i wanna jump out of my bed rn and go shoot stuff!

[@reganross3608]

Is it weird that I feel nostalgic watching this video today? A year ago it was a SOLID INSPIRATION but it's still gold.
