How To Edit in Adobe Lightroom (My step-by-step, end-to-end workflow)

[@patkay]

What kind of editing tutorial would you like to see next?

[@user-gx9my6vn4j]

I would be really interested in how you find locations and how you prefer to frame your shots😊Also, exporting and best techniques for quality prints😁 Amazing tutorial, I really enjoyed going through your personal edit style!

[@akhilkulkarni3924]

Nature stuff please!

[@trevinblount7746]

Calibration, definitely.

[@ivanazton6494]

Color Calibration, could be a great tutorial!

[@kitty-340]

can u do a portrait editing tutorial please?

[@marvidviducich5878]

coco cola has spent billions on promoting their red and white logo only to have you turn it orange

[@juanvc1086]

[@abdullakhaled6261]

Thanks bro

[@alljenanoche5559]

We need more of this! I have watched this for like Idk? About twenty-seven times now? We need more end-to-end workflow! From landscape to portrait to street! Awesome frickin' style btw. I like how you utilize camera-color calibration in lightroom.

[@reisonoda9185]

I really love the mood of your photograph, and this video was so far the best tutorial on KZbin👍 Looking forward seeing your next post:)

[@patkay]

thanks for watching!

[@looppp]

Pat, you're one of my favorite photography and editing KZbinrs right now. Your stuff is so clean, clear, and just aligns with my photography philosophy. Love your educational series too. Keep up the good work and don't stop creating.

[@createtechreviews4282]

Fantastic walk-through! Split-toning is something I've been missing. Thanks for all the great info on your channel.

[@VTGGT]

Split toning is now the color grading for those who pay for lightroom license

[@cheesecake4648]

the original picture was great, what's more: it was as you saw it and the rest of the world. If you change that, what you tell the world is that you are fake. these tools should be used to restore something when something fails, not to tell something that was not there.

[@myth1210]

Raw photo was so good. I don't why people need to edit every picture they click

[@vorlich1]

Lots of good tips…right up until the crop for IG, at which point you’d have been as well just deleting the file. What a waste.

[@Sapphire61]

Pat, this was a fabulous video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I struggle in editing my own images, but by having videos like this one and others, it shows me the thinking and process of editing. As a visual learner, this really helps!

[@SynysterKill]

Really enjoyed this thorough process! I like to take a lot of portraits but I find when I edit them in lightroom it has a big effect on skin tones. Could you perhaps make a tutorial like this but with portraits and explain how you can combat it in lightroom?

[@seempaq]

More more more! I would love to watch you edit different compositions, day time & different focal lengths!

[@SerPostman]

Fantastic video and really helpful. Even more helpful than the stuff you used to put on patreon. Seeing the changes in real time helped me understand some things, e.g. ESL, way better than before. Thanks for making this video Pat, I hope there'll be more like this!

[@patkay]

there will be! and thanks for being around when i used to have Patreon!

[@andresm645]

That was very cool, I think you did a good job explaining your thought process, and having it broken down in sections is useful. Videos on composition (I really like your use of negative space), color calibration and tone curves would be awesome. Would also love a video about lenses and how to play with focal lengths to achieve different feels (background compression for example).

[@patkay]

Thanks for those suggestions! I've got one planned about negative space coming up so look out for that soon =)

[@andresm645]

@@patkay great news :D also just curiosity, have you considered streaming in any way? I would really like to watch one of those editing sessions live, and would give you the opportunity to interact with your viewers too

[@f.stopperrmedia1606]

Amazing work! This has taught me to slow down with my editing, and be more mindful of my desired subject. I speed through it and make all decisions on the fly. No more!

[@柴田竜馬-d7u]

Hi! I’m a Japanese guy. And I’m fan of you as well. Thanks for sharing your skills. It meant me a lot and gave me inspiration. Keep it up and hope to see another edit video😁

[@patkay]

見てありがとうございます😊

[@rvllvncnt]

great quality conteeeent, as always 💯🔥

[@patkay]

Thanks man!

[@harryjaggardtravel]

Such a good video

[@tonesvisuals8690]

Great video, but I’d love to see you do one on editing your landscape pics.

[@MYoutube8]

Phewteuh. A what? a PHEWTEUHHHHWWW What's that Pat? Are you deaf?! Its a PHEWTEUHHHHHHHHHHWWWW A.. photo? Gotya. * funny ozzie accent, lol *

[@alexisrodriguez2242]

Would you show us how to use curves and local adjustments on a deeper way? Thanks for these kind of videos, it's really good quality content!

[@patkay]

possibly in a future video!

[@demasrusli]

Ayeee one take wonder vid! Hahaha

[@patkay]

hahahaha fuark if only i could get so lucky every time

[@TKNORTH]

Keep on killing it homie!!!

[@patkay]

haha i'll try bro!

[@verbal_kint]

Nice video and edit. I feel the portrait crop didn’t do the image enough justice, should’ve been landscape IMO.

[@SaraWC72]

Any chance you could do a video on exporting from Lightroom for instagram, Facebook & for printing? In details? 🙏

[@jacksonianc]

12:14 This idea of pushing groups of color makes so much sense to me-I've never heard it put that way and it "clicked" all of a sudden. The color calibration video you did was awesome, btw.

[@joshmoxey.]

Agreed

[@Penka-ju4li]

I am not using LR for now, only CR and PS but this is great video. You explain very well and I think I can use the principles in CR. Thank you.

[@clairepianist]

Your eye for small details is mindblowing!! Do you ever fall into a dilemma whether to keep the image as accurate as possible compared to reality, or alter it to your own liking?

[@vichortega]

Brooowwww You just change my whole game brow, thank u so much... 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 ps. those littles shortcuts help a lot

[@mantradox]

Excuse my question please, but I couldn't hear clearly which key did you tap for exposing "before and after"? I only know about "y" key, but I liked your option better.

[@aznycts]

That's why i love B/W for 46 years . Why buy $6000. Camera to spend 30 minutes in Ps or Lightroom 🙊 B/W Photos cost More Money in Galleries Than Color . Good Video 👍

[@simonspector9026]

Dear Pat Kay,my name is Simon. Like your work and knowledge you sharing.Im just the beginner (67 years old) Can you give me a tip,what kind of computer and monitor do I need ,without upgrading every year or so,please. Thankfully Simon Spector

[@Itchban]

ayee keeping up with the uploads bro good work

[@patkay]

this consistency is fun haha

[@daniel_12395]

Really great tutorial! Little different than I am editing usually, which was fantastic. Love the way you reduced the color cast and enhanced the colors. Will try some of your techniques. Thanks!

[@iskadobadsf]

What is the shortcut for 'before and after' in the latest version of Lightroom on a MacBook? It used to be 'Y', but it doesn't work anymore, unless I click on the dedicated LR button with the mouse. Thx for the video. Awesome insights and welcome inspiration! : )

[@BrianFung1234]

I love your color style a lot and I’m so happy that you share your workflow with us!

[@patkay]

thanks for watching!

[@BrianFung1234]

@@patkay want more of these😍 maybe do a portrait workflow next time? I love your portraits too🙈🙈

[@marcoscena2957]

I really loved this video…the way you explain things , so clean, so clear , you are a great teacher mate, pls keep up with this good content. The podcast is great too!…I wish to see how you approach picture with photoshop!,

[@melankaya]

Would love an updated version of this considering LRC/ ACR updates

[@yuansui7035]

How can I download the RAW format of this photo so that I can practice using it when I get home? Thank you!

[@-AtomsPhere-]

Why not start with your square crop for Instagram at the beginning? Not gonna lie, that square crop sort of bummed me out. I definitely liked the original aspect ratio more. Great video though, learned a lot. I didn’t know you could sharpen that way!

[@achristianson4059]

How is it that your adobe lightroom is different than mine… I’m on PC , and mine doesn’t have all the right side panel features. I’m not aware of any entry level versus prograde Lightrooms. I have the most recent version. Maybe I have a cheap version and not even knowing it

[@vincencohan3626]

Can you please do this tutorial with Photoshop🙏🏻because some of us only use that program. 🤭✌🏻 great photo an editing by the way

[@RexNathanChan]

Thank you for this video! I haven't used LR for so long and realised I never knew how to use it fully before...so much to learn! :) Cheers from Melbourne!

[@sketchy_7895]

Hey I don’t normally comment on anything however this was awesome help and learnt handy tips and tricks Thanks heaps ✌🏽👌🏽

[@rvbdordrecht]

For me it would be great if yo did a tutorial about Adobe Lightroom, not the classic version. I love working with the non-classic Lightroom.

[@travisstorms9951]

Thank you!

[@patkay]

no problem! =)

[@pulkitarora466]

Can you explain what each setting means? Like - What does the histogram depict? What information do i gather with it?

[@FelipeBarbosa638]

You explain everything so simply, is really good... Doesn't this blues bulb you use over the desk changes how you look at the colour?

[@DevilusionR]

Hi I'm using Lightroom Classic and it doesn't seem like I could use calibration or clip the shadow in tone curve anymore. Did I misunderstand anything or did it remove those functions?

[@Fili2009able]

Wow Thanks a lot , thinking to buy Adobe Lightroom , I have only few weeks involve with photography and I love it , I'm a bass player but I want to learn more how to take and edit pictures by the way I was in Hokkaido long long time ago in Sapporo and Jozankei it was 1979 ...wow long time ago

[@lawlinyourface]

How do you upload to Instagram from your computer using Lightroom classic? Email the photo to yourself or does adobe have some type of cloud storage I am missing I can grab it from on my phone after watermarking it.

[@magnus_jaya]

Very interesting. Good to keep learning others perspectives and subjective choices. Is there an up to date version with new Lr tools?

[@alexsinov]

Quick question, if it's not too late. Why edit the whole image (and worry about al those details) if you're going to crop so much of it?

[@MoLetalis]

From the beginning until somewhere at the end, I loved the video and the landscape scenery the photo had to offer. It kind of hurt to see you cropping it to a portrait just so that it takes up more space on Instagram.

[@coltonberry9935]

Can someone explain to me his comments about white balance? I was under the impression that all changes made to raw images in LRC are reversible. What does he mean by changing hues and adding luminance degrades the image or adds artifacts?

[@sethie_shots]

I’m wondering why the crop wasn’t first in the tutorial? Great edit- love the style!

[@eliyahu101]

I love this. You explain very well. Did you every use darktable yo edit your pictures. I would love a video on that.

[@chelseakranick8222]

Could you explain presets further in a future video ? I would appreciate it so much.

[@jaimecoda]

Thanks for sharing! Do you use the contrast slider? Or just stick to the tone curve to add contrast?

[@patkay]

I don't usually; I always control contrast with the tone curve because it looks more natural =)

[@abdullakhaled6261]

I dont recommened to play with luminance if youbdont know how to use it espicially if the photo isnt raw

[@WazPieMuffin]

The PieMuffin approves! Love the walk-through !

[@KevoStylesK]

how do you export your images for instragram for the best result in terms of how the image looks at the end? i feel like sometimes my images look not as sharp after uploading it, as if they were before. probably something to do with the compression instagram is doing to have smaller image sizes?

[@snoogly]

Up until 9:00 I could do this, but being color blind after that it was moot.

[@YaboyKy]

“Heych Es Uhl” = HSL You’re welcome American viewers

[@bc_views]

I thought I was going to hate this video. Never have I been interested in photography....NEVER! Long story short, I am looking into grabbing the A7siii (wanted the FX3) and now interested in trying my hand at taking urban/street photography. Also, making an effort to learn how to edit (video/photo) in adobe looks fun, although, my start was on FCPX, but lacks photo editing in my opinion. Long video but learned a lot and well worth the watch. Keep up the great work!

[@patkay]

i hope you enjoy the journey =)

I can't look at the first image without hearing City Pop, so good job?

[@VavoVideo]

Hi! I'm new in the channel.. why don't he uses Flickr?

[@breaddddd]

Super helpful video, I love your editing style. Unrelated question, do you know of any photographers that shoot in a similar style to you Itchban/Kohki/etc. based in South Korea? I feel like the majority of photographers that I follow base themselves out of Japan, SG, HK, Shanghai, or Taiwan. I wonder why?

[@patkay]

I don't really! I think it's because perhaps Korea doesn't use IG as much as those other countries? They use Naver for like almost everything... but to be honest I'm sure there's a better reason than just that haha

[@alessandro_arg]

beautiful video. please do one with car(s) if you can!!

[@samuerde]

Great video, the only thing missing was the export settings.

[@nevensky]

I dislike the crop, the image was way better before you did that.
