Damian is some sort of Canadian God I swear.

[@ramshrikhande5526]

Second that

[@DamianPlisko]

my beard smells like maple syrup

[@cudakRS]

Your last name sounds kinda polish ;) keep up the great work!

[@DamianPlisko]

noico haha cause I am!

[@cudakRS]

fajnie! will follow you on insta :)

[@alchemisthere]

I love how there are so many ways in photoshop to get the same results. I edited a snapshoot from a cosplayer walking towards me. After changing background, adding particles and finally glow from the explosion in the new background, the final image is stunning, I'm so proud of myself :) Good job on this one, I just want to be in that car enjoy that sunset.

[@mannyzoom]

two months ago, i was watching these videos and did not understand a damn thing. Fast forward to the present, i was able to understand all the tools/steps except for the gradient blur (which i knew what it is but never knew how to apply it). These videos are prime for learning man. Keep them up!

[@am6610]

The light direction of the background doesn't match with the shadow of the car ! ! Take a look at the sun

[@SpaghettiniFiveMillion]

The shadow is soft enough so you don't rally notice it unless you're looking for it

[@badheadkida.k.aethan265]

Oh shid

[@pdebie1982]

OK, he shows us his Lightroom settings to this specific photo, but he doesn't tell why he does it. So we learned nothing. If he tells why he makes certain choises we can get a better understanding of it. During the Photoshop part he explains it a lot better.

[@MoeZainal]

Thank you for your feedback, I honestly feel that lightroom adjustments were self explanatory & every other photo will have a different kind of adjustments, you can watch my videos on editing car photos in Lightroom only - might be helpful.

[@hunterm9]

lookup some lightroom tutorials. I agree, but that stuff was pretty standard and not that specific to this type of photography/photoshop

[@EslamTawfig]

@@MoeZainal If every other photo will have a different kind of adjustments. So why you selected these values then for this particular photo?

[@angelocaras362]

I like those videos help me a lot with my editing!!! Thank you!!! Keep it up!

[@MoeZainal]

You are welcome, we're happy to hear so :-)

[@Olliegroot]

Epic

[@MoeZainal]

The power of the ask-hole, Damian Plisko 😃

[@simon_patterson]

Tutorial starts at 1:55

[@sowi2888]

I'd be very interested in how to straighten those reflection on the side like this. Does anyone know a tutorial for that? (Not a normal "removing reflections" tutorial. I'm really just looking for the straightening)

[@dimentbarg9793]

Use your imagination :)

[@farukhosan9870]

awesome job

[@ahmedshakib3883]

Moe that was awesome, another superb video.

[@MoeZainal]

Thank you Ahmed :-)

[@plusspodcast]

HOLLYMOLLYY AMAZING

[@clippingpathcreativeltd]

Amazing

[@franciscogarcia1604]

PLEASE HELP I have lightroom Classic CC since August 2018 and I can´t find the "Dehaze" tool in the develop section I also search where the grain tool is and still can´t find it. Help please.

[@cudakRS]

Hey Moe, another great collaboration! It's nice to see that the automotive community is so eager to share the knowledge and show how it's done, great to see that :) My biggest issue with car photography is overdoing it when it comes to retouch and post production, maybe it may serve as a subject for one of yout tutorials? just an idea, feel free to use it. I'd love to see feedback for other car photographers on another of your Q&A series, for example sharing my photos with you so you can tell me what you think. Keep it up man, love to see new stuff from you!

[@timeslidr9063]

8:30 will it blend.

[@TL-of1vy]

That is the question. Queue the the theme song

[@eugenc.3518]

Verry cool result!

[@HARLOWETV]

beautiful

[@racecrashrepeat]

wait so -10 whites took out all of the warm colour ? and black added it in again?

[@teryakiisauce]

Omggggg bahrain is a small country how did I not hear about this man?!! I'm bahraini too

[@MoeZainal]

Hello! :)

[@teryakiisauce]

Moe Zainal Hiiii!

[@user-tr3jw6eg6o]

Hello, I like your video very much. How can I get the raw file in the video?

[@ryanphotostudio]

Beautiful image 👌

[@DamianPlisko]

Damn dood, 100k views, niiiiiice

[@MoeZainal]

It's really good 😍

[@dobromirdragomirov5257]

Hi, there. Amazing video indeed. Can you suggest me a video or something related to working with multiple layers like you showed in the video. It is really hard to me to understand it. I'm beginner editor. Thanks in advance.

[@acidsnow5915]

that is a great edit tutorial thanks for sharing this great content with us! really enjoyed watching this

[@MoeZainal]

Happy to hear so, thank you for watching :-)

[@xCaLsTeR]

Damian the man

[@angelohaak3312]

Wow insane

[@Terinigan]

This, honestly, makes me a little sad. This is no longer photography, you might as well just have done a render from a 3D model. The outcome is beautiful, no doubt about that, but it is no longer a photo.

[@dash3dot]

Sorry sir but you are obviously lost and confused here. This is an image, a modified photograph that is suppose to present the main subject in the most flattering way. It's a product photography that is suppose to look attractive to the eye and it's doing that job very well. This is NOT a documentary photograph and nobody cares about that stuff in a product/car photography. The original (the real, honest and true in your understanding) photo looks blant and okay-ish at best, the edited one looks like from a car magazine or a poster/billboard, it's just delicious.

[@blackbonexxx]

if its beautiful what is the problem with it? I think a picture is only complete after de edits. Would you say that a painting that was painted with something other than a brush was no longer a painting? In the art world people cheat a lot to get the result they want and that's where the creativity emerges with the limits of technology(most of the times budget) or real world conditions. And I think that's what makes it beautiful! Have a nice day! :D

[@sergiofernandezgiraldo]

It's art dude.. simple as that

[@destructyo]

I really don't understand this mentality.

[@peterfeger9243]

[@ajuk7663]

I preferred the image before he fucked it up in lightroom

[@cloutstopperz6107]

Can I do this on mobile ?

[@_theaestheticz]

Is this lightroom cc or lightrom classic?

[@nils_ninja]

sick edit skills :)

[@maxmillion4216]

OMG....my car photos look so sick compared to this. Great job...!!!

[@ramsinghmeenaramsinghmeena427]

max million y by ho

[@4seeableTV]

I thought sick meant a good thing?

[@danyturpin5296]

So Perfect ! :o Thanks'you for this share @Moe Zainal

[@MoeZainal]

You are welcome, thank you for watching :-)

[@rollyladd3652]

What camera format was this photo taken with ?

[@badheadkida.k.aethan265]

The best part of the video is obviously the absence of the U.S rear bumper

[@santiagosicer6451]

Can you do it for lightroom mobile please?

[@Hasbulla271]

when i try to download the raw images it dont get to my email.

[@VojtechTren]

please tutorial on intro :D

[@bahaatamer1245]

Can you do something like this in Affinity Photo?

[@MoeZainal]

Yes, you should be able to do this in Affinity since its a layer based editing app just like photoshop - search youtube for affinity photo manipulation, you should see tutorials on how it is done.

[@basquera]

Hi Moe. Where I find this RAW image for study? Tks.

[@chillipompom5263]

All You need is a bugatti chiron !

[@davidalanmedia]

Thanks Moe that was an AMAZING tutorial by Damian!

[@MoeZainal]

Damian is a WIZZZ!

[@john3Lee]

Thank you, and thumbs up from me :)

[@MoeZainal]

Thank you!

[@Basillios]

I also make videos on how to edit like famous photographers

[@flymeedrone6350]

How much I hate layer's empty masks! grrrrr!! There's an option to avoid photoshop to put them on by default. They are 2 options actually, in the layer panel and in the adjustments panel.

[@user-rt1kz8xt9u]

Wooah!

[@MoeZainal]

ooooh yeah!

[@za90255]

Hi from your neighbors at al-ahsa

Hey Hey Neighbours, thank you for checking by.

He doesnt even need a camera.

who is Damian Plisko?

[@MoeZainal]

This is a bit of Damian Plisko instagram.com/damian.plisko?igshid=eq5vrm14oiqj

[@captainawasome8985]

I want reflections and as much information as possible. The end result doesn't look natural, it looks more like a screenshot from a game. Removing lightposts people pollution and trashcans is as far as I would go.

[@ryonatkinson6637]

Lol I followed him already

[@meetsatani8818]

Please reply

[@sehaseluk]

[@Eduartswag]

Anybody wanna edit a picture of my car? I really wanna put it on a poster and hang it on my room but i really suck. I’ll DM you if someone wants too?✌🏻

[@meetsatani8818]

How to make picture you insta photo send

[@EyeCanShootFL]

Compositing isn’t photography.

[@SamCliffeMusic]

Bro nice vid but u literally took his video and turned it into his

[@MoeZainal]

Sorry, didn't get you, can you please elaborate?

[@SamCliffeMusic]

Moe Zainal well it’s his video pretty much cuz it’s his tutorial and u speak for the first 2 mins

[@MoeZainal]

@@SamCliffeMusic I am hosting Damian on my channel, those who are watching need an intro about the channel and Damian 🤷🏽‍♂️ makes sense?

[@SamCliffeMusic]

Ok cool didn’t realsie

[@MoeZainal]

@@SamCliffeMusic all cool buddy

[@user-xz4jd5vu6o]

The original photo is much more beautiful!

[@DamianPlisko]

I disagree

[@certeez]

you lost me when he touched that clarity slider..

[@harishanmalar4236]

☝☝☝👎👎👎👎💖✊✊👌👌

[@abrahamg3354]

It doesn't even look real anymore. I prefer stock.

[@FyyMyy]

It's a photomontage... :(

[@SyanArtStation]

I'm super sorry to say this, because this video of yours is made with the best positive intentions to bring something nice for the audience. And it is, but this is FAR from being a professional work. The way Damien "showed" us the lightroom process was not natural, he made some STUNNING mistakes like total burn down the lights and miss the lents focus details of the subject.. Color to everyone preference not gonna bother here BUT.. the light and shadows later in PS.. what a disaster.

[@destructyo757]

I agree that his workflow maybe isn't ideal, but at least his work doesn't look like forum signatures from the mid-00s...

[@linusziegler7086]

also that sharpening was a bit weird... this guy never heard of the masking slider
