*I know the audio is EQed badly. This is something I have fixed on my newer videos. Feel free to tell me again if you want to.*

"Take a break" is the best advice. So true!

I love how in a concise 30 second intro the creative flow of your transitions puts most Cinematic Vloggers to shame, AND you just get on with the actually content of the video. Thank you and thanks for the tips.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="41">0:41</a> consider cropping your image <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="183">3:03</a> use white balance to make your shot feel right <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="307">5:07</a> selectively lighten and darken aka dodge and burn <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="404">6:44</a> edit in 16-bit <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="566">9:26</a> level and straighten your image <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="665">11:05</a> take a break

These must take an age to write and produce - I really appreciate all the effort you go to. Amazing.

Another tip, that could be added to your last, is to mirror the image. This allows you to see the picture again "for the first time" and spot any inconsistencies you didn't spot before. Great content, keep up the good work! 😁

Your 13 minute video is more informative than what others wold probably charge hundreds of pounds to teach us. And definitely saved me many hours of just googling for informations as such. I appreciate the time you took to help us. Many thanks!!

Sweet editing and in camera transitions, Jamie!

The information you possess is so invaluable! I’ve recently graduated from uni and your videos have taught me more than what I’ve learnt from the whole 3 years at uni!

Now that's a thumbnail

"The content of your image is more important than the technical quality of it". Perfect, and doesn't only relate to cropping.

I've been shooting for decades and processing for about 10 years. Even so, I found this video very interesting and informative. Great presentation style and lots of very helpful and relevant images to show examples. I learned a great deal. Thank you so much for posting this. You have a new subscriber!

I can only imagine how much planning went into putting these cool camera transitions together not only during editing but also the whole process of coming up with the concept.

That 8bit/16bit tip! thank you so much! 🤟🏻

What I really like with you Jamie, is that you are actually talking to "me" - you share your great knowledge with such ease and you really take your time to explain this to even a non-photographer like me. Thanks a million Jamie!

i totally love the way you explain things along with doing practical examples that just makes things a lot more easy to understand.

Brilliant content Jamie, no faff, just straight-up info, and guidance. I'm just starting out with photography and you are such a trusted source. Thank you!

The last tip was the most important tip... Sometimes I end up over-editing my images only to regret months later...

The 16 bit editing tip was awesome. Thank you so much!

The way he explains and shows examples is just very immaculate. Very helpful for people who want to learn!

Jamie, thank you very much for the time and effort you put on your videos. I have been watching for quite sometime, you help me a lot! I wish you all the best, you deserve the world my friend.

this is a beautiful video. thank you so much for the effort and the insight.

this was by far one of the most helping videos I've ever watched about editing. so simple and useful.

Came back to this after months (due to yt recommendation) and realized how much this has become my workflow. I started photography about 7 months ago. Now I am in a state though, where I want to edit less and less, and get things right in-camera, as I feel as a hobby, editing like this can sometimes distract you too much from the story you're trying to tell. Thanks for showing!

Fantastic advice, very organically and fluidly presented. Love it!

number 6, real experience talk. Something I been overlooked for soooo long. Thank you Jamie!!

Your channel has became my favorite one, not only because of the nice tips you always give us, but because of the explanation on every step and the reasons behind any artistic decision. Thanks!!

Finally, someone that can deliver a lot of information in a short period of time without straying from the point or constantly repeating themselves. Nicely done! The conversion from 8-bit to 16-bit to 8-bit is going to help a lot. Thanks.

I love your videos so much. I have been shooting for 30 years, your work lets me know I can still grow and I enjoy your perspectives and delivery. You are in it, connected to the work and in the spirit. Thank you.

What I love about your content is how you give out great, concise advice, with examples from the Masters.

One of my favourite, honest, down to earth photography teacher. Always admire the high level of editing in your work whilst maintaining minimalism in work and message. Thanks again!

Rightly getting the recognition you deserve Jamie. Not just for your excellent tips, but for the thought and execution of the video itself! I love your attention to detail - for example, the 6 digits at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="8">0:08</a>, or the placement of the various bits of video in the intro. Sooooo good! Thank you for the effort you put in. It's really appreciated :)

Oh, I believe this was the best produced visual tutorial I have encountered in all my days in the KZbins. so graphically clear, efficiently useful, and creatively enjoyable. wow. plus a good voice for narration always helps the info go down, in the most delightful way, as Mary Poppins used to say.

You video Intro and video composition is Top quality production. About the information very useful. Thanks!!!

THE BEST thumbnail! Brilliant, simple to follow editing suggestions. Jamie, this and your video on black and white are fantastic. Well done.

Jamie is fantastic, so much knowledge shared in only one video. The 8 to 16 bit tip is pure poetry.

You're videos are my absolute favorites when it comes to photography! I absolutely relate to your approach.

Honestly, you're one of the photographers and creatives I enjoy watching. Aside from the really nifty edits and cuts, you provide some relevant insight that's important for us to think about us. Sometimes I feel like as a photographer I get obsessed with certain details, when I should try experimenting a bit more and not be so bound by rules or "technical details" in an image. Awesome upload, Jamie.

Highlight of the week - a new Jamie Windsor video. Especially loved the 8bit/16bit tip. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Watching this, made me wish that I was in a photography class in college and that you were my professor. The passion in the video is awesome, I think your students would learn a lot because they wouldn’t be bored

Some of the best editing tips I've heard. Perfect examples shown too. And your video editing is sick! Great work man. Love it. Instantly subscribed!

Hands down best photography videos on the website! I always feel so inspired with photography after every video.

Your videos just kick butt. Always excellent. 👌👌

Thank you for providing these tips among others and the great advice to go along with them. Good show!

Your vids are great, Jamie, so much useful info presented concisely. Plus your video editing together with the music keeps the video fresh.

That's a daaamm good tutorial, not usual tips that we see everywhere, thanks a lot !!

Thank you Jamie for sharing these valuable tips much appreciated

Can't say enough about the info, as simple as it may seem, clear, concise and so on target for me to follow; No.6, so true. Many thanks.

Thank you for the tips. Taking a break is so important before finalizing edits

Wow! The editing on this is absolutely stunning

I follow more photo/editing/videography-channels on KZbin than I dare to admit. It´s ALOT. You sir are on another level than all others. It´s just something.. something unique about the vibe you manage to create.I cant always put my finger on what it is, i just know I love it.

I’ve just subscribed to your channel and I must say that your videos are the best I’ve seen so far in regards to describing how to take photographs and how to capture different moods, feelings, and subjects. Thank you.

Things like "Quality of the content is more important than technical quality" or the last tip are the reason I love this channel (or Jamie himself). It's not just all technical but focuses on points where the technical aspects just aren't important at all! He for example doesn't only talk about what focal lengths different lenses have but rather how you should use different focal lengths to bring your point across. And that is so much more important! That's what sets him apart from many other channels! If you're looking for someone like this more on the videography side then I can only recommend you Mark Bone! Oh, and I also love this channel because of the super creative transitions and things like the sixth finger on the thumbnail! Love that! I wish you the best, Jamie Keep the content coming! :)

This is one of the best photography channels on KZbin. I'm glad I found you

Ohhh... the 8/16 bit editing part was illuminating

AMAZING TIPS !! Thank you so much James! I love your channel and I connect a lot with your teaching personality!

Thank you Jamie! Your videos are so helpful and clear. Thank you for being so clear, kind, and inspiring. So many YT photographers are angry and just want to bash other's work. I appreciate that you do not come across this way.

Your videos are just perfect,short and on point...I love them

Bro, the video transitions blew my mind!!! Literally!!!🤯

Jamie. You have a teaching gift. Im watching everything you have. Thank you.

Been rigorously learning as much as I can about Lightroom and Photoshop this past year. I learned some absolutely new things watching this vid! Much thanks for sharing!

I love your transitions. 👌🏽💯

Oh, thank you! This is the first time the 8/16-bit issue has been so clearly explained to me.

Thank you!! This was helpful. I like that you mentioned taking a break.

I will never understand people unliking great videos like this. 🤔 As always, top-notch content from my fave photographer-youtuber 😊. I've just woken up, drinking my coffee and have never been this fast on clicking a notification lol

man, you got an awesome video transitions, I absolutely love them all!

Haven't commented on a KZbin video in ages, but wanted to say you really nailed these pieces of advice. Especially the part about stepping away after edits before closing-out! Great work.

Thank you for the tip about 16-bit/channel. That has answered an issue I've come across a number of times and couldn't figure out a clean answer to. So helpful!

I find myself liking your videos before I even watch it because I know the effort you put into making quality content. Great stuff Jamie

Thanks Jaime! I was skeptical at first but your cropping examples brought a lot of integrity to that tip. Especially for people like me who tend to be more purist and want to get it right in camera. One suggestion. When discussing white balance. It’s helpful to let the term “white balance” simply be the normalization of an image with white whites and blacks blacks, etc. When it comes to stylizing your image whether it be warming it up or cooling it off or doing something more complex; this is no longer white balance because you are literally un- balancing the whites to get the look that you want. This stage can be referred to as a secondary edit, applying a “look”, stylizing the image, or something along those lines. In darkroom days it was just all considered “printing”. But it was always helpful to start with normalizing the image first so that you know better where to go with your adjustments to get the desired “look” while useing the normalized white balanced version as a reference and/or proof if working for a client who wants to see options.

i have watched a lot of clips and tutorials on youtube but you are a professional in every sense and level

Totally agree with the last tip! Thanks for the video!

Wow that 8bit/16bit tip was amazing. Thank you !! Subscribing, also love your accent 😃

Taking a break after editing is the most important thing here. I've learned the hard way

I’ve watched like 2 of your videos and I’m already a huge fan of your channel! Great videos, great content. 👌🏽✨

I'm a film student who recently picked up photography as a hobby. Both to improve my sense of composition and light and because it honestly is just a lot of fun. While they're many great educational channels out there, I personally learned the most from you and I almost always get motivated to just go out and shoot. Just the other day I've finished editing a shoot I did and now that I'm rewatching this video, I'm realising how much of your advice naturally stuck with me from when I first watched this video months ago.

Jamie, I've been learning photography and editing for just a few months and this stuff that you're putting out is a massive help for me. Thanks so much mate.

The first 45 seconds... Dude, AMAZING! The rest : Amazing. Here, have my like & follow!

Today I watched three of your videos, all of them extremely well presented and useful for me. Subscribed. Thank you for great content.

Thank you for the expert advise! I LOVE the way you explain things really helps me understand.

Outstanding tips Jamie! Happy New Year... Hope 2019 brings you all of the riches that you deserve! Be well and stay encouraged :-)

Im literally editing pics rn as u uploaded this lol Been doing photography for a year now and started editing two days ago, hopefully gonna get better soon lol Love ur videos and I never skip the ads, keep it going man

This has been so helpful for me!! Thank you so much Jamie for all your videos I love them so much!! Learning Lightroom was so daunting and now your tips really help make it so much better!! Actually all your tips and photography as well. Thank you for what you do You're amazing!! 🙂

The 6th one is actually the best one IMO, because when I'm learning or trying new things I often end up really liking what I'm doing, and coming back a few hours/days later I realize I could do better. It allows also to see the picture during day and night, and since my screen is not extraordinary, I'm also doing a double check with my phone later I also like doing something inspired from programming: pair editing, having another photographer with me while I'm editing giving me feedback on what I'm over doing/what can be improved/what I'm missing thanks btw your vids are excellent!

Great video, 1 tip from me:- ask yourself "what is this photo about?" Then start working towards bringing that out.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME!!!!!

No nonsense practical good advice! Excellent presentation Jamie

Hey Jamie, gotta say, you have the best youtube channel I've ever seen. The presentation plus content is superb. Your transitions as well. All A+ work! Thank you so much for making great content and helping those of us who are new, in our photography journey (1 1/2 years now!) THANK YOU! Subscribed on KZbin and insta!

Why KZbin only allows me to like video once? I would like to press the like button for as many time as I can cause your video really taught me some seriously amazing skills for photography. Thank you!

I thought I was being lazy when grabbing white balance from someone's eye, turns out it's legit. 😅

Great tips, beautifully articulated. Professional presentation to go with professional photographic skills.

First time watching you on youtube!! I must say I'm excited about watching all your other videos! You're my new photography mentor :-) Thanks Jamie!!

“Six things but he’s only doing a 5 finger gesture in the thumbnail.” *looks again “Wait what the fck”

Banger tips🔥 I agree that telling stories with photos is 🔑

i've just began taking my photography more seriously/trying to build my style! this video was very helpful and not a swamp of info so i appreciate that very much!

Excellent video, Jamie! I've just discovered your channel and the content I've seen so far is so concise and well considered, thank you!

I never found any youtuber told me to take a break but bruh that was the most crucial one

I love how you use masters of photography as an example. It feels like it's a lost art here in KZbin where people lose so much time studying techniques and not enough art.

this is the second video of yours I've watched and I find your presentation style to be concise, informative and unpretentious. Subscribed.

Loved the "banding" tip! Thanks Jamie!
