[@EmilyMatthews]

It always surprises me how much an image can be enhanced through editing. Makes me understand the shot doesn't need to be exactly perfect right off the bat! It's inspiring to me - anyone else? :)

[@danieljoseph3191]

yes and no. In my experience the closer I have my raw shot to perfect the better my edits are. All inspiring nonetheless! I've always been afraid of the S-Curve but I think I'm finally ready after this video

[@EmilyMatthews]

@@danieljoseph3191 That's a very valid point. So you prefer to set the shot as close to your ideal version as possible, this way there's only a few edits? Would you prefer to take a shot that requires less edits (because it's close to perfect right off the bat) or to take the shot another way and edit it (so that it's perfect) ?

[@mislam13]

I thought it was common practice to frame your shot as close to the end result as possible, so that it makes it easier to edit later on down the road. Personally, that's what i do. When I a have the time to properly frame my shot i take that opportunity, if not, I will take the photo to the best of my abilities and fix it in post edit.

[@ukinam2143]

In my opinion the process of taking the actual photo is as important if not more important than the post processing. Framing your shots, waiting for the perfect lighting, composing with intention and to capture emotion are all there. The best photos in the world required little to no editing. I believe studying old masters really enhances your skillset as a photographer and your sensitivity to the subject you are shooting. I suggest Ansel Adams, Richard Avedon, Henri Cartier and Dorothea Lange are names all photographers can learn from.

[@ronaldbenz_]

Well, the thing is: Take pictures the best you can, editing can't save all photos. Maybe someone needs a photo right away, so you'll be good with your non edited photo.

I can't thank you enough for all of your videos. I got my dad's camera when he passed and it sat on a shelf for a few years because it seemed too complicated. Watching your videos is giving me confidence and inspiration. I am learning something from you and your friends every day.

secrets😂😂 those are basics in lightroom. he probablyis just paid by adobe to promote their new features

He frames them as secrets so that you can watch the video. They’re not actually secrets. You’re just a sucker

[@atelaz17]

Thank you so much for your content!! Stoked to hear about the tutorials in Lightroom CC as well! These videos are so much easier to follow than the lengthy Creative Live videos. One can only focus on so much in a day, but your videos have been truly helpful!

[@martinwalker1004]

I’ll be playing my way through those tutorials over my Christmas break. Thank you from Northern Ireland. A lot of our natural landscapes and sky tones are very similar to those in your photos.

100% watch James Hoffman, do a video with him too. Also, tamp consistently, change your grind or your yeild if shots aren't tasting good 👌

Thanks Pete. I always enjoy your tutorials

[@grouchostarx531]

Seeing all of your tutorials in LR made my heart so happy I teared up a little bit.

[@jimmyhii3]

Pete, is there a difference in adding the S curve to each of R, G, and B channels versus adding a single S curve in the combined RGB curve?

[@MichaelTaylorFilms]

No, there isn't. Save yourself from absolutely destroying your white balance and just apply a S-Curve in the RGB tab 😂

[@Black3ternity]

I think he does it individually to exactly move the color to a certain point instead of controlling everything together.

[@jimmyhii3]

@@MichaelTaylorFilms thanks! that's what I thought lol, unless he applied different curves in each channel to do something specific but he didn't in this video =/

[@joshlee7320]

Michael Taylor there is a difference

[@jimmyhii3]

@@joshlee7320 what's the difference, can you explain? I thought the RGB curve affects all 3 channels equally, and adding that same curve shape to each of the R, G, B channels would therefore result in the same output?

[@katina6961]

I think I have been using lightroom for four years now but I still feel like I know about 40% of what there is to know 😂😂 so thank you so much for the video!

[@DREWSLENS]

Been rewatching your lightroom videos all day then this drops 😲💡💚

[@MichaelTaylorFilms]

For those who are asking - there is no difference between adding a S-Curve to the individual R, G, B channels and adding the same S-Surve to the dedicated RBG channel. Save yourself from destroying your white balance by just apply a global RGB S-Curve. 😂

[@flipfilms1759]

There is a difference, with the individual ones you can have variation within the RBG curves which will result in some different colors in your photo. It can help you get a look you otherwise would not get with the regular RGB curve. The dedicated RGB curve and the individual ones will yield the same result only if you apply the same exact curve adjustment to each R,G,B channel.

[@MichaelTaylorFilms]

@@flipfilms1759 that would be the case if that's the effect that was looking to be achieved in this photo 😂 but each channel was simply just a standard S-Curve 😂

[@flipfilms1759]

Michael Taylor if u watched the video closely you would see that the curves were a little bit different from eachother. The curves are very sensitive a small change on the graph can yield a large result on the photo. Oh I almost forgot 😂

[@ZakDeadlight]

Yeah I totally agree, there is very limited value in using the separate channels, but as Pete says, it's there if you ever need it
