Photography Competition looks amazing! What a cool opportunity to see it live!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

It sure does! It's their fourth year running this competition. It will be epic

Great summary Matt! I think the hidden bonus feature of this video is the tablet. If anyone isn't editing on a tablet, they need to do it sooner than later. For anyone unaware, you can assign presets to the buttons on the pen and the tablet itself which is a huge game changer for editing faster. Yes, it takes a wee bit of time getting used to a pen, but once you start using 1 hand on the tablet and another with the pen, you'll be saving editing time which means more time to get in the field!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thanks for the kind words! You’re absolutely right-editing on a tablet is a total game changer. It might take a little time to get comfortable with, but once you do, the efficiency boost is worth it. Appreciate you sharing your insight!

WOW. Thank you for this. How many photos I can change with this procedure!

[@ChuckJ7777]

I have been using both Lightroom and photoshop for a while and this is the first time I have seen this explained the way you did. Thank you. Now off to play with it.

I usually use LR or PS Camera Raw filter. I found this refreshing and a different approach. Thank you. BTW, in your elk photo. Is there another animal in the bottom right in the bushes? It almost looks like a bear? I may need to clean my glasses. lol. Thanks for this, Matt.

How different is this to color grading section in Lightroom classic ?

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Key Differences: Tone Curve - is primarily focused on adjusting brightness and contrast, though it can introduce color shifts when adjusting individual color channels. Color Grading - is focused on applying and blending color tints to different tonal ranges (shadows, midtones, highlights) for stylistic purposes. In summary, while the Tone Curve is a more technical tool for fine-tuning exposure and contrast, Color Grading is a creative tool for adding mood and atmosphere to your images through color. probably the same difference Vibrance is compared to Saturation lol. Not a whole lot but they both have their purpose. I hope this helps!

Why not use Command J to duplicate the layer. Seems easier.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

I agree it is easier. Thanks for mentioning that and thanks for watching.

[@cathyczajkowski5404]

I appreciate how you explain the techniques. Do you think you could leave out the background music? It was very distracting.

[@redkitedesign]

Another great video, Matt! When would you use this technique vs. using the soft light/color dodge one in kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKexZ3iZj8l4esU?

[@edwinlesiuk6369]

No offense here, I have been taking wildlife and bird photos for about 2.5 years now. And I have never used a photo editor to alter any of my photos. I feel it is a form of a unethical behaviour. This is my current way of thinking. Who knows what I may do down the road.

Nice histogram 🤌🏻
