Manny you’re my favorite photographer and inspo 🙏🏽✨ Love you work, keep doing your thing!

How to edit in LR: 1.Load in Photoshop 2. Do 90% of the edit there 3. slap on a preset (tweak it a bit) 4. Done :D Funny thing is this really is how PROs actually do it. Presets are important for consistent results and style :)

[@Azn_Bran]

Yeah I really feel like this is how it's done. PS is the heavy lifter by far, I am no pro but my workflow really has moved toward the same.

[@MrAnuragindia]

They just try to sell us their presets

[@Miry_]

@@MrAnuragindia yes, but that's not the point. You can make your own easily :)

[@JBaileyRE]

And it says lightroom work flow. The first thing I do, leave lightroom..lol. it's all good. Photo looks great.

[@Jorda5s]

Great video simple but on point! I love how humble you teach

[@MarkCas89]

Hey Manny, really appreciate this video. Concise and on point! Can you do a bit more of an in depth video on the MSI to help us creators consider why it may be good to use this new laptop, please? You’re the only person I’ve found on YT that specifically touched on how this laptop handles LR and photography apps and I’d like to know if this laptop would be a good choice between apple’s recent release of the new 2019 MBP 16”. Would be interested to hear how you managed the switch from Apple system in general. And how quick the MSI is when exporting and switching between LR & PS! Thanks man!

[@brucelrenz8646]

hOOO a new vidéo from Manny! i'm so happy !! It's nice to see you. You look great.

[@timecapsulefoto]

JUST what I needed. Amazing to see how far you've come. Hope to work with you someday

Dope edit bro! Love the cool tones👌

[@micknificent]

Your barber did a great job on your beard. This is coming from a photographer/barber. I loved the video Manny. Keep it up!

[@victoresparza7623]

I know this is an old video, but do you prefer lightroom or lightroom classic? Trying to get more into photography and a lot of people say classic is better. Banger video BTW!! You make it seem so easy and fun

[@RudyVisuals]

Shoutouts from London dude! I'm just learning the ins and outs of Lightroom as my wife usually does most of the editing. This was super helpful!

[@sg3-h7u]

wish the export settings were included...i always feel like my pics look so yuck after export. Also, why work in adobe rgb color space if the final viewing color space is sRGB? just curious:) thanks!

Great video Manny what lens did you use on the xpro3 in the pic you featured on this video?

[@giacomotorreggiani116]

I also have a laptop (pavillion) with nvidia GTX and I’m trying to gain a good color rendering during the editing but I don’t know how to set it up, do you use a calibrator? Thanks from Italy 🙌🏼🙌🏼🇮🇹

[@drew_tube9591]

So when you post it on ig - do you let ig crop it so it fits on a post ? That’s my biggest thing cause I shoot mainly portrait angle cause of how much picture I can fit on ig- only problem is knowing how much room to leave so that when you post it on ig nothing important gets cropped

[@1984esperanza]

Great Video! Please I have a question I have a hesitation between buying the FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM and Buying FE 24mm 1.4 GM for Wedding & Daily Photo. I have already the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM. Which one do you recommend me? I am open for any other suggesstion

[@thatoneguy9982]

I actually need help with lightroom, so I take my photos in RAW, and when I export photos for printing I use tiff. I convert the photos in TIFF and it brings it about to 137 mb. However the printing company says I need at least 300 dpi for printing my photos. However, when I check my photos they're at 240 dpi. So can you not do big prints with lightroom??

[@WorldXMovies]

You can actually change the Values in the Settings, that if you import it to Photoshop, it will make it 300dpi :)

[@almirgomes5]

You can change those settings when you're exporting your photos. Go to file/export and once you get this window go to the subtopic "image dimensions". In my computer I have 240ppi, I think that's the native resolution of my camera. Hope this helps you.

[@almirgomes5]

... and remember, when you increase the resolution you are interpolating, this always generates losses, even if small. another point, 300dpi is resolution for photos printed in graphics, because of the number of lines (resolution/2) (I worked in the graphic market for more than 20 years and I can say that).

[@KoenMiseur]

I work in a printing shop and the 300dpi really only matters if u want to print it big, so or u want to print it real big (like A2 or bigger) 240dpi should be plenty! Also 137mb, that's alot for a printer, I'm wondering how much megapixels your photo has that it's that big!

Purchased the retouching course and am new to Photoshop and portrait editing. I know this was a few years ago not sure if things have changed inside of the program in PS 2023. having issue saying "The command “Select” is not currently available." When trying to use the action provided. Please tell me a workaround or the proper way to make this work. Thanks

[@LeeandroNoray]

Try capture one, you can draw a mask on a specific area like the wall the adjust ONLY that.

[@joshuamerchan2]

What are your export settings for social media? When I export and post on social media, it always comes out low quality. (I am fully aware of IG compressing the photo.) But when I look at your photos and other photographer's photos on IG, they came out crispy and sharp! I export to JPG using the new Lightroom on the best quality. Anything I am missing? Any help is appreciated.

[@gengskycryptokmol4350]

Whats up bro.. Whats your camera settings? Do you shoot in an aperture priority in portrait? Thanks

[@ardor4247]

Manny, great vid. Did you use to be a Mac user? I ask because I have been for 11 years but am struggling to find one that I'm happy with performance-wise these days. Between that and apple's constant fashion over function to now only have USB-C is driving me mental. So if you were a Mac user, how are you finding the transition? I generally really dislike the MS OS and visually find it unappealing, but functionality-wise they appear to be the way to go now. Very different to when I initially started using Mac.

[@travelingtrekez7034]

Great Video!

[@509FUN]

What’s the difference between how you use blur and painting on the blur on light room? Isn’t that just adding a step to go to photo shop? I do the same thing just all in light room painting the skin smoother essentially

[@cottojn]

How much time should someone spend editing photos? One or a bunch.

[@szlm3069]

Hello.. m beginner and have issue with RAW photos I take with my canon 7T..lightroom does not read raw images and I don t know why..lenses used 55mm 250 mm and a 18 55 mm

[@tonifespada]

Is it better to make the skin correction at then of the editing process? I listened before that when you open a RAW image then you switch to photoshop, you are loosing the information of the RAW file, is that correct? I see when you come back from PS the image is on .TIFF format

[@ekkacullenful]

Hey manny, your tutorial is missing the first freq sep photo and also the snow preset

Hey Manny what do you think about the adobe subscription model for amateurs? If i do this, ill be paying lots if i use it for about 10 years or so...

Off subject but have u ever used the diffused ad200 pro with deflector hand held on location I seen one video on it but I know u would give honest feedback on it.

[@lhill93]

Do you use the newer version of Lightroom? The new version frustrates me as an “intermediate beginner” and I am thinking about going back to learn Classic. I notice even recent Lightroom videos/tutorials are done using Lightroom Classic.

[@9ml22]

@Manny do you have a course for beginners? I am trying to get started...I would definitely pay.

[@ChemaGD]

Do you have a calibrated screen? Do you always edit in the laptop?

[@jobanh7ify]

I love presets... I used to start from the bottom and make my own base, which is good but time consuming, and now I use the preset and start from there. Great video and beautiful photo!

I am getting a message in Lightroom saying could not copy a file to the destination folder because is not writable. This never happened before when importing photos.

[@ollihtl]

Manny, have you tried The Fader plugin for LR? With it you can adjust the intensity of a preset, from 0-150% it’s amazing in many many cases. I cannot recomend it enough (not tied to it in any way, just love it)

[@MannyOrtiz]

Damn never heard of it

[@ollihtl]

Manny Ortiz don’t want to put shady looking links here. Check out Capturemonkey the fader videos here or google it. It is free, but i think it was 15€ for the ”full version” which just works faster.
