[@JhecaceviCenteno]

Thanks, this is great, I want to learn about the next step which is exporting a picture, either for printing or for social media

[@JamesLima]

This is better than many long hour courses I've taken. Thanks! 👏

[@Ryan_Mikael]

I’m just starting out with lightroom and thank you so much for this

[@donmariano5489]

A very big help budd. Just continue creating videos like to help us improve and inspire others.

[@riareNsemeri]

Thank you so much! Just what I needed to get started. Only question is that your lightroom layout is different from the way mines look (doesn't have the bar at the top like yours) ... Great video! Mahalo🤙🏼

[@Troubledegret612]

Honestly that was one of the most understandable, intuitive tutorial videos I have ever seen. Many thanks!

that makes me so freaking happy to hear you have no idea lol

[@cesarsalazar7402]

I love how this is NOT a : "I'll show you the tools but take my private course to really learn something" kind of video, and I love how you encourage people to learn with differents tools and it's not like "You do this and that and all done"

[@Lannd84]

this is a rare things even more now days

Straight to the point, no horrible music or bad jokes or overly friendly BS. Gotta love it.

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. I literally just learned LR in 17 minutes.

[@elijahrhodes8162]

This guy explained it exactly how it needs to be explained! Most people try to do tutorials that seem like they are for professionals, but why would a professional be watching it? Great tutorial!!!

[@sawyerhartman]

Yeah my guy!!!!

SAME lol

[@kacrn96]

I've never really felt comfortable in knowing what I was doing with the tone curve, but this video totally nails it. Great tutorial! So easy to follow. Thank you!

[@johndavid_]

Hands down one of the best explanations of basic photo editing in lightroom I have ever seen. Simple, to the point, enlightening. Especially what to do where and why. It helps you leave the 'basic' tab more often and with confidence. I have seen many tutorials, but watching this turned on new light switches of understanding. Thanks!

"You think it looks nice, you zoom out and suddenly you've got a twilight 4 poster" lmao 😂 this guy was hilarious

[@scottc2892]

That was by far, the best tutorial I've seen on Lightroom. I knew you were supposed to follow the tabs; Library, Develop, etc, but using; Correction, Colour and Finishing as the steps, has just unlocked the entire process and understanding of Lightroom for me.

[@urbansolo]

The fact this smart man lets us download the photo that he edits with and fallow the steps deserves 10 mil subs at least!! thank you kind sir !

[@urbansolo]

Can I use this photo, edited in my Instagram to show case that I'm learning editing ?

[@newellzelarayan9117]

you are a genius ! Thank you for demonstrating the Tone Curve the way you did. I haven't even finished the whole video but wanted to say thank you for making such an easy to follow, clear, and simple video explaining Lightroom editing. I'm a beginner photographer and needed this tremendously!

[@emelizabethh1986]

I have always used photoshop for all of my editing. I never been taught how to use Lightroom and this video was SO helpful. Thank you so much. Will definitely be referencing back to this often:)

[@Stephanie-vh8ru]

Easily the best and most comprehensive tutorial I've seen for LR. Love the pace and the detailed explanations for everything. Just subscribed!

[@marciagardner992]

I am a beginner who has been obsessively searching for great tutorials for a couple of months now....and after watching dozens of tutorials on this subject, I have found this one to be the very best! I love how you jump right in and get straight to the point with out dinking around with off-subject content. People searching for information are not searching for entertainment, we are usually needing quick information, and you have offered this in an easy to understand format. Bravo....and thank you! I’ll be following you as one of my top 3 go-to instructors for now on....and I’ll be recommending you to others as well.

[@crudepeace]

This was absolutely amazing! Great tutorial, intuitive, simple to understand and thorough! This is the kind of content youtube is great for!

[@Abideatlove]

This is THEEEEE BEST Lightroom tutorial ever! After watching this makes me think the other tutorials I’ve seen, well those people don’t know how to edit 😅🙈

[@jacihasty3576]

I've watched probably a billion Lightroom editing tutorial videos and this is the first one that made sense from start to end. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to make this video! You're a life saver.

[@stevenmeansphotography3861]

[@christopherjames6060]

What a great editing video. Best I have seen so far. Down to earth, explains the bits you need, no nonsense. Great for beginners like myself, may have to revisit the video 2-3x, making notes, pause /rewind and re do the edits I’ve done. But yeah, really happy that I me personally understand it

[@georgewashington7425]

May God bless you for your selflessness in sharing so much wisdom in an 18 minute video. The way you explained everything from start to finish really blessed me, even to you allow your photos to be downloaded so we can follow along was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much for this video! Please do more to help those of us that are just starting on this journey! You are appreciated brother 🙏🏽💯🙌🏾

[@FindingMinwoo]

I wish I had watched this earlier before I watched all other work flow tutorials. This is not only a work flow tutorial but also a fundamental guide/manual of the software and explains what works how. I understand lightroom much much better now and I'm excited to apply all of these to my next photo editing. Thank you so much. Best lightroom basic tutorial ever!

[@ArmandoMedia]

me too

[@nikyabell1167]

This tutorial is amazing. I was literally on the verge of tears with frustration before finding this. You really dumbed it down for us who need lots of explaining!! Thank you 💪🏻

[@suyashkumar223]

For anyone wondering, you can get camera correction in Lightroom cc by going to the three dots on the left side and enabling colour calibration (different name, but same thing). Split tone in Lightroom cc is your colour grading section, which presents in a different format, but is essentially the same thing

[@IAMTOMA_]

Bro, you are a gift from god. This has to be THE BEST tutorial I’ve seen on KZbin. A step by step process and straight to the point. No veering off topic. This was excellent, thanks.

[@guwanidumunasinghe4448]

Amazing Tutorial. Thank you so much for making this. I use lightroom almost every day, but today I learned something new. How to use the tone curves correctly. Thanks, mate. Keep up your great work!!

[@jeremyjohnson2165]

I am so glad that I came across your video. You explained everything in the most simplest form without trying to give an over detail explanation about how each tool works..definitely will be following your steps from now on thanks‼️

[@bubblekittea]

You're literally a God you explained this So well, I'm so grateful this resource was free, I hope you got compensated properly for this video because I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us SO MUCH! I actually hit a huge bottleneck in photography because I didn't know how to edit except on "cutsey" apps and mobile sites like Fotor and Ribbit, wrestling with filters to get even 50% of the affect I wanted. I sucked it up and I'm trying Lightroom and I'm So Grateful for how you explained everything!

[@BA-wz4cl]

This was one of the best beginner's tutorials I've ever had. Thank you.

[@stanc846]

Thank You! You've given me more confidence in understanding my LR Classic tools with your CCF workflow.

[@perfectfutures]

Quite incredible how much you fit in here and how artistic the end result is. Say goodbye to dull and predictable digital files with these techniques. I love the way you use the sliders to taste, like dials, rather than fussing over particular values on them.

Woooo man I love you man, your set ups, the way you're teaching, just superdope 🔥🔥🇨🇦

[@kaitlinpryor5889]

I have watched endless videos since 2020 and I can honestly say that this was definitely one of the most informative and easy to understand. You explained everything so clearly and recapped it throughout. I feel like I just learned so much and I cannot believe it took me this long to find your page! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and abilities!

[@alenegalin9124]

Clearly the first video that simply explains everything without making you feel stupid!

[@MegBoucher]

I've never properly understood how the tone curves work, and your explanation cleared everything up for me in a matter of minutes. THANK YOU. I'd LOVE more videos just like this, maybe looking at a few specific things that people achieve in their photos and how to do them yourself?

The photos look ether pixilated or grainy. But you are saying that if they get print they look even worse. How do I fix that?
