Adobe Lightroom's BEST Feature

[@seandalt]

Are there any other tools in Lightroom that you think are absolutely game-changers for editing? Let's get a list going!

[@jordhammond]

I wanna see a tutorial on the Calibration. Gimme gimme.

[@seandalt]

Comin right up Mr. Hammond!

[@AlexBjorstorp]

Hey Sean. One of my all-time favorites and still the one I struggle the most with -> the Tone Curves. Usually I do an S-Curve in the RGB sections but I know there's so much more to it. However, it really changed the dynamics of contrast for me. Would love to see a video on your toughts and process if you use them!

[@Ravver]

thanks so much, Sean, learned months worth of work in just this video alone!

[@seandalt]

Appreciate the comment man!

[@mnis]

For those who're watching this video after Adobe added Layers and select object features, this guys must be very happy :)

[@Amateurprotographer]

PHENOMENAL video. Knew a few of these, but super glad you highlighted them and shared some great tips and shortcuts.

[@seandalt]

Appreciate the comment and the sub! Glad you found the video useful :)

[@skylardayas7885]

I'm proud of you Sean, I've been watching ur vids on skillshare to help me throughout photography.

[@seandalt]

Hey Skylar, appreciate you watching my courses on Skillshare and my videos here :) Glad to hear they are helpful for you!

[@street2stream726]

Awesome video. Thanks Sean. I enjoy the rough and dirty style. Quick paced with enough info to understand

[@seandalt]

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment as well.

[@Travel_Nibbles-zn9zg]

Very useful!... No beating around the bush! Loved it! Thanks

[@cynderelliee]

This was so helpful and the amount of detail you went into for each adjustment was great. I learned so much! Thank you

[@seandalt]

Thank you Cindy! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment :)

[@monidelvalle11]

Sean, thank you so much for the video! Actually realized so many other things about the adjustment tools. Keep these videos coming!!!

[@seandalt]

No problem Moni, thank you for watching! I am glad you found the vid useful :)

[@ronelcornelissen8962]

I keep forgetting how to use these😊 . Esp the ' erase and fix bits" AND find gradients scary 😅Thanks for the easy reminders, the examples are really great explanations. Your photos ate stunning

[@hidekigomi]

I didn’t know the erase function within the graduated filter and the range mask within the radial filter (this isn’t yet available in the mobile, isn’t it?)! The best discoveries in months, thank you Sean! I was checking this channel literally yesterday to see if I missed any episode and if you were doing ok. I love your channel as always!

[@seandalt]

Unfortunately those features aren't yet available on mobile, which is so annoying! However you can make the adjustment on your laptop and the selection will transfer over to mobile with the range mask applied. If Adobe adds those features to mobile, it's going to be massive. Anyways thanks for your support Hideki, appreciate you checking in on the channel and hope you find the content going forward useful :)

[@cwieka23pl]

Great video! Looking forward for more Lightroom tips & tricks!

[@seandalt]

Thank you Kamil!

[@Martinoitalico]

great! yesterday I installed lightromm and this video is simple and clear. I would like to ask you what you think of the sharpness control regarding photoshop?. I see that in lightroom quite a few squares are formed. thank u

[@kishanwilliams8379]

Thanks Sean for the tips and free presets.

[@seandalt]

Hey Kishan no problem brother, thank you for watching!

[@hejfabienne]

Waaaaah, made my day! Range mask and erasing from the gradient mask, will try these immediately.

[@seandalt]

Absolute game changers!

[@GDesigners-pg7yz]

Thank you Sean, for the very helpful tutorial.

[@seandalt]

Of course Gurpreet, thank you for watching man!

[@Xitaychin]

Range mask is a great tool, thank you man, i did all the sporty horses by hand >__> but i don't really get the 12 minute thing, i guess you can reach the same by just turning highlights, shadows, bs&ws with the local selection of the full mountain with the further correction of some really light points. Thank you.

[@mariaberezhna3677]

Hi Sean, thank you so much for doing this. I really was struggling to start my photography journey but you make everything so clear and easy yo understand so i feel i am actually about to get our there to hopefully create beautiful images! Looking forward to more videos like this and thank you so much again!!

[@seandalt]

Hey Maria thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my content and it pumps me up to hear that it's helpful for you :)

[@maximilianermert5549]

nice tutorial thank you! how did you frame the picture with the car?

[@Nicolas.Duchemin]

Great tutorial. I'm using those tools quite often but I wish Adobe would use these adjustements as layers like in Photoshop or Capture One. You can rename the layers and easily know which layer is affecting what part of the picture.

[@seandalt]

Agreed, that would be a really great feature. I believe they can do that and still keep the program simple and easy to use. Even just being able to color code the different layers and leave a note would be helpful

[@carlospedals]

Killer tutorials! Keep up the great work!!!

[@LARGUITOW]

Super cool explication, thanksss!

[@MzeeAlii]

The last photograph though. Good stuff, man.

[@seandalt]

Appreciate that bother!

[@johnjayluyao3144]

Wow. Absolutely helpful Lightroom tutorial.

[@seandalt]

Hey man glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here

[@DJHiroProductions]

Hey Sean, thanks for the course. I'm using Sony a6000 as my main photography camera and have invested in several APSC lenses on the go. Started out as a hobby then eventually now I'm becoming a passionate intermediate and sometimes i feel inferior to people who are using full frame sony camera because they are much bigger and better. I dont know why i have this feeling but maybe it's because i'm becoming more and more involve with photography and it makes me feel like having better and more expensive gear will help me take better pictures? Take note that this is not my career nor im getting paid to shoot photos. I'm just a enthusiast and also since i like to collect lens and have different lens for different situations to shoot with it seems like APSC lenses are cheaper and more affordable compare to full frame lenses. Do u think my thoughts of this is silly?

[@seandalt]

Hey Shindouz! Thanks for commenting man, and I totally understand how you're feeling. I used to shoot with the Sony a6300 and was envious of my friends that had the bigger full frame Sony cameras. The APSC cameras are really amazing at capturing photos, and you're right, the lenses are cheaper! You can live your entire life shooting APSC and you'll be able to capture amazing photos with a small portable camera that doesn't cost too much. However, if you have the money to spend and you feel artistically confined by the APSC, a full-frame camera and lenses can be a great investment. Full-frame lenses are more expensive, but they are amazing lenses and they can last for many years. Resale value stays high too. You can get a used full-frame A7III for cheap as well. Amazing camera. If you want to make the jump to full-frame, I recommend buying a used A7III and then maybe a Sigma 24-70mm, 2.8, or one or two primes that you really enjoy shooting with. Sigma and tamron make great Sony lenses that are pretty cheap. I hope this helps man, I know you're in a predicament!

[@leilasmama01]

Thank you! I’m a total noob and this was helpful majorly !! ❤️

[@evanb0611]

Can you use these features in the new version of lightroom (not Lightroom CC)??

[@malikzayn6970]

best ..and add more of those adobe lightrooom mobile tutorials

[@seandalt]

100% man, I’ll drop some soon!

[@m.w.2214]

Thank you for this

[@seandalt]

No worries, thank you for watching!

[@chittaranjandhal55]

Sean is it worth taking the premium in lightroom mobile for only selective adjustment

[@seandalt]

I would say 100% yes. This is a massively important feature!

[@KenchanRGiuce]

Thank you for sharing

[@seandalt]

Thanks for being here man!

[@oneinkstudios]

Fantastic thank you so much

[@seandalt]

Thank you!

[@Potsnpets]

Possibly a dumb question haha why use lightroom classic as opposed to lightroom? I'm trying to get some of the adobe downloads off of my computer for space purposes and speed of my new but slow computer haha. Should I be using both?

[@seandalt]

Great question! And I actually plan to make a video on this topic. Lightroom classic is just a more robust and more “pro” version of Lightroom. It has more features. Plus, it’s older, and most of us photographers have more experience with it because that’s what we started on. I (and most professional photographers), don’t use the newer version of Lightroom at all :)

[@Potsnpets]

@@seandalt hmm good to know... So I can possibly delete lightroom and just use the classic or at least try it to get me used to it. Your 100% correct the Lightroom seems to edit but not all the pro features i want so i send it to affinity photo/ designer or photoshop a lot for edits. ( I came from affinity suite with no adobe experience so quiete the learning curve for me.) One of my struggles is with just family photos, trying to organize and get them onto our shared family amazon photos (streams photos on tv too) and sharing to facebook. Adobe doesnt seem to share well for me .

[@apetitodelalma]

Whaaaaaat you can erase a gradient !!!!! 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭😍😍😍😍

[@seandalt]

I know right?! It's pretty epic!

[@freshboimusik313]

Yes make more Lightroom mobile videos. I only edit on my Ipad

[@Potsnpets]

Your links arent working

[@seandalt]

Hey Michaelene, which links aren’t working for you? They seem to be working for me.

[@Potsnpets]
