Raids my village, steals my gold, teaches me how to use Lightroom perfectly. My favorite type of viking!

[@thaticelandicguy]

looool hahahah thank you for making me laugh 😝

[@perfectfutures]

Incredible before and after here. I’ve never imagined using so many detailed, subtle edits, especially the multiple gradient filters applied. Thanks a bunch for such an entertaining deep dive!

[@lucam7790]

I really like your editing style and this is kind of effect I'm aiming to achieve with my edits. I don't think I've ever found a step-by-step guide so well explained like this one. Great job 👍

[@TheStudio_70]

I have to honestly thank you. I bought your Inspired By Stockholm presets and tossed them on some photos that I was unsure about and WOW!!! Completely made me see my work in a whole different way. Inspired me to enjoy editing again. thank you my friend and keep up the amazing work!!

[@thaticelandicguy]

ALL MUSIC COMES FROM ARTLIST (here you can get two extra months) - bit.ly/2DS2LRK☺

[@kemelinux]

Instead of using a brush to mask your gradient filter you can use a luminance mask to only affect the lighter parts of your image… this is instant and gives a very clean result.

[@opx4real]

I still think its too hard to get a clean result with luminance masks on trees and complex edges without halos. Gradient is 1000% technically unnatural but does not appear so to the eye....in my uneducated opinion* That being said, it is super choppy in this video, for sure.

[@niceblue7296]

@Rudra Tyagi Why

[@timmyhackings5181]

@Sharishth Tyagi photoshop I'd good for retouching and in depth editing lightroom is good for quick and good editing

[@Xeallous]

Can you do the opposite too? Beginner here; I have a photo with many dark subjects and only one fully white one, so I had to underexpose in order not to lose detail in the white subject.

[@games528]

@@timmyhackings5181 The camera raw filter in photoshop can do everything that is shown in this video and just as easily.

[@joaquinfilms]

So helpful, thank you! Just watching you edit how you edit gives me so many tips and pointers for small things like holding ‘alt’ with certain sliders and what not. Extremely insightful and appreciate this video🔥🤙🏽

[@Xirpzy]

I have 2 folders for my image files. One folder where I sort the raw files in chronological order based on date + identifying number (this can be whatever and easily setup when downloaded from camera). And a separate folder for edited images, one folder for raw edits and one for exported PNGs. The edited images have the same name as the original so its easy to find them if I mess up. If I save multiple versions I just add a _2, _3 etc to the name. Works great for me.

[@AAndrin]

So far the best tutorial i've seen. Thanks a lot appreciate it!

[@thaticelandicguy]

I decided to provide you guys with the RAW file, let me know if you were able to download it :)

[@quicktorials1368]

Yep worked, thx!

[@kailashkidd2362]

How can I find the link to download ?

[@baextremechase-weatherenth6219]

Thank you for providing your raw photo so that we could work a long with you. Could I ask you how to make your image soft like you mention at the end. I could not find the link.. Love the tutorial. Thank you. I am a photoshop girl, but wanted to get to know the ins and outs of LR.

[@frankanzalone744]

Really enjoyed that. I am new to lightroom . I have trouble understanding you sometimes which actually makes me pay close attention. I picked up a lot from this tutorial, Thanks

[@rypdx]

dude you're awesome! i love that you actually showed us and explained what you were doing. i couldn't find anyone else that made it this simple, also straight to the point !

thank you for this! i don't edit photos often because i'm not a photographer so i'm definitely learning at a novice level, but you make it more approachable! cheers!

[@getdownkid]

Learning about the various functionality and use of the ALT button in different modes kind of blew my mind. Great video!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Yea its a great little function! 😄

[@mariosnicolaou8770]

What an excellent video!! I learned heaps, actually playing you at 0.75 speed for the bits I found tricky. Will definitely be watching your other videos. For the record, in Australia, we usually refer to "lightning clouds" as "storm clouds". Thank you :)

[@dylankrejci9965]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I recently got into photo editing after a trip to Chicago. Really looking forward to diving into this new hobby. This definitely helped my understanding of light and color adjustments, and introduced me to the idea of masking and gradient edits. Lovely stuff! A related question: do you think Lightroom is worth paying $10 per month for, or is the free version sufficient?
