Btw if you want to make a mask to the entire foreground what you can also to is to - create a mask around the entire sky, using the ai mask > invert the mask > smile because it was so simple :)

[@benfreig3932]

That's exactly what i was about to write zown to you !!! 😎

[@explorewithluke]

Yes but the gradient towards the mountain I think was a nice touch for this one

[@WizardVal]

@@explorewithlukeyou firstly create the gradient mask then exclude sky - Simpal!😂

[@cambarnardphoto]

This is such a valuable tutorial. So many photographers don’t realize how powerful masks can be in Lightroom. I LOVED how you used a radial to mimic sunlight. I usually do this in my photographs, but I drag the exposure up too much, I didnt realize that using dehaze makes it look so much softer and “glow”. Thank you man!!

[@thaticelandicguy]

I’m glad that you think so it really make me happy and comments like these makes all this time and effort worth it ❤️ thanks again for watching and lmk if I can help you any further ☺️

[@StevenDavisPhoto]

for the mountain selection, u could just do a sky mask and invert.

[@malachiminks]

Yo love your positivity in all your videos! All your tips have been so helpful!!

[@beeandh]

Thank you so much for the tip 🙏🏻

[@vero1197]

Couple of days ago I discovered you channel, I watched two of yours Lightroom Tutorials and learned so many things. Thanks for all the tricks and explanations, I can't wait to watch more of it and learn!!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thank you means a lot ☺️

[@andyjgill5750]

Love your knowledge and insight, got stagnant with my processing. Makes me excited to breathe fresh ideas into my work. Thank you 🙏

[@danh7397]

You have inspired me to take more time with my editing and achieve more defined goals with it! thank you dude!

[@Brett.Williams365]

Thank you very much. I am just getting started in Lightroom to edit my drone photos.

[@SimplyDingo]

It makes me really happy to see your videos. I always learn a bit more and try out more things. ❤

[@terrysparkshiking]

I'm going to use this technique with my next batch of editing to see how I can best use this in my workflow. Thank you.

[@vistalens-artistry]

you just have a new subscriber! I am new in photography, and I really need to understand the editing cause is a lot. and you explain very well. thank you!

[@keithjenson183]

Thank you for the tips! I am new to your channel and thoroughly enjoy your content.

[@rzrdaze]

At 1st I had a little difficulty understanding you accent. But after watching a few videos from you I think you offer some really great insights and i'm adjusting. LOL. Good job my guy.

[@BennSides]

I’m a beginner and im glad I found your channel. Sub !

[@SonicEchoVoid]

What is that cover on your monitor?

[@ramonrios4716]

Excelleeeennntt...!!! Love a good old back to basics photography painting process . Would be nice to do same effects in video postpo with premiere ma man ..!!! Cheeeerrrssss...!!!👍

Back to the dodge and burn baby

[@Liamslost]

2024 will be the year I go full time as a photographer and you, sir, are my inspiration. Keep it coming and thank you ✌🏻

[@thaticelandicguy]

You got this ☺️ lmk if I can help you brother!

[@KenAppledorn]

Makes you wonder how many photos are really what the eye saw at that moment?

[@bradknowles846]

I mean, not really. Most of these edits are making the photo look more like what the eye saw in the moment. Cameras don't have nearly the dynamic range that the human eye does. If you want a camera that gets close to the human eye it will cost north of 100k

[@IntrovertAmateur]

I know all the tools you mentioned in this one, but the part regarding mask and color tempature just blew my mind 🤯 Such an amazing idea to implement and play with the cold / wam colors. Have to apply this on my next photos, then the kids allow it :D That being said, on my normal daily images I edit them only slightly like you described the LR user in the beginning :D Thanks for sharing my friend :)

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thanks for watching my friend I appreciate that ☺️ and yea mask is like 98% of my editing haha

[@annnoyez]

Thank you for the explanation... ❤

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thank you so much for watching ☺️❤️

[@tombrook32]

Ive found that as soon as i start adding masks, especially with brush, lightroom slows right down so i have to leave them until the end. I'm using a 32gb(RAM) MacBook Pro too.

[@chandrahaasvemula7251]

Where can i get those original photo files that you edited ?

[@CunoKPhotography]

Nice video✌🏻 Trying to learn my self how to use lightroom so these videos are always nice. Question though: Do you turn your screen brightness to max when editing? cheers

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thank you so much ☺️ yea I usually have it at max

[@CunoKPhotography]

@@thaticelandicguy cool thanks😁

[@elviule]

Hey! This was INSANE to watch, I am really thankful for the content and your vibe is really kind and nice :) I wanted to ask something maybe a bit dumb but I think it would be interesting for you to explore. I have my RAW archives from my Nikon D7200 (soon enough from my Sony A7CII already on its way!) so everything is supereasy to edit in LR. But how could we enhance a little bit all these photos that are "bad JPGs" that friends send us when we are having a day out or something? What is the "technical" reason for it to be that hard? I would love your point of view on this, hope it makes sense for maybe a good video :) Anyway, sending heaps of love your way

[@onthel817]

Thank you so much🎉

[@thaticelandicguy]

You’re welcome 😊

[@brandonabbott69]

Thanks u for this 👍🏾

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@Thifiell]

what do you think, are modern phones (pixel 8 pro for instance) are worse or ok (or even better) than cameras? is it possible to make good photo with phone? how bad is it, what are the disadvantages? I see color grading even in lightroom mobile

[@thaticelandicguy]

Ofc phones are great today, many of the photos I share are phone photos it's totally fine! :) But a good camera is better imo and gives you more flexibility

You help me realize, I have no hope at figuring this out 😂😂😂. I've got other talents

[@AndreasLiljegren]

The key is that the sunset must match the beard. The rest is secondary.❤

[@thaticelandicguy]

lol 😂 this comment had me laughing out loud haha thank you for that

[@AndreasLiljegren]

[@Interlincinternatural]

Nice intresting video.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thank you very much!

[@charlesulbig2484]

Can't you just use the Sky mask, then invert it? Instead of Linear Gradient + Brush

[@johnclay7644]

informative ALR video

[@thaticelandicguy]

🙏🏻

I like the original look better. That’s usually the case with most of the KZbin edit videos.

[@jimpool6096]

Very good video. Would you mind talking a bit slower to keep up with your actions.

[@benjaminwesercreative]

you can change the youtube playback speed yourself from the comfort of your home

"This simple technique"

[@TuomoTanskanen]

So masks and presets? Gotcha.

[@thaticelandicguy]

I see where you’re coming from, and sure maybe it’s that basic. But what I was trying to convey was how I use masks to shape light and guide viewers to the subject within my photos. Hope it made some sense

[@thaticelandicguy]

And also to shape the light and get that right first before working on the tones. That’s what I usually do atm ☺️

[@TuomoTanskanen]

Thanks for the reply! I oversimplified, but I was questioning if you really get ahead of most by doing what seems to be exactly what every non-beginner LR user already does.

[@thaticelandicguy]

@@TuomoTanskanen ah ok it’s my choice of title then, well you might be right that it’s not to fitting and might have e to change it - ideas? ☺️

[@TuomoTanskanen]

Naming things one of the hardest things in life. At this point, most of the videos from big(ger) creators are in their third title and thumbnail already.
