Info on kelvins and light bulbs for artificial lighting was helpful to control warmth and coolness of photo. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the information on the light reader app - it was my favorite tip in this video.

[@Tizzitco]

Such a good app! Have you tried it yet?

[@dogdaysdesignshop9512]

Yes - I've tested it based on your tip. Still waiting for my first samples to come in but am excited to use it. Learned so much from this particular video - thank you!

Thanks for the sub, Mark! - L

Great advise! I never hear people talk about white balance. I use a white background outside with natural lighting so I have had that issue that blue tint in the photos.

Great info, but it's all about the technical aspects. I was hoping for aesthetics. I know cameras settings and all that, but I sure need help with stylizing a photo. It may be on your channel, so I'll look now. Thanks!

This is one of several challenges I'm having with getting my etsy and pinterest acts started. Thank you for the great tips!

[@Tizzitco]

You can do it, Maggie! Hope to see you share some of your product photos in our community :) - L

Love this advice! The Color Temperature/White Balance was the most helpful. Checking my bulbs to set my camera today!!!

[@Tizzitco]

I am so glad! You will never shop for lightbulbs in the same way! :-)

I am not a photographer, but from research knew about Kelvins and keeping them between 5K and 6K. HOWEVER...I was not aware that you could AND should match your light source's Kelvin rating to your camera's! Thank you for that valuable tidbit and also info about the apps. There is one thing that I wish you could've done in this video - provide more Dos and Dont's photo examples. Thanks SO much for all your help with your videos! I'm looking at various Etsy KZbin info channels, and I'm getting so much out of yours than from others. Very informative and complete. Keep up the great work!

[@Tizzitco]

Thank you so much Marcia that means a lot and I agree more photo examples would have been a great add-on to the video, I will keep it in mind for future ones :-) Thank you for watching and best of luck with your photos!

[@LisaD_noDitto]

I love the way you pronounce things! never change as you are adorable! great tips as ever, thanks for the white light Kelvin number!

[@Tizzitco]

haha thank you Lisa! I don't think I could change even if I wanted to!

[@karlabrown5256]

Thanks for all of your helpful tips! I struggle with the “cropping” - I make quilted home decor items and it’s difficult to show the entire item!

[@Tizzitco]

You are so welcome, Karla! Every handmade shop has its own quirks :) - L

This is a very useful video! Thank you! What do you think about using an app where you can put the photos of your product into a pattern environment like - a beautiful living room with a frame on the wall where I can "add" my painting... Or an image of a cool shelf where I can "place" my book photo or your mug photo... not sure if it's clear what I mean...

[@lenka-fi]

I found the right wording now while browsing one of the HQ members discussion :D "mockup" was the word I was looking for. I am replying to myself here so I know where to go once I forget that word again :D

[@Tizzitco]

yes, mockups :-) They can be great!! Just make sure that the size of the painting (proportions in the room) is represented correctly

Just saw this now- Thank You - Thank You - Thank You - Thank You - !!!!
