How would YOU edit THIS Raw Photo?

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

It seems KZbin only allows some people to post links in the comments, some comments with links might get deleted by KZbin... I'm sorry about that, i can't change this😢

Hi Christian, Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and skill in editing landscape photos. I really learn a lot from you. I also download the RAW file; do my own edit (in Camera Raw), and compare with your results - of course, it varies a lot. 😀

Hi Christian. I think the idea of getting your viewers to edit one of your photos is a fantastic way to expand all of our editing "horizons". As for sharing the results, perhaps the simplest way would be a particular hashtag on Instagram and ask people to upload and tag their edited photos there. I know IG isn't the ideal viewing experience, but it's simple. Just a thought. Thanks for all the great vids.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Thanks for the comment! I'm planning a different video where I include viewers edits which will be much easier to share and compare. I will start giving out the raw file for that video sometime in august I think and hopefully we get a lot of people to participate! :-)

Bellissimo sviluppo del file raw...penso che di meglio non si possa fare...Complimenti!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hello Christian, I really wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge about LIGHTROOM. I learned more from your tutorials than from hours of training. Thank you very much again. Alain, from FRANCE.

Thank you for the kind comment, very happy you like the content!

[@aerozg]

Nice, thank you for the Photoshop part. I am pretty comfortable with Lightroom, but trying to use Photoshop more often and i love to learn new techniques. Thank you for sharing!

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

I'm happy you liked that part, thanks for the comment!

[@stanleyjacobson2617]

I used Google Drive and included the link in my comment. It too was deleted. This was a great idea Christian and hope there is a way to get it sorted. Thank you for your videos. I find them very helpful.

[@geost77]

I did the same with GDrive and same result - comment removed from YT. too bad we can't share.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Im very sad to hear that, but I'm already planning doing another video where I include the images you guys edit directly. Just need to work out how exactly I will be doing that

[@samelogio7441]

Nicely done. Always something to learn from your videos.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Thank you!

Hello Christian, I really enjoy watching your videos, and as an experienced photographer with quite decent skills in image editing, I am surprised at what you can bring out of photos using only Lightroom. Regarding this particular image, you did enhance the sky and improve the lighting mood, but the picture didn't become "more interesting" as a result. It became more harmonious and looks better, but it didn't become more interesting; the composition didn't improve, and the subject isn't more impressive than before. I'm surprised when you say that you spent hours developing this image and choosing the right settings. I am very impressed by many of your photos, but this one isn't among them, and it wouldn't make it into my portfolio. I wouldn't have spent much time on this picture for that reason. The foreground is not optimal and somewhat boring, and unfortunately, the sky alone can't make up for that. I have completely different photos that I can't manage to edit properly, despite having nine bracketed shots against the sun, to show even a fraction of what I saw on location. I've worked on the photo repeatedly over months and eventually gave up because I couldn't represent the scene as I experienced it in person. Thanks for your videos and best regards.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Hey ,thanks for commenting! For me I really like this image composition wise and I love the light, I jsut wasnt happy with the foreground of the original raw. I do like the finished image, but of course there are different opinions when it comes to styles like that, so I can understand if there are people who dont like this version for those reaseons!

[@galanonim8137]

@@ThePhlogPhotography I completely agree with you. The composition itself isn't bad and the sky is also great. The solitary tree starting to glow in the backlight is a nice touch. With a better foreground, it could have been an absolutely brilliant photo. I noticed in your photo gallery that you have many such photos of fields with beautiful ears of grain in the foreground. Those pictures are powerful. However, for training purposes, especially for less experienced photographers, this photo is a good playground. Grüße aus der Hauptstadt ;)

[@kuba000wira000]

Hey, two versions, with and without glow. Let me know if you like any of them ;) drive.google.com/drive/folders/1I8xZyWqIyuWut6di50SejFW0CaNxHo7E?usp=sharing

[@Настя-т8н8ф]

I like both, but pic with glow a liitle bit better in my opinion Good job!!🔥

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Hey, thanks for posting you versions! I love the one without the glow, really like the colors! The glow effect on the second one is quite heavy on the tree which makes it less visible, masking out the glow around that tree would work great I think

for me the -pl works better than -pl2. very vice

Christian, I am very sorry, I tried to added a link with the edited photo to my old comment that you replied, I used google photo link to send the link, but the whole comment was deleted by KZbin. I am not sure how to use Drive to send the link because it requires some converters, which I am very confused. I have no idea what to do.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

It seems KZbin doesnt like people posting links in the comments.. I'm really sorry about that :( I need to figure out how toshare everyones photo version for future videos :/

@@ThePhlogPhotography You could provide a link to a Google Drive folder that you make and everyone can upload to that folder with their name as the file name for the photo?

Das erste Mal, dass ich meine, du hast es übertrieben, bzw. verschlimmbessert. Mir gefiel es am besten kurz vor Photoshop.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Das ist völlig legitim, Geschmäcker sind dann doch öfters auch mal verschieden und dieses Bild ist schon stark bearbeitet worden! :-)
