  • Managing color has always been hard for me... in this video we do an edit walkthrough of an image that is all about the color relationship between the Warm and the Cold tones in the image.

    Rapidly becoming my favourite photography TH-cam channel. I really like the teaching style - oriented to a goal but explaining the steps needed to get there.

    I will admit it to everyone, watching your TH-cam channel is exceptionally beneficial to my lack of knowledge with post processing. I have a system where i will watch once and then watch again stating and stopping to write down what I feel are going to be helpful. You have made the post processing aspect of photography much more enjoyable and I thank you for that.

  • @edshanahan
    @edshanahan ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nick, once again you have shown what separates you from most photographers. You are an artist who begins with the end in mind, better than most. You pre-visualize your shots thinking how they might look after some PS magic before you press the shutter button. Well done and thank you!

    Man, Nick glad you have the patience to work so long on a single image, the more I look at it it starts looking more like a painting than a photograph. Personally I like the composition and the angle how you shot the image. Thor's well in Southern Oregon is a well photographed location and many images where taken from a high viewpoint, so this lower viewpoint is very interesting. I hope you can print it and is enjoyed being looked at more often. It is definitely a dreaming kind of a landscape.

    Around the 23-minute mark, when you said, "I'm just going to do one more layer here," I instantly said, "Of course you are!" and laughed and laughed... Very nice video. I wish I had the brain to see and edit the way you do. So patient and detailed.

    Great tutorial Nick, The subject manner really came at good time for me, struggling with a desert image from the Southwest.

  • @MrTwogiantscoops
    @MrTwogiantscoops ปีที่แล้ว

    This was an excellent tutorial not just concentrating on colour balance but the workflow for seascapes in general…
    I remember 10 years ago using multiple images from the same set creating a final balanced and dramatic image. Your video is on another level with subtle tweaks which overall can really bring a raw file to life.
    I must admit I still use Nik Color Efex4 choosing tonal contrast for the important parts of the image. It’s just a matter of preference. Your luminosity masks to add the the dreamy highlights works a treat.
    Thank you.
    All the best from Devon, UK

    And…on the special “Nick” Orton effect …using the Gradient Tool when needed for back of image. Thank you again!❤❤

  • @Wklambert
    @Wklambert ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome work Nick!! I have a few seascape-type shots that could benefit from this method. I am finding with wave action, it seems relatively common to get several frames where one part of the image is a lot more compelling than others. Bringing those elements in, in PS would be a game changer.
    Additionally, I purchased a Wacom tablet after watching what you're capable of with yours, and after Mr. Heaton raved about his. I respect both of you a lot, and really admire both of your works... One question I do have... Do you have any videos (or could you make an updated one) on how you have your tablet set up? I need some help there. I think once I get it set up completely, my workflow would be a LOT better. A couple things I am particularly interested in, is the positioning. Is it relative? Maybe I just need to get used to using the tablet, lol. Thanks again Nick, for all you do!!!

  • @zackstanton4654
    @zackstanton4654 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good stuff, Nick. In LR you can match your exposures up equally by selecting a group of images with the the target exposure image selected and go to settings>match total exposures. I find it handy sometimes for blending images

    • @NickPage

  • @DobromirManchev
    @DobromirManchev ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice edit!
    Still amazed by the time you spend on a single shot...
    Just a thing - shouldn't the foreground water kinda "reflect" the pink/warmth in the clouds that you added ? Maybe it's too far away from one another, but looking at the final edit it "feels like" the pink in the sky is so vibrant and bright that the water should be reflecting it a bit, rather than being cold-ish.

  • @dmwsvideo1
    @dmwsvideo1 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent video Nick, apologies if this has been asked before, I notice that you are using a tablet to perform your edits. What device do you recommend for a newbie starting to use Photoshop? Thanks in advance👍

  • @bradfordsmith6055
    @bradfordsmith6055 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Nick; this was a very nice teaching tutorial. In the Orton effect section of the video, you mentioned matching the blur radius to the “pixel radius” of the camera. I know how to calculate the pixel size of the camera by dividing the linear pixels, say along the width of the image, by the physical width of the sensor, but how do you calculate the pixel “radius” of the camera?

    • @NickPage
      @NickPage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It doesn't need to be exact, really it just to personal taste, this image was taken on a Sony A7r iv... which is 62mp... so typically I use a pixel radius of 45-65... Images with my R5 I usually go between 35-55... No exact science here just personal taste. The smaller the pixel radius, the more subtle the effect

      Take a video or photo with your phone. If it matches what you see, (minus the water movement) your good to go.
