Great tutorial! You are such an incredible talent, thank you for sharing your gift of photography. I have purchased all of your courses and they have made such a tremendous impact on my own photography.
An easier way to handle the gradient filter with the sky is to first select the sky, and then use the intersect function to add the gradient or whatever other tool. That will limit the tool to just the sky. So instead of going small and then big, do the opposite. Same results but it's a bit easier. Love your overall look. I learned most of my post processing from your videos. Thank you so much.
@@SergeRamelliPhotography Or, crazy idea here, you could just use "Select Sky" to just select the sky without the the unnecessary intersection steps. By itself, it does exactly what you wanted - selecting the sky, leaving everything else alone.
Serge, hello, did you shoot that photo in brackets? And THANK YOU! You are one of the first TH-cam photographers I followed when I decided to go full time real estate. Your tips have really helped me develop my own style. It has lead me to shoot some celebrity homes and even last night I had the opportunity to do a paid job, by drone, of the plaza next to Walt Disney Music Hall and the Grand Park leading to City Hall. I am a huge fan of dodge and burning, in fact I have used a method I learned from you using the luminance masking you taught a few years back. It's great seeing how it has evolved. Btw, if ever in the Los Angeles or OC area and are interested in a collaboration, I'd certainly welcome the opportunity. But either way, thank you for the tips, I find it really valuable.
Great tutorial on dodge and burn ! Love the fact that brushes, linear gradients and radial gradients are used for ' local ' dodge and burn and not global through curves.
High contrasted area masks can be refined subtracting luminosity mask: quite simple here, you click subtract, then luminosity, and then you take a sample of the dark area of the building, with the proof pipe. You can adjust the subtraction further.
Another great video Serge, I have been doing landscape photography for 15 years and have followed your videos for a long time, I always learn new tricks from you so thank you very much for all your hard effort with your videos.
Love your content. I learned a ton watching your Dodge & Burn tutorial. Would love to see a list of the key combinations you use throughout the video as I could not keep up with my notes - LOL. Perhaps I could learn to write faster? Thank you Mr. Ramelli.
Great and entertaining tutorial! I was hesitant when I saw it was almost a half hour! But I laid down, watched, and pet my cat while my kids are napping/watching tv! Went by fast! Thanks!!
Brilliant tutorial. As much as I have always vaguely understood what I wanted, I never felt quite able to get there as it seemed like it should be a complex task but with this, you have simplified that process and explained it superbly. Thank you! 🙂
You are welcome and thank you for your comment! Is there anything else in particular that you would like to learn on photography? I will make a video about it :)
Amazing video! It's probably not so easy on a Mac, but if you upgrade your RAM you'll have a much smoother Lightroom experience. Lightroom is VERY taxing on RAM.
new to lightroom, and i’ve always loved this style of photography. so glad i’ve finally come across a tutorial on this, and you explained it so well while keeping it engaging. outstanding video, thank you so much!
Hi Serge. I really loved your video and would like to read your book, but I can't seem to find the link. I see the one to download the files, but no book. Take care.
I think it takes pratice you should watch the free courses I did and get my lightroom for free link under the video you get it once you put in your email
ThankYou !!!!!! I recently am having eye surgery and can see quite well for the first time in years (got really bad in last 8 months) I am going to start using PS & LR for the first time (when I still could see about 1 yr ago I was using a free editing program but it only did global changes) The thing about PS & LR is the very most basic things (HOW TO DO LAYERS ETC) Do You have a very First Time User Video?) ThankYou Again :) :)
Serge, you are just amazing. I have been followinf you for a while as you possibly know, but you manage again and again to surprise me - thanks a lot for this amazing tutorial 😊
Your work reminds me so much of Thomas Kinkade, often referred to as the "Master of Light". You are indeed a master in your own unique style of painting light with a digital brush. Thanks for your generous gift of teaching those of us aspiring to be artists.
Exactly, Thomas Kindade, the shlock master of Hallmark Xmas card light. Perhaps the worst artist in American history, stores in malls, just an insult to the intelligence. You nailed it!
Salut Serge!, Superbe vidéo as usual! C'est grâce à vous que j'ai appris la photo et LR il y'a plusieurs années de ça.. et je continue encore et encore à me régaler de vos tutos! Un grand merci pour la transmission de votre passion et de vos connaissances!
Bien fait Serge I enjoy both your enthusiasm and your clear instructional techniques. You do an excellent job of talking through your thought process and what you are actually doing. Thank you. Minor thing in the big world but could not find a link for the Natural Drama book? Merci bien.
Thank you for the kind words. Sorry for the confusion. You can get a free copy of the book if you watch the master class.here event.webinarjam.com/register/311/7471ot8q
Fantastic video!! When it comes to the sky I find it easier to mask by selecting the Sky, then clicking the three dots next to the name of the mask, and then clicking Intersect Mask With "Linear Gradient". Intersecting will continue to refine and create masks within masks. So in this case the gradient only impacts the preselected sky. Anyway, this was a great tutorial and taught me many things. Cheers!
Serge I've watched the presentation for your raw files and I have to tell you a little "secret". I am from Tuscany; Isola d'Elba to be exact. I felt like being home! Thank you Serge!!!
I laugh when I see people posting SOOC (straight out of camera) jpegs - they are missing so much! Every picture needs some editing. Another great video - thank you!
Great video. I'm getting the Serge Ramelli Signature Presets + Landscape Masterclass + Preset Training but I can't find the link to the book you talked about on this video.
for some reason I don't understand if I hold down the option key, nothing changes, well the edit still happens but I don't see the black/while oberlay.
@@SergeRamelliPhotography thanks Serge I will do that. I have just tried some of your tips from this video on my recent edited photos and Im now a fan of your workflow, I think I need to revisit a lot of back catalogue! I particularly like the exposure settings using both black and white/Alt key to add dynamic range.
Great tutorial! You are such an incredible talent, thank you for sharing your gift of photography. I have purchased all of your courses and they have made such a tremendous impact on my own photography.
Merci thanks so much Kelley!

wow I learned something I never used the intersect feature great tip tks for sharing I will be using it in my next videos. Tks Brian!

For what it's worth, it doesn't matter whether you do the linear gradient or the sky first.
@@TheZagnut69 no, because the entire point is to make a specific section of the sky, in this case the top of it darker
Brilliant. Photoshop vs Lightroom ... A great case for Lightroom. Simple and easy to follow. You never stop learning.
yes Love lightroom
I love that you kept your sky mess up in. I really appreciated that small "I'm still human" detail

Sharp, very informative and of course, amusing. Why wouldn't you watch 🧐 Well done !
thanks a lot happy you watched!
Amazing edit- need to watch it a few times to understand how everything is done. Thank you for posting this tutorial
Your humor is great. Your teaching is the perfect speed. Thank you.
great tutorial...thank you for making the files available without a bunch of hassle. I am subscribed and am getting a lot out of these.

Same here - can't see it!
Thank you for this! I learned so much in the first 10 minutes, bravo! You have a new sub!
You are welcome Mickey and thanks for your comment! Is there anything else on retouching in particular that you would like to learn?
that was fantastic , I'm new to lightroom and your 5 steps make it seem so easy! a powerful little tutorial! Bravo thank you so much !

Cool Video well explained and easy to follow.
Hi Serge. I really loved your video and would like to read your book, but I can't seem to find the link. I see the one to download the files, but no book. Take care.
