Do you like my videos on image processing? What feature or issue should I cover in my next video? Always looking to make relevant content!! Thanks, Simon.
I really enjoy learning more about the processing of photos in lightroom, and you do a great job! I think I would like to know your view on removing objects in pictures, for instance the content aware fill in photoshop Thanks Simon, your videos are the greatest!!
Simon, I know you've heard this many times, but it's impossible not to be impressed and say it: Your content is simply amazing. Nobody teaches like you. The way you clearly explain the topic while showing practical examples and cutting right to the chase is absolutely brilliant. And on top of that, your content is always RELEVANT. It's just such a pleasure to watch your videos. It really gives me that feeling that I'm actually learning RELEVANT information. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Cheers from SoCal!
Very nicely done walkthrough, M. d'E. It's a fine line between maintaining the integrity of the image and ending up with something we often see - an inadvertent collage effect. Very much a case of 'a little goes a long way'. Cheers from the swamp.
ACDSee Photo Ultimate user here. A lot of the same features are available for those that shy away from LR (at least in 2023 and newer 2024 versions) Same techniques Simon uses here are applicable. Thank you Simon!
Another great video with some very useful tips. I watch all of your videos several times because your approach to post processing is so different from all the others, The videos are never too long and you explain every part of your process carefully. It has definitely changed my approach to post processing. I’ll make use of these tips on my next batch of photos. Thanks Simon, keep them coming!
I was trying to figure out how to do only part of an image to change highlights. You did it again. Thanks for your wonderful videos on Lightroom. So helpful to me!!!
Nice. I hadn't thought about shading different sides of the subject. You should also remind those that criticize "photo manipulation" that it has been done in the film days but in the darkroom.
Never apologize for using post processing … it’s your art! At photo club meetings I often hear photographer’s proudly say “I didn’t do anything to this image it’s right out of the camera” and I think to myself “yes, and it looks like it too”! Even people who have been told they should shoot RAW say this … imagine what Ansel Adams’ images would have looked like if he had not manipulated his images in the darkroom 😢
I'm new to photography and I've been taking photos of barns and silos (the ones you find on a farm). I do this on the silos and it definitely adds more dimension. 👍
Great walkthru on selective masking. Didnt know you can select a brush, set changes and then brush them in. Just assumed you had to select the mast 1st and then apply to whole mask.
These features are great and this video is very "inexperienced-friendly". I would add that, instead of using a brush with feather for making that 3D effect on selected parts of the photo, it is better to choose "Intersect mask with" and choose a linear gradient filter from left to right or vice versa. It gives you more control of the feather effect. You love bonus tips, so here it is: If you hold shift as you deploy the linear gradient, it straightens it up (either vertically or horizontally)!
Simon, I’ve only watched 2 of your videos and you’ve instantly become one of my favourite content creators. Your tutorials are so simple yet useful. Cheers from Calgary!
Another excellent tutorial! I learn so much from you! I see these tools in LR, but it is so helpful to watch someone experienced use them, and you explain things so well.
I like your videos Simon they helps a lot! I'd like to point out a technique I use all the time: when creating a new mask for something like what you call 3D effect, instead of creating that mask from scratch, since I already masked my subjects and/or background, I just use the feature "copy" or "copy and invert", saving me a lot of time since I only need to do the fine tuning on the original mask only. "Copy" will bring the image adjustments over so you'll need to reset them, but "copy and invert" will reset them automatically.
Thank you. Great video. Just a note. Instead of selecting the Owl, twice, when creating the mask, you can just duplicate the selection you already had the first time.
Great video, as always. Recently asked a question on a video from someone else, who's responses were a waste of my time (I don't think they were very knowledgeable about the subject and tried to make me sound stupid versus admiting they didn't know the answer). Made me remember how every time I've asked you a question, I always get a prompt and straightforward answer. Thanks for doing that!
Selective adjustments are the best LR-feature in the past years. You can also automate many tasks, like softening skin or brighten up faces, what saves me tons of time!
I don't use LR but PS has come a long way with masking options, as well. It's a far cry from when I began back in the days of PS7... Always a pleasure seeing how others utilize these tools for I often glean new ideas to try in my post-processing.
I now feel the need to go back and edit older photos. Can't help but wonder if some older ignored photos could be brought to life using these methods. Another very helpful video as usual.
Absolutely love using these features. Such a game changer and time saver as well. Love to use the Select Sky option as well for my landscape work. Another suggestion to speed up your editing would be purchasing a pen drawing tablet. I picked up the X-Pen Deco L and it has helped reduce my editing time as well as improved my editing accuracy - especially when using brushes.
Thank you so much Simon,for your helpful information on Lightroom, I always learn so much from watching your videos. You’re a great teacher. Keep up the good work.
this is my first time watching one of your vids and i cant' believe how you and i have the same idea of processing. I was watching this vid and telling myself what i would do next on the background, the owl and the post and it's scary to see that you did the exact same thing that i was thinking. Makes me feel that I'm doing something right. Thank you for reinforcing me.
Again, another succinct, and to the point, informative video. (I hope that made sense) Definitely looking forward to the next ones!! Thanks for being such an awesome educator. Cheers! 😎👍🏻📸
I have found that if object selection doesn’t nail the entire object, you can click Add>Object and paint that area again. That usually does the trick. Great video, Simon.
Love your style. Your teaching style I totally understand. Thank you for your time. Returning home from a month in Iceland and a BUNCH of photos getting ready to edit!!
@@simon_dentremont thank you. Question please, I’ve had a Wacom tablet for years and I’m a Mac guy. Wacom won’t firmware upgrade the pad anymore. What are the pros using these days? I live on an island in southeast alaska and very isolated. Can really go to stores and ask. Any recommendations? Blessings
Selective masks were a GAME CHANGER for me, especially as I try to avoid photoshop unless I really need it. And the presets they have that preset selective adjustments like detailed hair, textured clothes, teeth whitening. It’s amazing
I noticed while watching this video that there is another way (which I prefer) to do one thing. instead of subtracting a part of a mask, we can by pressing the Option/Alt choose where to apply the mask and then use the tool that fits what we need Cheers
I love so many of your videos but I think I could actually make a suggestion for once. While making your mask I notice when you were making certain ones a second time, you did them manually. Where in my mind I would have just duplicated the owl mask and the post mask I already had, rather than having to make them again to speed up my workflow. Thanks for the wonderful video as usual! I’m sure you did this specifically for learning purposes in the video though anyway and probably would just duplicate in your normal workflow. Can’t wait for the next video!!
I run a Facebook group Ohio Photography definitely shared it there. Love your vids very informative. I knew about these masks and almost skipped this vid. Glad I didn’t still learned a lot 🙏
Thx for the video - I just discovered this about a week ago when I updated my Lightroom to Classic, using the same version you are on. One thing that I found helpful is that when you are done with the mask, make sure you hit the "Close" button so that you can make universal changes if you desire. If you still have the mask selected, you will try to make changes to the entire photo but you'll have the mask still selected. Hitting that close button is important! :^) Anyway, love your videos - so informative and easy to follow. And your work is wonderful!
Another well presented video Simon, apart from being a first class photographer your second vocation has got to be teaching as you put things across in a very easily understandable manner. Look forward to your tutorials and just watching the opening of your youtube videos make me smile,
This is an excellent tutorial! Thank you for this step-by-step editing process. I don’t do a ton of bird photography, by this is certainly a game changer for when I do. Merci beaucoup!!
Do you like my videos on image processing? What feature or issue should I cover in my next video? Always looking to make relevant content!! Thanks, Simon.
I love it
Would be interesting to hear your take on colours: to adjust or not to adjust in the context of wildlife photography!
Would you please discuss "Blend If"? Great way to increase 3D effect in images. Thank you.
I really enjoy learning more about the processing of photos in lightroom, and you do a great job!
I think I would like to know your view on removing objects in pictures, for instance the content aware fill in photoshop
Thanks Simon, your videos are the greatest!!
Color grading :)
You know its gonna be a great day when you see that Simon d'Entremont has posted a new video!
Haha too kind.
Absolutely!!!
I've gotten to the point where i like the video before i even start watching it

In my opinion what makes Simon so good is he gets right to the point with no 'added fluff' and comes over as such a nice guy.
I just want to say thank you for being there for all beginner, intermediate and advanced photographers out there. You
No worries!

Glad to find a teacher here in YT. One we can say that really helps newbies and pro alike.
honestly this change is really a game changer, instead of drawing in everything it saves so much time

Hello from Winnipeg. I’m slowly getting into photography, and really appreciate your videos, and presentation style. Excellent educator. Merci!
As usual, tutorials with legitimate and objective explanations.Without words wasting. Thank you Simon!
Glad you like them!
This just saved me hours. I had one part of the image that was too bright and another that was too dark. I fixed it in minutes.
This kind of stuff keeps me coming back Simon! Thanks so much. I just added this to my teenage daughter’s MUST WATCH list.

This cleared up all my questions on LR selective editing . Thanks...also a great owl pic made so much better w some smart adjustments
Thank you, I learn something new every time I watch your clips.
Glad to help
Great walkthru on selective masking. Didnt know you can select a brush, set changes and then brush them in. Just assumed you had to select the mast 1st and then apply to whole mask.
I learned a lot more from this video than just a new Lightroom feature!
