Trust me there is something that separates you from others. They might try showing too many techniques, showcase "advanced" ways of improving photos in Lightroom but somehow when I watch those videos I lose connection with where we started in the first place. The way you deliver your content is a binding force in itself. Thank you for everything you have taught me and I am sure, to many more.
Absolutely true. Simon has a talent for focusing on a few basic concepts and explaining them clearly. You walk away with something you can immediately use.
I second this completely!
100% agree, I can’t get enough of Simon’s videos, I learn something new every time I watch one ❤️🙏
That's exactly what I've been trying to figure out too. What on earth does he do differently!
@@bhaaratjoshi Probably the intent of his videos is the game changing factor. When we watch these videos the only thing that struck our brains is that he wants to teach. No attempt at imposing that his style is the only one that matters.
You are the opposite of a gatekeeper! Massive respect for you for how much you help us aspiring photographers!
100 hundred percent agree!
gate destroyer 💯
Simon, I can't overstate how well your communication resonates with the casual photographer. Not only do you get straight to the point and actually demonstrate your techniques, leaving virtually no uncertainties unaccounted for, but you clearly have decades of wisdom that cannot be emulated with Google.
Some real gems in this one. Simon is easily one of the best presenters I've ever seen. With such skills in communication, I wonder if he has a side gig in politics.
This is honestly my favorite photography channel on TH-cam. No beating around the bush, beginner friendly, and very, very helpful. Thank you Simon.
Best Teacher ever ! Thank you Simon 🙌
My pleasure!
I think you might be the best teacher on TH-cam. Thank you for your generosity.
You're very welcome!
As an amateur photographer who’s been using Lightroom CC for the last few years, I’d heard people make vague mention of features in Lightroom Classic which CC didn’t have. This is the first time I’ve seen one spelled out, and in such a clear and informative way. Love your videos, Simon.
I honestly can not believe how generous you are with this information. I knew these edits were possible, but I thought they were performed by only the most tech savvy of photoshop geniuses. Thank you SO MUCH for breaking everything down so easily. With your videos, I feel myself slowly becoming the photographer Im capable of being ❤
This is outstanding, Simon. You’re a fabulous teacher.
VERY few content presenters provide this level of quality instruction and tips. I've been shooting for many years and I literally learn something new and useful from EVERY one of your vids. You deserve all the success you're seeing here, on the precipice of 500k subs 🥳 Congrats and THANK YOU! 📷
After many yrs you hadn’t figured out masks? OK…
Simon, I've been doing photography professionally for 12 years now, and you have helped me more in the last year alone than anyone else has my entire journey. You're an amazing teacher, please keep going! I've learned so much from you!
Thanks for this clear lightroom tip, the feeling you get when the room lights up because you learned something new is unbeatable.
Simon……I’ve been watching your subscriber count going up almost daily…and with good reason…by far THE best photography tutor on the internet…..Hell…..ANYWHERE! Absolutely outstanding teaching technique, you come away feeling like you have found the holy grail, every time you release a video…..a masterclass every single one…..
As a fresh photography student your videos are immensely helpful and you always manage to explain things in a clear and concise way, thank you! So many things I was confused about prior to watching some of your videos make much more sense now. 🙏🏻
Great tips. One thing I used to do too much in order to make the subject stand out more would be to boost clarity, vibrance, saturation etc on the subject. This can work, but it can leave the subject looking a bit fake or odd. If I am already happy with how the subject looks, sometimes it’s its better to select the background, remember the sliders move both ways and reduce the clarity, dehaze, saturation etc instead. It has the same effect of making the subject pop out more, but keeps the subject looking more natural. Both ways or a blend of both ways can work. Whichever suits the scene.
Simon, you have singlehandedly made such an impact on my journey as a photographer. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it is to have such a phenomenal mentor out there to arm us with these tools to create beautiful art. You are truly doing the world a great service. Thank you so much!!!!!!
You have a communication style that is unmatched on YT. I learn something new about techniques every video you drop and can already think of several images that need some more work based on what I just watched. Thank you Simon.
Awesome! Thank you!
Another terrific video! Always focusing on the basics, teaching how to edit with taste, thinking first on what, and then on why and how, to get natural-looking photos that greatly improve the original raws. Simon d'Entremont photos look superb but never overedited. After watching his videos you have really grabbed the purpose and inner working of some esential tool.
I worked for over 40 years as a press photographer and have worked with Photoshop, starting with version 3.0, and yet my skill level is very basic. This video is a big help because for all my working years we were only allowed to dodge and burn and do some spotting. Anything else was a firing offense. In retirement I'm trying my hand doing some bird photography and videos like this are a big help. Much thanks.
Simon d’Entremont is like a master magician who cheerfully discloses the secrets of his guild to the entire world. I just hope his fellow pros don’t resent him as much as the rest of us appreciate him!
This is so awesome and depressing at the same time.
No professional picture is what you are ever able to see for real out there.
I need to start investing in editing skills. Thanks for this short example. Best I've seen in years.
Well done! Right to the point without the self-promotion.
I don't comment often, but you really do a great job and I appreciate your efforts. You share real-world, useful information in a clear, concise and friendly way. As a relative novice, I've learned a lot from your videos. Great job.
So nice of you
I have been using Lightroom for 6+ years and you just taught me about intersecting masks... This is a huge game changer! You are the best Simon!
Thanks for the intersect mask tip. I never was sure how that worked.
Awesome tips here. Having a strong understanding of when to use global and when to separate with masks has helped me immensely in my short time as a photographer.
Have fun everyone!
Mr. d'Entremont.... You sir ONE of A KIND! Mil Gracias.
This is one of those videos that is going to be a game changer in how I edit my photos. Thanks so much for sharing with the up and comers.
I never comment on videos but I felt this one deserves it. Put simply after one of your videos I just seem to get it whereas with others I end up left confused! Thank you so much!
This video drastically improved the quality of my photos . Thank you for teaching such good technique.
Great to hear!
I agree with the other commentaters . I have watched a lot of Lightroom tutorials. They are usually all over the place. Jumping all over the place. Yours was very specific and simply explained. KISS principle! Thanks. You're a good teacher. 👍
Thanks for sharing!
This is actually the best video about these techniques i found on youtube. Shout out to you, because as a beginner I understood what you talkeb about during the whole video. In other videos i often loose the focus because they are talking about many other things.
Loved the intersecting mask part: thank you, Simon! I will definitely start implementing it next time I edit my photos. A game changer!
Fantastic!
Simon, I know taking the care to craft such a seamless video isn’t a light task. Your videos are so genuine and well produced - thank you for what you do!
I've never had this sort masking skills explained to me like this. This is a masterclass in simplicity yet very detailed. Thanks again for your tuition.
Glad it was helpful!
Well done, Simon. The Lightroom of today is "light-years" ahead of the LR 6 I grew up with. Your videos are a great help to me in keeping up with the advanced techniques. Thank you.
Glad to help!
Thank You! Now I have learned something I kind of had an inkling of, but now it has been explained CLEARLY. I'll have a lot of fun going back to re-process many of my pictures.
This is exactly what I didn't know I needed. Thank you so much for your brilliant way of teaching.
Mask intersect is a great function. I can see myself revisiting some old photos to make the most of it.
This video is so well set up! I can't wait to use this in the next set of photos I select from my backlog. Thanks for helping beginner photographers like myself!
Another game-changer, Simon! Merci beaucoup!!!
that intersect mask is interesting thanks for that :)
Bonjour cher ami, encore une belle et très intéressante vidéo. You re the best!
What a great video! I finally found someone to explain intersecting masks! Thanks for all your assistance!
I have been using LIghtroom for years, but had never used the colour range selection tool. I had not explored it. I have just tried it out on a couple of images and It worked very well. I do find that more often than not the select object and select object as well as the select people are a bit hit and miss when the object is not that predominant. I often have to add a brush tool or adding a further select object mask. In pictures, like your stack the select object works very, very well. Thank you very much for continuing to post videos. I usually learn something from them.
I'm just repeating what other people have commented on, but I can't resist. Aside from your brilliant photography sense and ability, your videos are among the best instructional videos out there. Whereas many other 'tubers will spend 30 minutes fumbling about explaining just one thing that you've covered, you manage to pack one 12 minute video with a wide range of extremely useful advanced techniques. On top of that, you explain everything in such an easy-to-understand way without using any more words than are necessary. And, you manage to do all that while not talking down to your audience. As always, thank you so much.
Thank you Simon! Your videos are so well done and understandable for all skill levels. They have a real “hands on” feel. I can’t wait for the next one!
Absolutely a great video tutorial Simon.
Thanks for share it.
Thank you very much Simon. Your tips are always wonderful. Congratulations for all the work you do as a photographer and as a popularizer.
This was one of The Best LR videos I've seen in a long time!! THANK YOU
Wow, thank you!
The best tipp is:
Take a average photo and try to make it look as good as possible and play around with all the tools you have.
It's easy to make a good photo great. So don't delete your "failed" shots right away.
Thanks for the video.
Wonderfully clear and concise details to walk your viewers through the processing steps. 10/10 Simon.
The final tip is amazing - thank you
Great video again Simon. Awesome teacher.
Ive been using lightroom for the better part of 2 weeks now and I felt that I got a good understanding of the basics. That being saud, I didnt even know half these tools existed. Thank you so much😅
Simon, you have a brilliant style.
You are the best. My photo editing and photography skills have improved drastically thanks to you.
Happy to help!
Thank you for these tips we can apply from now to many examples, increasing the rendering of photography without compromission on the emotional we had first.
I use free tools: GIMP and Darktable. I haven't exhausted all the options, but I think everything in this video can be done using these tools. It might take more work, but you'll get the same results. After a year of serious photography, I am just starting to apply the techniques in the video, THANKS TO SIMON. He's the best.
Simone! Thanks for all you do! I learn so much from you! This video, in particular, is so helpful! I can't wait to get into Lightroom and practice some of these techniques that I NEVER would've figured out on my own. You're a true rockstar of photography and a fantastic teacher!
You are so welcome!
Another hugely helpful video, thanks Simon. I always learn something new when I watch you!
Wow this is game changing and can’t wait to drag out some shots to experiment on. Thank you very much for sharing.
Brilliant Simon 👍. 9/10 times I only ever edit this way. I love it
You have excellent teaching skills. Thanks so much.
An experienced photographer told me a year ago that the order of processing actions in Lightroom is the order of the tools in the interface and how much it's important to work on the global correction first. I'm not a professional photographer but I've never done it. I always break down the image into masks according to my final vision. Thanks for confirming this work process.
You still need a good starting place, I think Simon shows you don’t have to get it perfect. But if the global white balance or exposure are way off, you should fix that first.
Sometimes the masks don’t perfectly overlap and you don’t want to double-correct the white balance or miss something.
General to specific is a good rule of thumb. That photographer didn’t tell you anything incorrect - use both global and specific adjustments for best results.
If there are any lightroom mobile user like me, you can do the intersecting mask trick in mobile too. First add mask > select subject > select the mask on the toolbar/ mask menu > subtract from mask > then choose the linear gradient. Hope that helps for anyone wondering.
Also for mobile users, we don’t have the “select background” option, the mobile work around is to select the subject in masking > then invert the mask…brushing in any missed spots
Thank you Simon. Very well presented. Lacking the fluff of many over-manipulated examples on TH-cam.
Simon, loved the video!! I never got to see that transformation of that final bird photo that you had showed us in the beginning of the video.
thanks a lot simon, you are the best
I’ve watched many videos on Lightroom and what I just watched hear is one of the best by far. You explain it all so well Simon and also in a way that is easy and simple to remember
Glad it was helpful!
You're a freaking awesome instructor!
Thank you so much, your videos are always so full of knowledge, and I have learned so much from watching them
Simon you were born to do this... shoot, teach, etc. I so enjoy your videos and I learn a lot. One of these days I'm going to meet you. Thank you for these tips and for sharing your amazing talent and gifts!
Excellente synthèse des récentes améliorations du Développement de Lightroom!
I have been waiting for this one for a while. While I use masks for numerous edits, I always expected that you used them more effectively than most of us. I’ll be practicing some of these on my next edits. Brilliant video - so much info, so well illustrated. Thanks so much!
Had no idea u could intersect masks ur videos are a game changer thank you for ur knowledge sir 🙏
Simon, that is so helpful, brilliantly explained. Thanks so much!
I'm going to Nova Scotia for 2 weeks just because of you ;) Thank you for your videos
Have fun!
Thanks Simon, after spending a rainy day working with Lightroom, I have just learned two new things about masks which I wish I knew this morning!!
Perfect!
I have learned so much from you since i picked up a camera again. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
You are so welcome
Sir, you have a very nice presentation and voice. You would have been a great radio host. Thank you for the very useful video!
Thank You!
Lightroom needs to hire you. Very informative and well-done video.
It made my day!
Wow, Simon, so many useful tips - hadn't tried the range tool much but it's perfect for so many details. Many thanks.
For intersecting masks I you can also hold Alt/opt when a mask is selected, then the subtract and add will be replaced with intersect. From that select masks as normal!
Wow. I wasn't aware of the intersecting mask option. Thank you Simon! 😃
The range mask tip was worth the price of admission alone! The intersecting masks is new to me as well. You're such a great teacher, all content no BS. Thank you for all that you do for us, Simon!
Thank you Simon. I’ve learned so much from you on your TH-cam channel. I’m heading to PEI on Sunday and can’t wait to try some of the things in this video to my images when I get home.
Simon, I am always amazed by how you pack so much relevant content into so little! You are an incredible photographer and instructor. Thank you!
Brilliant explanation of using the masking instead of Global adjustments. Thankyou so much
Glad you liked it
Amazing tutorial Simon as usual. I am fortunate to find your tutorials and subscribe. A unique way of presenting the core details of the content. Thank you for enlightening the refined skills and taking us to the next level.
Wow! So helpful, thank you. I’ve been using Lightroom for around 9 years now and to be honest, had not explored these features since they were introduced. Still happily brushing. Got too set in my ways. I will now definitely use.
Best Jedi Master of Light. Thanks for all your images and excellent instructions. Cheers from a fellow bluenoser 🙌
Wow, thanks!
Cool , impresive changes and very easy to do
I learn more from you than anyone else, including our local camera club. Thank you!
Thank you Simon! I was just looking at one of my lion shots from Dinaka and wishing I had taken notes when you were teaching us editing techniques. And voila! Your latest video comes to the rescue! You are an amazing educator! Regards! Juan F
Thanks Juan! Was great having you!
You′re amazing Mr Simon ❤️
Thanks for another excellent video! I already knew about the different masking types (due to one of your previous videos) but I still learned something new in this video and your gentleness really makes you a great teacher. I wish I could teach as you do, so simple and straight forward. I also got some great bird shots due to your tips! Thank you!! 🎉
Thanks for the video! Clear, concise, and informative. You definitely put a lot of work into your videos and it really shows.
That was an outstanding video Simon. Thank you. Woody
