The blender bit made the whole video!! Love it. great tips.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha thanks a lot!

[@dennisfrederick9304]

Great stuff. Great tips on the sky and using contrast on the foreground instead of exposure. Thanks!

[@daveabernathey]

I'll have to try this next time! Great video Will!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.

[@paulwelding]

You can intersect a sky mask with a linear gradient to retain the natural balance of the tones, works amazingly well!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Sure. Just easier to use a brush imo, but whatever you prefer :)

[@johnchambers6272]

Excellent video Will, found this to be a great refresher. Cheers

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers mate!

[@adonuff3338]

Thanks William, I have started to use the brush a lot more since watching. I am getting better results the selective brush strokes defiantly help.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Glad it's helping, thanks a lot :)

[@msingrey14]

Thank you for this. This way of postprocessing makes much more sense.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks a lot!

[@MartyKramer-m1f]

Outstanding presentation! Without the TH-cam ubiquitous diatribe of opinions, your succinct presentation (with passion), offers concise advice with regard to global and local adjustments, fore/mid/background treatment of light to create depth, and of course, emphasizing a light touch.
Thank you very much

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you for the thoughtful comment and support!

[@davidburchettephotography6513]

Another very informative instructional video with just a dash of some very funny humor (beginning at around 1:19).

[@curiousabout1]

Good video with useful tips, thanks! Also, it doesn't hurt that you're fun to look at. Subbed!

[@gurdeepkhosa3055]

Top stuff Will, great tips 💯
let him cook! 🤌🏼🍲

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha cheers mate!

[@chantallabelle8571]

Again, so interesting ! 2 tips that I will use for sure 1) avoiding sky selection and using more a brush 2) using contrast in the foreground instead of just decreasing the exposition ! Thank you so much !

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Awesome to hear, glad the tips are useful!

[@colinbrewer6507]

Great listening to you always some very good advice 👍

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks a lot Colin

[@satur9]

Really funny comparison between the auto button and the blender, brilliant! Made me laugh out loud 😀

[@TheSporeTrail]

Thanks for the helpful tips.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

[@sylvestersim423]

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Great video sir - especially love the local adjustments 🙏🤘📸

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks mate!

[@shane9634]

Love the B Roll

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha cheers mate

[@lisarobertson7011]

very helpful - thank you

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

You’re very welcome!

[@richardhurst3368]

It certainly is a process, I've found learning & working through the editing system from auto adjustments, large masks eventually provides you with the experience to practice on your Raw files just as you have shown, great video and explanation, I'd recommend purchasing a book on food blending before another attempt in the kitchen...🤣

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

haha, cheers mate ;)

[@rolfkarlsson9439]

It works well for me to select sky, intersect with select sky (to refine the selection), intersect with linear gradient and drag it down a little bit in the sky.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Whatever works mate. I prefer the simplicity of the brush.

[@LaposMovies]

Beautiful. thank you very much.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you too!

[@reesmarkham2140]

Excellent, you are confirming what I have noticed about global adjustments. Do you ever use a linear profile or adobe adaptive (bata) Profiles? I have been doing this for the last year or so. It helps open up the dynamic range of my 10 year old canon 6d.

[@ettoreleiduan]

This LCL is detailed in your masterclass or is newer? Thanks

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

I actually expand further in the masterclass. LCL is a simplified approach for people to remember. Cheers :)

[@augustoveronesi]

01:33 😂

[@lechindianer]

Instantly liking this video for the spit 😂

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha, thanks a lot

[@jaceacekalgoorlie]

Editing, the autotune of photography.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Just shoot jpeg then?
