In this week’s episode, we discuss a hard Lightroom skill that pays off forever! There's a ton of photo editing tips, techniques, and best practices out there, but none of them have had as great of an impact on my editing workflow as this Lightroom skill has. Now this isn't the easiest skill to learn as it typically just takes experience, editing hundreds of photos throughout the years to develop this, but in this video I hope to greatly reduce that learning curve for you. I really hope you enjoy this week's video and feel comfortable trying this technique out the next time you begin editing some of your favorite photos. As always thanks so much for watching! - Mark D.

Hope ya'll are doing well & thanks so much for checking out this week's episode! I hope it's a helpful one👍
One thing I noticed right away when you toggled between the Raw image and the completed image were the berries. In the Raw photo, you really can't see them but when you warmed up the middle, that red shows up much easier and helps to add to the scene.
always enjoy spending time with you Mark.
@@charlesdavis6371 I appreciate the Charles!
First of all, I really love your videos! I don't know do you move info bellow histogram, but I think a lot of people could lear much more if they can see numbers and these tehnical info. :)
Thanks Mark..
Been doing photography for 10+ years and have to say this is the greatest skill I've acquired post shoot to date. I'll be looking at your other videos and content...thank you for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated!
Mark, you definitely have a (great teacher's) talent to explain difficult things in a way when everything turns out to be really easy. Great tutorial, thanks a lot! Really like your videos because they are so inspirational
I have been using Lightroom for a few years. Your videos are by far better and easier to understand than the tutorials I have watched from Adobe. Thank you for taking time to make them.
I just learnd a lot from this video. I am an AMETUER landscape photographer. I've been using lightroom classic for a few months now. As I watched you edit this image, my thoughts raced a an image of mine that I am pretty proud of. I thought it looked pretty good. And I guess it does. But I plan to use the techniques you are teaching in the video on that image and see if I can't punch it up even more. Thank you Mark for the lesson. But first I'm going to get ready for the day. Then I'm going outside to take some photographs of the snow that is falling. That is, I'm heading to the same location where I took the picture I talked about to shoot another photo. The scene I'm referring to reaaaaaalllly needs to be photographed in the snow. As always Mark, thank you for the lesson. Don't stop making these videos. Every time I watch one of your lesson videos I feel like my photography IQ goes up a few points.
Another top notch lesson here on using light to enhance the view. Some people don’t understand digital photography and raw files so let their nay says roll off your back. There are times when processing a scene I begin to question myself for using multiple brushes, radials and grads and today’s video confirms that some times that’s what is necessary to complete the look. Thanks 😊
Hey Mark - You are a gifted, natural-born teacher! I cannot thank you enough for this video. I sincerely believe the lessons learned will greatly advance my landscape photography!
Very good Mark!
This itemized and broke down the confusion in my mind of “ what to do and when to do” to a picture.
You fully deserve whatever you make for making these tutorials and explanatory videos and even more, the way you teach is absolutely unique.
Would love to see what you did in photoshop also as this further enhances the final look quite significantly. Thank you for sharing the lightroom edits. Very much appreciated and I learned lots.
even a little late I second that :)
I have learned so more in the last couple of weeks watching your videos than I have in any of my photography and photoshop classes in school. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. It is appreciated more than you can even imagine.
Music to my ears - thanks so much for letting me know!
This video reignites my creativity!!!!
Excellent tutorial Mark and reinforces the power of light!!
Wow, all I can say is wow! You took a drab, nothing photo, one I probably would have discarded, and turned it into a real work of art. The use of the filters was really illuminating. Great video, one I’ll come back to over and over. Thanks
Best lightroom editing channel out there. Love the way you narrate and educate along the way
I always find your videos beneficial. Thank you Mark for sharing.
1st came across your photography on PhotoPills. Came right over to your Tube channel. I’m going to learn some good stuff from you. Thank you for your kindness. It’s quite evident in teaching. Blessings all around
Mark, I just finished watching this video and it was AMAZING! I learned so much and you are a wonderful photographer, you are generous in wanting to share your techniques and it was a truly delightful experience that I will follow from now on in my photographic journey.
It´s very rare that youtubers go in so much depth about how to edit. More of this please!
This is one of your best teaching videos....great information!! Thanks!!
This is so helpful - Your teaching style is perfect, well paced and understandable. Thanks Mark!
Definitely brought some clarity and direction instead of just being placed in a overgrown path
Magnifient discourse!! Deepest respect.
💡 moment happened for me watching this!! THANKYOU!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really enjoyed your demonstration of localized editing, nice work👌.
Wild seeing these techniques parallel almost identically to analog darkroom dodging and burning in the print process. Never used Lightroom (darktable bc free) but it’s always cool to see how the techniques from decades ago have been transferred digitally.
Mark, hi from up Raleigh way. I think this may be your best tutorial yet for me. I have a favorite several-years-old-photo just waiting for me to try this technique on. Thanks for sharing your impressive skills!
Great video. Very helpful to see how to enhance a photo simply but effectively using gradients.
I always look forward to your weekly videos, but I must say this is on my top 10 list of my favorites from your channel. Between the techniques and theory behind your use of them - along with your a-ha moment (wow! - definitely a light bulb went off for me as well). You made a stunning image turn into a work of art. Simply awesome!
Absolute game changer.
Thank you very much for taking the time to show us those tips. 👍🏻
Great video Mark. Again. Always thankful for your insights and willingness to share.
Excellent tutorial Mark!
ohhhh, sick release
Thanks, Mark, for crearing such an Informative video. I really enjoyed every moment of this tutorial.
Excellent example and sharing of expertise. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing the technique.
Outstanding presentation!! Great thoughts and technique....
Excellent, Mark.
Wonderful tutorial-thanks so much!
Another amazing tutorial, Mark. As always, thank you for taking time to invest in those of us just trying to get better. This episode was extremely helpful, very detailed, and very easy to follow; I look forward to trying these new skills out with my own images!
I greatly appreciate the time and effort that is given to the videos.
I've been a 'student' of yours for a couple of years and always appreciate the clarity of the content. This video has been especially helpful - the 'optical journey' is the sum of a photographers intent, and the 'how to achieve it' is a bonus.
Mark, I have about a dozen photographer channels I subscribe to on TH-cam. I’m mostly interested in wildlife photography and landscape is a close second.
This video is one of your best! You are well spoken, the agenda flows nicely, and I can see real progress as you move from one step to the next.
Your videos are head and shoulders above the next closest photographer’s videos! IMHO, your videos are every bit as intriguing and masterful as your landscape photographs. Keep up the great work.
Great presentation, solid tips! Thank you for sharing.
Love your videos Mark. You have made learning Lightroom very easy and improved a lot of my editing skills.
It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos! Because you describe your intentions in editing it’s easy to understand the way to the finished picture. Thanks to let us be part of your journey…
As always Mark, some great tips. 🙏
Thank you for so much information and inspiration!
This is the most important video I've seen in years. After more than 20 years of teaching Photoshop, I am moving a some of my attention to Lightroom, and this video opens up a whole new way to address guiding the viewer through an image. I really, REALLY appreciate your videos Mark.
Using some lovely lighting to take you from a snap shot to a masterpiece. Great tutorial - I understood everything you demonstrated. Thank you - now have to check out your tutorial portfolio!
That was the best LR tutorial ever. Thank you
Thank you, great explanation of your workflow. Extremely useful!!!👏👏👏
Beautifully composed photograph, and exquisitely edited! You've motivated me to experiment similarly, thanks a ton!
Thanks for the great tips as always!
Fabulous video. Thank you. I am definitely going to try to achieve this effect on my landscapes.
Beautiful. Really great thank you for walking us through this
Excellent ! Thank you Mark...
Thank you so much for this one!! Such a great tutorial!!
Wow, thank you for showing how you edited this photo! I also enjoy the theory you provide as to why you did what you did. I am going to have to look at some of my photos now and try this out.
Great video! I really appreciate how you go about explaining a technique.
Thanks, Mark, for another excellent video! It’ll definitely help me with my photo editing. 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, very informative. I've been using some of the techniques you've shown previously and I'm happy with the results. Thank you for taking the time to show us. Debbie from Australia
Thanks once again.... great lessons and I love your enthusiasm
Thank you for this 👍👍👍
This is one of my favourite vidoes yet. It is so helpful for to see just how much editing others do to an image to help me judge how much is too muuch. Good up the excellent work and thank you.
A great lesson Mark! Thanks
Beautiful image Mark!!
This video along with the one explaining color calibration and how to utilize it for fall photos have been my favorite and some of the most informative by far. Great content as always.
Wow, this is amazing. A mildly interesting image transformed into a real beauty. Excellent teaching skills. You've given me a whole new way of looking at light and directing the eye. Thankyou!
Perfect....AGAIN!
Thank you Mark.👏👏👏
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Another cracking tutorial. Thank you Mark.
Wonderful walk through of the Edit Mark your explanations are so easy to follow and the final image is fantastic thank you so much for your time putting this together!
Brilliant tutorial! Thank you!
Great Lesson. Thank you.
Very nice to see your detailed process! Made me much more keen on using the radial and gradient masks 😊👍
Much appreciated!
Perfect video again. Thx👍
Thanks, Mark! Very helpful and easy to follow. I appreciated the statement at the very beginning about the distinction between what the viewer sees vs. what I want him to see. Helpful.
Thank you for this video. You used the radial filter in a way that I never considered before. I am going to re-edit some photos using this technique. I'm excited to try it.
I'm a Lightroom newbie. I picked it up to do color correction, but this idea of the 'optical journey' is a wonderful new way of thinking about the tool. I know it's a rich environment that no doubt takes years to master. Your presentation is very clear; doesn't talk down to the beginner, and MOST importantly, gives a photographic reason to use a given set of tools.
I love watching other creatives at work. I love to predict what you're going to do next, with a few surprises or reassurance thrown in. It certainly helps grow my confidence with landscape photography.
Great tips. I will try it out. Thank you.
Thank you so very much!
So good Mark! To have the mind set to see a season on how it will look in post is a good skill to have. I need to do that more myself. I've seen a few of your videos that do this very thing every time, keep them coming!
Great video!! I tried this out with some of my photos that I edited differently and what a difference... thanks for the great tips, as always!
I like that you had a progression of adjustments in mind. Some youtubers seem not to know where they're going with adjustments, and make a excessive change with one tool only to undo with a later edit.
Thank you for this video. I’m new to editing and found it very helpful!
Excellent video once again. I always learn a lot of helpful informations thanks to your videos.
Awesome tutorial! Easy to understand explanations with actionable advice, definitely appreciate it!
Incredible! Very helpful. Thank you!
Agree! Perfect edit!
One of your best, Mark!
Super editing video. As always very clear and easy to follow.
Thanks so much for this video! The radial gradient adjustments on the edges, and other areas as needed, to bring the viewers eye to the main subject of the image is a game changer for me, the inexperienced--but learning--LR editor. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Wow, what a difference those radial gradients made. Something I'm going to start using. Thanks so much for this lesson.
Just may be one of your best editing videos. Very easy to follow along. Glad you focused on one image. Which also was my favorite from that batch. Now I know why I enjoyed it the most.
Appreciate the video!
🤣 Ash berries, the tree is known as the Mountain Ash/Rowan. Clusters of white blooms in early summer, red red/orange berries late summer through Fall.
That was incredibly insightful. I really appreciate this tutorial
Great walkthrough of your processing workflow.
