    Using the dehaze and negative clarity with the radial and gradient filters is genius. Much more natural light source effect.

    This video is among the best of the photo editing tutorials.
    The techniques are simple, yet impactful. They are transferable and not heavily specific to the example image. The presentation was clear and concise.
    10/10 would watch again.

  • @backpacker3421

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who pushes those sliders to the extremes just to see what it looks like. My whole approach is to go to each end, back and forth, and slowly hone in to the "acceptable" range of effect I'm looking for, and then see if I can find the sweet spot.

    I don’t know how you do it, Mark, but you always come up with new and unique videos on topics not seen elsewhere. Your videos are massively helpful and enjoyable; you style is such that I feel as if you are talking to me in a one-on-one. It’s clear to me that you enjoy what you are doing and it shows; I just hope you are giving yourself enough time in the field! Thank you for all you do for this community; you are a great mentor and are doing more than you might appreciate to elevate our skills. Thank you and best wishes for the health and safety of you and your family.

    Hi again Mark.
    Definitely picked up lots of hints and tips from this video. I already knew about creating pockets of radial filters draw attention to specific parts of the photo, however i've learned about how to use the Calibration panel.
    Thanks a million Mark and wish you all the best.

  •  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It is so refreshing to see the SOOC shot versus the final edit.The hacks you shared are indeed very helpful. I have a park not too far from home where I generally go biking. There are a series of bridges on the trail, and one particular set of bridges always fascinated me. First, because they were two bridges together. Second, because the lighting always lent itself to some creative and moody shots. Well, this spring it finally happened. I was able to get a shot with the right light where I wanted it to be. However, I still had to hack the image in the editing to accentuate the mood in the shot. Hacks such as what you showed are a great tool. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Mark, thank you so much for this video, really cool to see the raw, completely unedited photo and the end result after postprocessing. I don't know about everybody else but I'd be really interested to see more videos where you go through the whole process of editing a photo from scratch. The reason I say this is because I always thought that a lot of the amazing photos I've seen are largely captured out of camera with little post-processing (and I'm sure a lot of them are!), but this video really does a good job of showing the whole end to end process. Thanks again!

    @mcmoose64 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great work Mark .
    I am currently working through a mountain of shots taken on what will probably end up being a once in a lifetime , early winter trip to New Zealand.
    We were on a tight schedule so I had to take my shots as and where I found them. I use my (limited) editing skills to reproduce the image as captured by my mind's eye.
    I cut my teeth on black and white film photography around 40 yrs ago . Taking the photo was just one small step in the process , so I have no dogmatic ideological prejudice against modern editing techniques.
    While I try to achieve as much in camera as possible , editing is just another part of the process and is not something for which you should ever feel the need to apologize.

It happens very often that a cluster of small clouds partially covers the sun, creating a lot of sunspots everywhere. These short moments are hard to capture out on the trails unless I hold the camera in the hand for the whole hike. And here comes the hack into play.
