Great tips, thank you.
I love this channel. Thank you!
Just found these Pangolin series of videos on TH-cam and must admit they have all been excellent. I particularly like the style of Sabine Stols presentation which is light but informative. Now to find the money to go on a trip :-(
Danke sehr Sabine :) You can cycle the auto mask in the brush on and off while painting - using the CTRL or A key (on a US keyboard). Very handy to keep the brush effect in the contrast range under the + symbol at it's center...
Many thanks Sabine
Thank you for watching!
That was excellent...and very helpful. Thanks for the tips.
Great! Thanks so much for watching and keep well :)
LOVE your channel and your work!

Many thanks for watching, keep well!
Very well done! High quality presentation!
Thank you Roger! It's nice to get good feedback like this. Keep well ;)
Thanks Sabine ! Again, an excellent video !
One of the trick I like to use is the range mask (luminance or colour) within the brush or filters. I find them powerful selection tools. Best !
Hi Patrick. Thank you for watching! Yes, I occasionally use the range masks as well and found them to be useful in specific situations. Lightroom is just great in offering so many helpful features ;)
Outstanding information that I would never have known was available. Thank you.
Hi Bill. I am happy to hear you found the tips valuable ;)

G’day Sabine. Thanks so much for this video, I reckon I’ve learned more in that 10 minutes than I have since I learnt the basics of LR! Just awesome, thank you. Oh, and can’t wait until this wretched Covid business is over so I can return to the beautiful Chobe and the Pangolin Voyager. Wishing you all good health. James
Hi James. So glad to hear that! Yes, let's hope traveling will be possible in the near future ;)
Some very helpful tips. Thanks,
Great to hear! Thank you for watching ;)
Absolutely brilliant! I think there were more than five tips here. I will need to watch this again. Greetings from Australia.
Hi John. Thank you for watching the tutorial and engaging with us. I've consolidated different uses of the ALT/Option key as one tip which might seem like there is more. Anyways, the more the better right?

Thanks Rudolph.
Sabine you started me on this road at Khwai and now you are taking me further - thanks for these helpful tips - Appreciated - stay safe
Hi Steve. Great to hear from you and happy to help your photographic journey. You post some great images!!! Keep well
Fantastic video! I learned some new tricks. Wanted to ask if you found making lens corrections at the end of your editing helped with performance? It seems to over tax my computer, when editing numerous images if I venture outside the basic panel to soon.
Hey! Great tutorial! I also usually don't like most of the LR tutorials. Yours are to the point, yet comprehensive.
Awesome, thank you!
thank you so much from trev in Sussex UK
You are welcome Trevor and thanks for watching!
that was great. thanks a lot
Hi Isaac. Thank you for watching and the nice feedback. Good encouragement to make new content ;)
Thank you Sabine. Far majority of "tips & tricks" videos are just videos about what is said in the manual. Your tips & tricks that are creative use of Lightroom tools. Especially, was it number three, how to create a brush selection the simple way. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Harri. Will do.
Dear Sabina I am a Nikon Wildlife Photographer and Researcher from Sri Lanka. I have a deep interest to Nature & Wildlife Photography and I am actively involving in the subject with a deep meditation to the wilderness here in our country. Most of My Wildlife Photography Post Production works were done by one of my very good friend by using Adobe Photoshop. While the wild images editing works were in progress One of My Software Installation Professional very neatly and cleverly installed and gave me the Adobe Lightroom Classic 2021 to my Computer. After that slowly I started to edit my own WILD IMAGES captured through my Nikon D 7100 + NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6 E ED VR STZ Lens. While going through my works via the TH-cam came across your esteemed channel and found very important and very clear and easily understanding WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY EDITING by Lovely Adobe Lightroom Classic Powerful and Friendly Software. Very attractively you are presenting the practical skills and I am learning a Lot from your Good Self. With immense Gratitude and Sincerity. Blessings.
Thanks, for your positive decision. You Did great work, it was really useful, stay safe.
Hello Makawana. Thank you for watching the tutorial and your feedback. Stay safe too!
Brilliant thank you I learnt a lot. Paula.

Hey Scott. Thanks for watching and your feedback, have a good week too!
Great tutorial and even using LR the last 15 years there is always something new to learn :-)
Absolutely! Glad you liked it.
Very useful!
Great to hear. Thank you for watching Brant ;)
thank you for this
Awesome! You are most welcome ;)
Some fabulous tips and tricks and a great tutorial video overall. Hope to visit when this lockdown ends and greetings from a lockdown Ireland.
Hello NIkCan. Thank you for watching and engaging with us! We really value the feedback! Would be awesome to meet you once we are free to roam again, keep well!
Pangolin Photo Hosts Hoping this virus will be under control as this basic house arrest were all under is difficult to keep motivated but your videos so help.
I've been working with lightroom for about two years but I didn't know any of the tips you gave in this short video. Thank you very much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
The nr.1 tip was very useful , I never knew about it. The same with nr. 4 :)! The rest of them I use it from time to time, depends on the image.But overall they are very useful and much needed for anyone who use a LR. Thank you very much Sabine for all your work. Stay safe and healthy.
Hi Margaret. Thanks for watching! Glad there was some new tips that hopefully will help your workflow ;)
@@pangolinphotohosts4118 Yes, absolutely . Thank you again:)!
Brilliant. Thank you for this. The auto-mask tip is absolutely brilliant. That is going to be so useful.
Awesome! It helped me a lot too - a real game changer. Thank you for watching ;)
Fantastic information. What are the keys to use with Windows systems? I thought reducing the picture size for brushing was very clever.
Excellent Sabine! Many people get confused about catalog backups vs image backups. The catalog backups, it should be mentioned, only store the location, metadata and the processing changes; not the actual image file. Often I find that people think that the catalog also contains the actual raw photo. To backup everything (raw image and catalog) I simply go to library module, choose the folder you want to back up, right click, and then select “export this folder as a catalog”. This includes everything.
Another great tip Richard! I actually do backup my catalogue's plus images like that too. Thanks for the comment ;)
Fantastic
Thanks
Sehr nützlich! Danke allen, die an dem Video beteiligt sind.
Grüße!!
Vielen Dank fuers Anschauen ;)
@@sabine-pangolinphotohost9232 , das mit dem Active Button in dem HSL-Bereich war einfach das Beste! Ich kann mir gar nicht vorstellen wie ich bis jetzt ohne dem gearbeitet habe! Vielen lieben Dank, Sabine!!
Und falls Du noch nicht verheiratet bist, na ... Du weißt wo du mich fandest ☺😁
I have just created my first preset. And can't believe that it has taken me so long to start using this. Brilliant!
Well done John! Great if you learned something ;)
@@sabine-pangolinphotohost9232 Now I just need to remember to tick/add the preset before I import the photos.
john gunning if you ticked it once it should be ticked automatically the next time you import
This is a great channel,thanks for share.
We are glad if you enjoy it and thanks for the feedback! -Sabine
Hi Sabine, a trick I learned just recently: holding CMD or CTRL while using the mask tool, changes it to automask. No more need to check the box and very useful for detailed work, combined with larger areas. Grtz from Belgium.
Hi Henri. Awesome! Didn't know that one yet. Thanks for teaching me something ;)
@@pangolinphotohosts4118 Likewise, Sabine! Have fun and stay safe!
Hi Sabine. Fine instruction by Lightroom. Which version are you using? Lightroom Classic on PC or Lightroom Cloud. I think it's weirdest to have pictures on your own PC with backup rather than in the cloud. What do you mean is best.
Hi, great video, as all the videos are. A suggestion, could you do a tutorial on producing an output file for professional printing? Eg. jpg Vs TIFF, bit rate, colour profile, perhaps black and white printing. Basically how can ensure the prints I get from the photo lab are the same as I see on my screen. Many thanks.
Hi Colin. That's a great idea. I will put it on the list. Thank you.
Jeez. I thought I was pretty decent at Lightroom. You just destroyed me. I have a lot to learn. Great video
Glad to hear it!
Sabine, Is it necessary to create a preset for different lenses or will one preset work generically for any photograph taken with any lens? Thank you.
hi pls tell full settings of light room thank
All I can say is wow! At my age transferring from my Photo-gallery to Lightroom is a challenge, let alone all these brilliant tips. Nevertheless, thank you.
Hi Colin. Thanks for watching nevertheless :)
These are good tips but certainly not 'Hacks'. Whilst I have Remove Chromatic Aberration set on import I do not set Enable Profile Correction as many times I actually prefer the field of view without the correction and slight darkening of the corners and want to see that first. Like the auto-mask tip, but I find it causes fringing if pushed too far.
Hi John. Thanks for watching and your opinion! Appreciated ;)
Would be great if a whole video was devoted to each tip. Apart from the first couple of tips, you covered the others much too quickly and I couldn’t work out what you were doing. Could see myself using all these tips, but unfortunately you didn’t spend long enough demonstrating each technique for me to be able to grasp them.
Hi Valerie & Patrick. I get what you are saying and will try and take more time on the next video coming out. Thank you for the feedback as this is really helpful improving!
How about Photoshop tutorials ..I havent learnt Light room
