I have been a videographer for over 30 years at a high end production orientated TV broadcast news magazine show and I have been shooting stills for about the same amount of time. What I have found is that no matter how long someone has been doing something, exspecially when you are talking about something regarding being creative, there is always something new to learn even when you feel you have done it all a thousand times. I just came across your channel and subscribed because I feel you do a nice job explaining things and from the production side, your videos are great. There is one thing I would like to share that I feel is more than a little concerning and that is what a photographer has become, which in some cases, is a graphic artist. Someone will take a marginal shot at best and then create something that was never there. For me, what you see through the lens is what you should see on the other side and not something that was created through editing. There is nothing wrong with tweaking things a little but when someone completely changes the image that was in the lens, for me, that's an issue. Fall foliage shots is probably the worst offender. There are photographers that will go out and hunt down the perfect shot and there are others that will find something with a little color, and then through editing, crank up the color to create an image that was not there. If the sky was not perfect, they will make it dark blue. If the ocean doesn't look perfect in it's own setting, some people tweak the colors to once again, create something that was never there. I am not bashing the people that do this but they have crossed the line between a photographer and a graphic artist, which by definition is to create an image and not capture it, which is what a photograper is supposed to do.
Sooo definitions change, boundaries change, technology changes, what we consider "good" or "acceptable" changes, what are you getting at? What are you surprised about? Should your leaf photographer walk for hours until she finds the perfect light, angle and pigment combination, or will it be OK if she just tweaks the colors (a lot) in a photo from her backyard? Because that's what you can do now, world is getting easier, more people can unleash their creativity using tech tools. I consider us talking about mediocre results right now. The light at the end of the tunnel for you my friend is that the ceiling is getting pushed HIGHER. If everybody can have great results without hours of leaf-searching, then we won't consider this great anymore. And also your unedited work will have to get better in order to compete, you cannot stay lazy.
Outstanding Mark. Just when I thought I knew what I was doing you woke me up. It’s a pity that I’m watching this tutorial whilst sitting in bed at 01235 hrs. It’s already tomorrow. Wait till I wake up in the morning and I’ll be colouring photos the correct way and more carefully. As usual Mark, thank you very much from this young old Aussie. Be safe Mark. Neville J.
Something I like to do when adjusting White Balance is temporarily run the Saturation slider all the way to 100%. This exaggerates any color cast that might be present and will highlight any color imbalance, making it easier to adjust. After adjusting Color Temp to something more balanced, I'll zero out the Saturation slider and toggle my White Balance adjustment on/off to see the change. This "usually" gets me 99% of the way there with only minor adjustments left to dial it in to taste.
Mark... I wanted to take a second to thank you for your videos. The "pace" of the videos are great... not too fast or too slow, your explanation of why you are doing something to an image... and when to back off... just really, really helpful. Very glad I subscribed to your channel here and am joining your website. Again, thanks for your effort.
I’m a photographer and Lightroom user for years!! I also went to the photography school, from monday to friday, every week for 2 years long. Making photographs every single f#cking day, composition, lightning, post processing ... all the mikmak. I hated photography those days, it was too much work! Finally when I got my diploma I putted my camera away for 2 months. I hated that camera so hard! And the teachers too btw😂. So, what I wanted to say, If people ask me tips about photography and I don’t have the time to help them sometimes I send a link from one of your video’s. You are such a great teacher and you have such a warm and calm personality. With this video too, If people don’t understand it after seeing this short masterclass they were dreaming for at least 19’05”. Another superb video Mark!!!!
I have been using lightroom cc for a while now and there were so many things i did not know about. You make everything really easy to understand. I would often put too much contrast to my photos, but i have been watching your videos and realising that sharp photo does not have to be high on contrast. Thank you for teaching.
Little tip with the tone curve: If you hold down option (mac) or alt (PC) while dragging an anchor point, it makes your mouse move the anchor point so much slower, allowing for much finer control. With the color curves I find that often you really only want to move them a super tiny bit, so pressing alt / option allows for more subtlety.
I'm a lightroom newbie and never really thought it was any good. However, I'm watching all your tutorials on lightroom, and wow it's very powerful, your delivery and non complicated style makes learning very easy. Thank you so much. Russ
I also have a degree of color-blindness (along with about 8% of all males) and I tend to obsess over the color balance. The technique I usually use involves using a curves layer to set the white black and gray points along with a threshold layer to find the white and black points, and a 50% gray layer to find the gray point. This usually seems to work, but the downside is that it stretches out the dynamic range from a black point with zero R, G, and B to a white point with fully saturated R, G, and B. I wish someone could come up with a foolproof method for color-bind people that didn't depend on adjusting sliders until it looks right. I've tried using an Expodisc, but one downside is that the lighting can change from one minute to the next depending on cloud cover, etc, and another downside is that you don't always want to remove color casts, such as the golden glow just before sunset.
Definitely a useful video, especially the tip with the color marker. I only use it in WB but I will use it more after watching this video. Thanks for the tips!
Very good stuff Mark! I really need to learn to better adjust colors in photography, it´s one the most important thing in Post Processing. And btw the white balance adjustment tip is Amazing
I kinda take it as a habit now to use the custom WB (specially when shooting panoramas). I use Vello's WB disk for this, and if I don't have it, I would shoot something that "I" consider white and set that image for custom WB calibration. Of course the perfect choice would be for a mid-gray area though, but this color is hard to estimate (kind of, to my eyes). When I started with photography i really thought these WBs were for "mood" and used it in that manner actually, and then I learned the full scientific story behind it but kept my "mood" method until one day I had big problems when stitching a panorama done indoors with mixed lighting conditions and all (and some times even outside of course, specially at night)... it was a real struggle finding a good balance. So right now I just calibrate (using custom WB) and think of changing the mood later in post-processing or after stitching the panorama. I think it is quite beneficial (or even basic and essential) for a photographer to learn and study the color wheel and the relation between colors (mainly the complimentary ones) to understand the colors thoroughly (sometimes that might even play a critical rule in composing the elements).
Great info! Really appreciate the info on color profiles, in particular, which I no knowledge of before. Thanks also for the specific details on the other color adjustment approaches in LR. Very clearly explained. Well done!
Thanks, Mark - a great, helpful video for a long-term Lightroom user who never dared to fool with what he thought were complicated color adjusting tools. Thanks to you, they aren’t complicated.
Wow, thanks for the great Lightroom tips. I have to say, every time I watch one of your videos, I have to go back and edit all my pictures again! Thanks for the online education 😊👍
This was mostly review for me. However, you first tip using the White Balance Picker and then adjusting the temperature to balance the blue channel was brilliant. I never seen that. I love the result afterwards. I will definitely try that tip and give it a try. Thanks.
Another great video, Mark! Most helpful was the tip on selecting white balance, which is always something I seem to struggle with. I also never really used split toning. Your explanation was most helpful as well! Keep up the good work. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for sharing this. I really enjoyed the way youth explained the 7 tips, specially the hsl picker, and the calibration!!! Really helpful.
Once again a VERY informative video Mark. I was stopping your video as I was going back into my Lightroom and trying each of the tips on a photo I took, then restarting your video :) You have a fantastic way of explaining things 👍 Again thank you for the tips and look forward to your next video......
@@MarkDenneyPhoto Its ME who has to thank YOU for sharing your knowledge not just about photography but also Lightroom and Photoshop as well. So YOU are the man Mark! 😁
Excellent knowledge sir! Not sure who I first saw it from but it wasn't too long ago I saw how to use the individual color choices and now that is what I mainly use on my pics. I mostly do car pics so I tend to increase the individual color saturation and luminescence of colors in the car that I want to intensify. I don't mess with the WB except when I do any indoor pics, which is rare. Most of my stuff is outside during the day so I just leave it all to auto for that.
Informative video again, really do like this channel. Great to have videos highlighting how to go about post processing. Most channels are about composition and settings but what sets there image's apart is the post processing they do to those images, your video's give an insight into the post processing so that we all can try and improve our images.
Hi from Germany, I love your tutorials. The topics are well structured and explained very understandably. I would like to mention a point regarding the tone curves. If you take the color picker, set one point at the curve and drag it this also changes other parts of the curve. Sometimes it helps to fix the lighter or darker areas by adding one or two more points at the tone curve.
Thanks Nicola! I was thinking about adding a similar topic to this video, but it was starting to run long. I'll look at creating a part 2 to this video.
Really really interesting video. I no longer use Lightroom (Luminar) but it’s basically the same. You have so many different ways to get creative with colors. There isn’t just one way of doing it 🙂
I am so glad that I stumbled upon your channel! Such a very helpful video, you explained color to me in a way that made sense! You answered a few questions that have been plaguing me regarding the autumn colors in my images this fall (2020) ! Thanks so much! ❤️🙌🏻
Hi from NZ, I have to say your tutorials are amazing, perfect speed, very clear instruction and your speaking voice is awesome to understand. Probably my favourite tutorial subscription I have clicked on. Not sure if it was intended but the lights behind you changed to match the colours you were talking about at the beginning of the video, very cool. Thanks again.
Great vid! watched this a couple times and saved it for future reference! As someone who is Color Blind and just getting into photography, I'm very gun-shy of messing in the HSL tab at all. The select and drag tools have helped me a lot in that tab but his vid gave me many more options that with subtle changes I can more gradually effect the colors and mitigate some risk of going too far off of accurate colors
I'm so envious. I'm colourblind (deuteranomaly) so dare not touch any colour adjustments. I've tried many times but always end up resetting. I once knocked a WB setting and did a whole sequence of beach photos with green sand, only noticed some days later :-)

I have been a videographer for over 30 years at a high end production orientated TV broadcast news magazine show and I have been shooting stills for about the same amount of time.

Really enjoy your videos! Super Informative! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Kyle!
Great vid! watched this a couple times and saved it for future reference!
As someone who is Color Blind and just getting into photography, I'm very gun-shy of messing in the HSL tab at all. The select and drag tools have helped me a lot in that tab but his vid gave me many more options that with subtle changes I can more gradually effect the colors and mitigate some risk of going too far off of accurate colors
Great video. Lots of good value. :)
Giovanni Fiorentini Thanks so much!
Love your videos!
Thanks Oscar! I love that you Love the videos!
Thank you for these tips, they are very helpful.
Peter Jobbins Glad to hear it Peter - thank you!
I'm so envious. I'm colourblind (deuteranomaly) so dare not touch any colour adjustments.
I've tried many times but always end up resetting.
I once knocked a WB setting and did a whole sequence of beach photos with green sand, only noticed some days later :-)
