What does your post processing look like?
Right now, just lightroom classic. I try to bring out what is there using the local adjustments and masks. I would love to work more in photoshop but I got to find the time. Thank you for showing methods in both softwares.

Lightroom, Photoshop and ON1
Good stuff Matt, adding this to my workflow, thanks friend.
Awesome! Happy to hear it. Have a great day and thanks for watching
Richtig cooles Video und super erklärt. Danke ✌🏻
Thank you! Cheers
This weeks and last weeks episodes are awesome! Gonna bookmark these for furture use for sure! Thanks for taking the time to do these.
Thanks... Not sure how many times I have heard "white reveals and black conceals". Today, your comment "white reveals the adjustment" resonated with me and maybe it will now stick as I seem to understand the concept better.
Early gang keep it up man great work
Thanks! Will do! Cheers
Great presentation.
I use the NX Studio program for my edits (mostly wildlife) and have been thinking of adding Lightroom, as I want to branch out into landscape. Watching this shows the added benefits of those programs. Thanks for all you do....and.....Mystic Beach, haven't been there in years, a lot of years !!
Cheers,
I enjoy your channel. I'm from Nanaimo but live in Japan now. I know that spot but have never been there but I'll be there this summer. I sure hope you're right about fog during the summer season. We shall see. It seems have probably watched all the same channels over the years. Keep going, Matt.
I edit mostly film and find that Lightroom pushes my scans to the extreme and therefore can’t achieve anything near what I’d get with a raw file.
So, I think this video will cause a complete overhaul of my editing workflow 😮
Thanks Matt, great visual representation!!
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching and your kind words, have a great day!
Great video Matt. Processing is a very individual process. I would highly recommend starting off using a linear profile- it gives more dynamic range headroom before you even move a slider. In addition to linear profiles, one might consider using gama, endpoint, and contrast gradient masks in Lightroom for maximum image quality. I also use deconvolution sharpen as a last editing step- Z9 files are plenty sharp ooc with good glass.
Beautiful location to shoot!
It is, perfect spot to camp and take beautiful photos.
Thanks for a more detailed explanation. I have not used Photoshop too much because I perceive it to be overly complex given that I can do much the same thing in Lightroom, so I have not delved into learning it. This video helped me understand the use of these adjustment layers..
With Lightroom, much of the fine-tuning can be done using masks. The thing I like about masks in Lightroom is that you can intersect two or more. So for instance, you can select an area using a brush, say, and intersect it with a luminance mask or graduated mask, for even finer control.
Wauw i'm learning alot by this video! It's awsome! Thank you for showing us!!
Awesome, great to hear it. Thank you for watching!
How long does an edit usually take?
Depends. Editing is a creative process that I enjoy doing but the time I put in changes from image to image. Composite images take a lot longer and on average I'd say 10 mins. Not uncommon to work on an image for 30-60mins.
Location of photo? Is that mystic beach?
You nailed it, it is Mystic Beach.
It seems like people don’t really understand the point of editing like this. A general rule for ethical editing is that it’s ok to add/remove things that depend on the timing.
Example: Removing a pimple on someone’s face is ok because it’s temporary. Removing a mole is not ok unless asked. Same with whitening a subject’s teeth, etc.
With landscapes it’s ok because there are plenty of days where the scene naturally looks like the finished result. He didn’t add anything that wouldn’t naturally be there. Plus, this isn’t a documentary or photojournalism, it’s art.
You hit the nail on the head. It is art and often we criticize anyone who does something different then what we would want to do or see in art. Consider a pianist looking at a keyboarder and saying that they are not a musician cause the notes coming out of the keyboard are electronic and programmed. Forget post processing, we strap filters to our lenses, use flashes, even the modern cameras come built with a sensor that has programs encrypted on it to correct for lighting, color, sharpness and noise. Before we throw it into Lightroom/Photoshop or any other program, our cameras have already done editing.
And in film, you have to use chemicals when developing and that is it's own art form. Ansel Adams was known for his dodging and burning to really cook and image where he wanted to expose areas that were too dark. At the end of the day, you do you (as long as you aren't breaking laws and destroying parks to get a shot 😄) We can't all like and do the same thing so its normal for those to not agree, but hopefully understand the process.
A bit of a ramble haha. Thanks for commenting/sharing and thanks for watching! Cheers
there's no question that you made the image look better with your edit. The problem is that you created something that wasn't there. It doesn't seem like the scene was all that great when you visited the place and you just made a fantasy image later
Do you consider Ansel Adam’s images fantasy? Some of his images took a day to edit in his darkroom! You do have a good point because Matt has added light and colours that were not there, but as always, we all have different tolerances as to what is acceptable...
@@dominiclester3232 Perfect answer.
@@dominiclester3232 additionally it’s very hard to identify the “true” saturation and colours of an image with just the raw image file.
@@alexanderlintott4286 Agreed. Most people readily accept a change in white balance as being a reasonable edit to make and yet this literally alters all the colours we see. So few photographs are “unedited” these days.
That’s the beauty of photography is to add life to an image, especially if it’s something that you love to do
nice but phony
