One of your best "instructional" videos. All the better for being so timely. Worth watching for that nugget about using the blue calibration slider alone ! That really works on some of my very green / summer woodland images
Always learn something from your "instructional" videos Nigel. Today it was eliminating true blacks and whites on the Tone Curve. Thanks! Plus, soooo nice to see a happy Pebbles in the mud today. I miss seeing her on your adventures!
Thanks Nigel! Always love seeing how much thought you put into your processing. I don’t always think about the exact shade of color, and then I’ll see a photo of mine from a couple of years ago and go 😬 that looks kind of purple. Thanks for the in-depth tutorial!
Nigel, as you switched to a new routine and engage in different/new walks of life maybe, would you consider maybe a sort-of Q&A about where you are in your evolution and your plans,etc.?
Thanks for the video! There's so many options in lightroom this video makes a great breakdown and refresher of a lot of amazing edit techniques that some may forget about
Great video, and tips 👌🙂 I started writing down a note with some of the tips you gave, but ended up saving the video instead, as it would be too much to write 🙈
This is a properly cool explanation of how to do this. Thank you! Will have to give it a go. I’m a contrast junkie, so this will be new territory to experiment with.
Thank for this...I have never really used the hsl sliders properly. Plus the way you have shown us how to create those softer looking images in the fog...🙂
I absolutely love your woodland images and this was an amazing training video. Thanks so very much for sharing your techniques. I’m saving this because I can’t wait to try some of these adjustments. I’m signing up for your newsletter 😊 btw……love Pebbles and love seeing her in your videos ❣️
Great tips, Nigel. Mostly in landscapes I have to edit the green tones being too yellowish or too green. You added some very simple techniques to cover this problem.
Brilliant Nigel. Great video and very informative. One thing I wasn’t doing was adding glow to my radial filters. I typically work with the natural colour and tone of the fog in an image but when you have a screen full of it sometimes it’s hard to get a focal point or attraction to them. So stuff to try. Cheers.
Superb video, Nigel. I'm about to edit some foggy scenes from yesterday. Will try that Orton effect too and see it I can stop going to photoshop each time just for that
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and advice. Very interesting even though I don't use Lightroom only CC/Raw. Wonder how to configure your pre-sets ?. Waiting for the next one.
First off, thanks for sharing some of your experience and techniques. I'm still trying to pick a photo-editor; I don't do many photos, so Lr is hard to justify, but is really nice. The only part where you and I would differ, is when you use the gradient to lighten-up an area that recedes into the background. My feeling is that I would illuminate less for the more shallow physical depths than you chose. It just seemed the for the relatively short physical-distance (of the very first scene) the light came on too quickly for my tastes. Anyway, all the rest I found to really be pretty spot-on with what I would feel is appropriate. So, thanks again! 😀
Nowadays i only use LR to make some basic adjustment and then take it into Capture One. I find that Capture One gives me Photoshop level of control with the simplicity of LR.
Great video.. getting ready for autumn shots, and this will help. Question: have you tried using the AI Masking in the presets? I have developed a few that really help with some of my work.
This is anything BUT simple. It’s insanely complex for someone who doesn’t spend 12 hours every day in Lightroom. Negative de-haze? Radial filters? Masks? I’m completely lost.
I was going to have a moan about all these rich TH-camrs having all these expensive Adobe tools when I use Affinity (a birthday present) and Apple Photos because I refuse to spend my limited funds making Adobe executives wealthier each month. But then it’s what you’re doing that matters not how you’re doing it! 😁

Nigel, thank you for another Sunday video. I really missed your photography videos!
Grazie.
Always learn something from your "instructional" videos Nigel. Today it was eliminating true blacks and whites on the Tone Curve. Thanks! Plus, soooo nice to see a happy Pebbles in the mud today. I miss seeing her on your adventures!
I could watch any form of your woodland videos for hours man, editing, on location, hiking, you name it, inject me with it

Yeah yeah, the editing is great but Pebbles is definitely the highlight!
Thanks for the video! There's so many options in lightroom this video makes a great breakdown and refresher of a lot of amazing edit techniques that some may forget about
Super helpful video, as im just starting to edit foggy norwegian november woodlands! Thanks, Nigel.
Another super useful video! Really liked the colour separation technique in particular. Thanks, Nigel!
Great video, and tips 👌🙂 I started writing down a note with some of the tips you gave, but ended up saving the video instead, as it would be too much to write 🙈
I so much appreciate how you share your approach to editing. You open up so many possibilities. You’re a great teacher. Thank you.
Thank You Nigel for another inspirational video! Just thought about editing forest photos and here it is! Very appreciate Your work!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a properly cool explanation of how to do this. Thank you! Will have to give it a go. I’m a contrast junkie, so this will be new territory to experiment with.
Thank you for sharing these tips
Thanks Nigel for showing this on lightroom , I often struggle with woodlands and this is great to learn from.
Fabulous and a huge aha moment about color separation. 14:07 Thank you! Incredible!!
No one can match your woodlands images. You are the master. Pebbles should have been running through that last image, though. Kudos!
Fantastic video, Nigel! Perfect timing too! It'll be so helpful for so many photographers looking to make the most of their autumn photos this year 🍂
Glad it was helpful!
Great. Thanks, Nigel. It’s always good to get a refresher. I hope all is well.
Nice breakdown of some great tips. Carry on. 👍🥂
Thank for this...I have never really used the hsl sliders properly. Plus the way you have shown us how to create those softer looking images in the fog...🙂
The more I try to learn editing like this, the more I realize it's mostly the light on the day.
Just came back from a hike with a lot of fog... Can't wait to try your tricks!
Wow. This is a great tutorial. Thanks, Nigel.
I absolutely love your woodland images and this was an amazing training video. Thanks so very much for sharing your techniques. I’m saving this because I can’t wait to try some of these adjustments. I’m signing up for your newsletter 😊 btw……love Pebbles and love seeing her in your videos ❣️
Thanks for the great tips Nigel. Improving my woodland editing is definitely something I need to work on. I'll be trying your tips out for sure.
Really enjoyed that, thank you! I haven’t used the Intersect tool before so I’ll have a play around with that. 😊
Great tips, Nigel. Mostly in landscapes I have to edit the green tones being too yellowish or too green. You added some very simple techniques to cover this problem.

Nigei, Woods, Pebbles, Editing, doesn't get better than this...
Amazing video. Mostly I do that on PS but its nice to see how Lightroom is enough.
Very helpful, Nigel - thank you very much!
I'm enjoying this video. Very Helpful in my lightroom
Great video, lots of really useful information. Thank you
Superb video, Nigel. I'm about to edit some foggy scenes from yesterday. Will try that Orton effect too and see it I can stop going to photoshop each time just for that
Most of my photos are of woodland and I'm having the same issues you are showing how to fix. Much appreciated.
Great stuff, Nigel.
Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much Nigel!
Thanks for sharing your skills! Learned a lot!

Great instructional video. Now I wish Mark Littlejohn would also do the same video. Love the painterly work from both of you.
I did a video with mark on editing - check it out
@@NigelDanson - Thank you.
Excellent tutorial!
excellent video. thank you
You explain things so clearly ❤
Thank you! 🙂
Good Stuff Nigel
Applied some of this today’s edit. Thank you.
0:30 Pebbles! 😂❤
I love your photos
tx helpful as usual !
Brilliant lecture removed haziness from image processing.
A great lesson! Thanks
I really like this video. Well done Nigel. I agree not all images should have true blacks
Inspiring !
Great video.
Great tutorial Nigel .would.your presets work.on different programs other than light room and PS.
What printer or plotter do you recommend for A3 prints?
Nice tutorial. I have to admit that I prefer it darker (more like original) than the edited version. Goes to show how personal taste effects editing.
It really is down to what you like... Style is exactly that - and different for everyone...
Do you ever use a Wacom tablet or similar?
Nowadays i only use LR to make some basic adjustment and then take it into Capture One. I find that Capture One gives me Photoshop level of control with the simplicity of LR.
Great video.. getting ready for autumn shots, and this will help. Question: have you tried using the AI Masking in the presets? I have developed a few that really help with some of my work.
Yes I have - very useful
I am always wondering which books you are using as a monitor stand 😅
Can't show the wife this. She begin to re-think my photography allowance for nice lenses.
But if you say PS Orton effect is better I would prefer to use this instead of LR preset..
This is anything BUT simple. It’s insanely complex for someone who doesn’t spend 12 hours every day in Lightroom. Negative de-haze? Radial filters? Masks? I’m completely lost.
At the bottom left of the tree there seems to be a cut rock. You don't find these in nature ...
I'd rather watch videos on editing then actually edit. I swear I'm never getting any work done.
Same for me lol

But then it’s what you’re doing that matters not how you’re doing it! 😁
Just to let you know , I 'm done with Adobe, so no Light room.
have you ever thought about renting a fog machine and bringing it to the woods? would this work?
Yes
Fogging up a big open space would require some serious equipment/time, think movie production level stuff. It would simply be too expensive and impractical.
What the heck is going on with your van!!
Ohh, and did Hasselblad cough up an X2D for you too?
Van is in the background being worked on. I already had a hasselblad which I use but don’t show much. But watch this space
Sir, your tutorial is 23 minutes too long, cause the raw unprocessed photo already looks like it is straight out of a fantasy picture book...😲
Many thanks for this Nigel. Been trying to find a tutorial like this for a long time. Thank you for sharing some of your secrets 👍👍👍
