I recently figured out another way to achieve a softer look, a bit less aggressive and far simpler than Orton effect - I create a Luminance mask in Lightroom and select highlights on the extreme (up to 10% of the scale) with soften edges and then further reduce clarity on this mask. I quite enjoy the results I achieved in a few pictures using this method :) Thanks for sharing Roman!
After watching this video I completely re-edited all 100+ images for my next photo book one of the best video on post processing I have watch ever. I was doing it wrong over sharpening the images. Bravo continue the good work.
Amazing content. I love how you broke down the editing process clearly. Feeling inspired and better equipped for my next photo walk! Thanks, Roman!
I have always wondered how you do that soft look! The last time had been the day before you announced this video.
This is indeed one of the best videos on your channel: simple, yet incorporating your experience. That is a sure sign of a pro, to explain complicated things easily. Nice start for 2023! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for going straight to the point! I learned so much in less than 10 minutes, would love to find a series like this in TikTok.
Hope to see more similar tutorials! I’ve saved this one and can’t wait to try it out
Started off with a great photo, and made it even better. Awesome, can't wait to try this myself.
Thanks for actually sharing this! I have always loved this look in your photos and have actively looked into how to archive it before. Glad to have the info from the source now!
Amazing work, i was waiting for it from a long time , really appreciate your effort and keep it up always ❤️
Fantastic video!
Great format, helped better understand these workflows in editing.
Pure gold. Thank you very much!
I started shooting softer cuz of you, it’s definitely pleasing especially with specific colors.
This was very helpful roman, thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video! Thanks Roman! 👏
Great video and very helpful. I really appreciate your work. Thanks, Roman.
Really enjoyed that thanks Roman 😊
This might be, perhaps, one of your best videos/content. I’ve questioned myself often how to soft my photos in a consistent way without a black mist 1/4 filter or other type of filter and there it is. Thank you 🙏
Awesome tutorial Roman! Cheers!
Oh yeah, I knew this was going to be great content Roman ;) thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us. I really admire your photography. You’re actually who got me inspired to buy my first camera last year, the X-T4. Since then I follow you on Instagram and always watch your videos. I have learned a lot from you. You’re amazing ❤ keep up the good work.
Great content. I love the techniques. It’s why I still shoot film. I much prefer the character of old lenses and film. We seem to have become obsessed with ‘clinically sharp’ lenses. Unfortunately I’m my opinion they lack that special quality which old vintage lenses have.
facts. i shoot all of my projects on a mamiya rb67. nothing will ever beat the look. adding a promist 1/8 filter works relatively well but still doesnt achieve the best look out of camera
Great when you can afford it
Thanks for this Roman
Thanks for the tips! 🙏🏻
Great tutorial !
Very useful for those moments where you dont have a filter for some specific lenses, but, those filters, they still do a pretty good job, and, that process you explained, is pretty time consuming. Those filters, even if quite expensive sometimes, do save you a good amount of time. Also, the flares have a specific look with the filter on, that is pretty hard to simulate.
And actualy, i just saw a reel of a guy braking his lense, but only the filters he had on were broken, so, it seems that filters can actually protect your lense ahah
Thank you Roman for the tipps. I will try to implement them into my editing :)
Outstanding information. Thanks sharing.
Thank you very much for sharing this! I definitely have learned a thing or two here.
love this, thank you!
Great tutorial. Actually helpful! Thank you!
Beautiful shots, and great commentary! subscribed
Thanks for the great tips!!
I picked up a few of these tips from some of your previous videos...thanks for putting it all together. Love your soft style!
Thanks for the clear and concise video. Never thought to use photoshop to further edit my photos, thanks for that tip!
Glad you like it!
Nice, looking since ever for this! Thanks dude
Same as everyone else mate. That was actually pretty good. Thanks.
Nice thing mate, thank you for sharing
That was excellent!
Thanks for explaining the Orton effect, not come across that before!
Another great tutorial!
@2:30 bro this photo will never get old, one of the best I’ve ever seen
Love it. Thanks for sharing and I will definitely try that out although it's a bit too much work for me. Lately I've been shooting with Helios 58mm f2 which gives great soft image out of the box. I love it especially for portraits of my kids.
Such a great secret recipe, thanks Roman
Great explanation here, well done
thanks, great tutorial!
Great video as always 👍 I use LRc (or ACR) and use Texture tool -20 and Noise Reduction +30... keeping sharpening at 42 gives a great softer, less digital harsh look. Thanks
great tips 👍 tq so much 🎉
Tbh I was a bit shocked seeing you just overlay a Gaussian blur image 😳 So dead simple it's almost primitive, but of course exactly achieves the desired effect!
Great video. Bravo! 👍
Thank you bro
That’s great ❤️
Top tutorial!
awesome. thanks!
This topic 🙌🙌
great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge. you have a new follower
Thank you 😊
Awesome tips
Polishing turds is my middle name
The editing as in taking and composing a photo is subjective. Cool video, good editing ideas.
Yep. Mist filter is what i need.
Hi Roman, any chance for a X-T5 set up video? Used your X-T4 one for over 2 years with great success, the 5 now adds alot of new features that make it little more confusing.
Great Video! I know that this is a bit off topic but can you please do a Review of the Sigma 18-50 2.8. You always have a unique and practice take on gear and I think a lot of people will be interested in it (especially as most new bodies now have IBIS).
Nice video and really educative. For Orton effect did you ever use luminar ?
Well a bit of Mousehole and what looked like Porthcurno, oh, and Eren + some good info. Have you ever tried a bit of black Stocking over a lens hood (10 Denier) lol. It works really well when stretched over, just tape it up, and good on Portraits too.
"You can't polish a turd" BUT you can roll it in glitter !
I thought Michael Bublè was a singer, not a photo expert 😁 Good video, mate!
Hey Roman, like your video and was looking to see where the video on light is that you mention. Is it in the description?
Amazing Than ks a lot...
what are your thoughts on sliding the "dehaze" slider to the left in lightroom to get a softer look?
which is better lightroom or capture one? ive heard fuji raws are better in capture one?
the setting "masking" does not appear on reset detail in my lightroom version. is there an other place where i can set the masking?
More editing videos please!!
Ledge, Thank you
hi, what program are you using?
Hey I enjoy the content and am getting into photography. Just some feedback (and it could just be me), but there was some weird harshness in the audio recording, could be related to echo in the room or something else
Specifically it was at the beginning of the video, not sure what it was. Could just be bad phone speakers.
You say, "I've made a very detailed video about light that I've linked below." I'm sorry but I don't see that link. Could you provide it? Thanks!
So straightforward! thanks :)
wow!!!! thank you!!!
hey honey Roman has posted quick! get over here!
Most diffusion filters add an almost Vaseline look which I hate. I pretty much use your exact method in post if I don’t use a filter but 99% of the time I have a glimmerglass 1 glued to my lens regardless of what I’m shooting. I find it’s the only diffusion filter I like as it gives a much more film like halation effect similar to what you’re doing in post.
have you used the tiffen 1/8? thats the one i find the best inbetween of the soft look with decent contrast
@@zip5644 black promist or glimmerglass? For glimmerglass I find a 1 is even less diffusion then a promist 1/8, the glimmerglass 1/8 is almost too weak imo. Regardless I much prefer the look of the diffusion of the glimmerglass as it essentially adds halation and without the same hit to sharpness and contrast applied by a promist.
@@AnthonyJGianotti understandable! i just personally fond paying for the glimmerglass to be not worthwhile considering the effect it has is very easy to replicate in post. i have the promist 1/8 and i feel like it replicates the look of medium format lenses the best considering i use an rb67 and a canon 5d mark ii for my commercial/fashion shoots
@@zip5644 fair enough, especially for fashion photography, I mostly shoot street and landscape. For me there is just something about the glimmerglass that I can’t get enough of and can’t quite replicate in post as the contrast slider flattens the image too much and negative clarity impacts the sharpness too much. It really is worth picking one up to mess around with, I think you’ll be surprised at the results vs the promist. I also shoot apsc now so the extra pixels, better glass and light gathering capability of medium format probably handles the softening effect of the promist and/or post tools better then my current 26mp apsc sized sponsor.
@@AnthonyJGianotti yeah the way i achieve halation in post isnt necessarily with sliders but with filters and highlight masking in photoshop. make the image black and white then select the whites and add a gaussian blur on them and adjust the opacity and then you can go in and mask where exactly you want the effect to be applied. i may try the glimmerglass but from what ive seen with it it just doesnt do *enough* to warrant purchasing you know what i mean
What app do you use for the editing sir
Looks like Lightroom
Thank you
You should do a workshop with a photo walk session doing street photog
OH... Hang on... Step 5 is genius. I use a cinebloom on my 18 f1.4 and it helps too. although you make me question its quality haha
I shoot at 800 iso does your Sony camera have the settings 800 iso?
But you can roll it in glitter😊
Soft look without a Filter: Step 1 - Apply Orton Filter
haha, j/k...........I meant to say "Effect", not filter.
Just joshin. Good video.
do you use any filters to protect the lens? do you use an nd filter for video? 📷🎥
No filters but quite a bit of post. Interesting though. Guess you only shoot raw?
Shoot with jupiter
Step 1: turn down clarity to -15
Done
no filters aka 80% of the video are post processing.
This is not for the weak 😅
Roman. Stop giving away the good tips 🤣...
I use similar workflow except for one thing. I use global filters at the start to get the raw imagine as best as possible...as if the scene was naturally good. Then I apply a similar workflow...I find doing the above reduces the total local masks I need.
Ps. Thank you for your work.
My bro looks like an elf.
its simple put vaseline on the lens
Sorry to break it to you but the editing your doing is a filter
He means a physical filter
After watching this video I completely re-edited all 100+ images for my next photo book one of the best video on post processing I have watch ever. I was doing it wrong over sharpening the images. Bravo continue the good work.
