    Literally every video with Pye consists of him roasting on himself.  It's actually really entertaining. Not in a bad way. But pretty damn funny.

    you have to save them on lightroom you can just look at his and copy what he have then go to save current settings and use lips eyes or whatever you using it for.

  21. MrSHANKS37 says

    Great tutorial, but the problem i'm having is file sizes. When i import my jpegs into light room 4 they are around 5 or 6 MB, but after i do some retouches, and export them, they're down 2.24MB. What are the best setting for exporting my images with the highest quality possible?

  22. Fernando Salazar says

    Where do you get the presets?

  23. John Wang says

    Thanks for the reply. But do you know why when I'm holding down alt I can't use the bracketing key?

  24. PyeJirsa says

    @Dinahhs3 the presets we are using are the SLR Lounge LR4 Preset System, which is available for purchase on the slrlounge website.

  25. Dinahhs3 says

    Love it thanks
    Just one question pls
    The presets that was used are from your website or they come originally in LR??
    Thanks again

  26. PyeJirsa says

    Just using the mouse wheel, you can also use the brackets as well.

  27. John Wang says

    Great Video. What shortcut you use to adjust the brush size while holding alt (subtracting)?

  28. PyeJirsa says

    Kimber, for professional retouching and enhancing, I would highly recommend you turn off the auto-mask. Lightroom auto-masking will often generate edge artifacts around strong contrasting edges where it attempts to "guess" where you are intending the mask to appear. Hence, I always leave it off. If you are trying to do quick and simple effects, then it may be something worth using. But, it is actuall a "no-no" in the studio to use for our client deliveries. Hope this helps!

    Thanks!
    Very informative and instructive. Always enjoy your work.
    Is it my monitor or did the B&W have a slight blue cast?

  30. Soundblasta says
