  3. kendy Derival says

    can you upload some videos with before and after setting and how you edit them for Lightroom, please? I find it a little hard to find the best setting when shooting outdoor with Natural light.​ Really Awesome Channel.. Spent many hours watching daily.

  6. Hung Bodenciao says

    I've watched so many light room tutorial, cant believe this one is much more informational and conspicuous

  7. johan bauwens says

    Why not use a reflector or flash when the model is backlit ?

  8. Legionere says

    Why did you not just go into brushes to correct the rock color?

  9. Joanna Ojeda says

    Great tutorial!! Thanks for sharing!

  10. Idelise Rosado says

    SPLIT TONING!!!  Never even touched it before, but now I understand the meaning and purpose. Thank you.

  11. Megha Kalia says

    hey julia! i only just discovered you and ive literally like spent hours watching your vids and admiring over your photos! i love them soooo sooo much!! but i have a question, since watching ive become obsessed with the 35mm 1.4 canon lens, but i dont really have the money for that. is the sigma 35mm 1.4 still as good as the canon version used on my canon 600D?? need some helppppp thanks!!

  13. Bailey Wooten says

    So whenever you do a whole photo shoot with this one person, do you just copy and paste the edit from this photo to the others and tweak it or do you start over for each photo? I never knew if photographers like to keep a theme to each photo shoot or if each picture could be edited differently

  14. Imiy says

    Who's the model?

  15. Richard Sumilang says

    Is it too late for us to send you photos to critique? My IG is @shootwithrichard if you would like to critique any or the whole feeling of my IG, I would appreciate it 🙂 Would love to send you some 🙂

  16. Matthew Zamarron says

    Great video as always. To sum up, when you took that shot, you exposed for highlights of the background (water) knowing you were going to pull shadows up to bring her exposure back? Does that always work? I’m to the point where I feel like I need strobes to fill light in that situation.

  17. NicPalichPhotography says

    Love the video little tip when using the split toning instead of putting your saturation up you can click option/alt when adjusting your hue and it will automatically make saturation 100% so you can see what the colour is and when you let go of alt it will go back to the original saturation.

  18. The Apple Music says

    Awesome

  19. Celeste Borel says

    Gorgeous final edit!! …I'm wondering if you could make a video where you edit a similar photo as this one (shot for a clothing label) but with 2 different edits, 1 cinematic look and 1 how you would deliver the photo to the client. I would really like to see the differences between those edits. As the cinematic look is a preference style which can't be used for clothing labels because it affects the color of the clothing to much, right?

  20. Gustavo Ibarra says

    Which Lr version is this one, I do have the 6, the very last one before CC and considering the CC Classic…but don't really sure about if it worth it or not , Many thanks.

  21. Daren Sirbough says

    Great video. It was very informative. I take a similar approach and it is nice to see that I have a similar way of doing it compared to a pro like yourself 🙂

  22. Tegan Smith says

    Love this!

  23. alpha.ctutorials says

    Great video once again! The moment I think I know everything in lightroom, bamm I learn something new for ya. I do video and photo editing tutorials on my channel, I would love it if anyone can give me some feedback and possibly show support by subscribing if i'm doing a good job. Thank you!

  24. JTEK says

    This may be off topic but, your mic's clarity is superb. Whichever mic you're using – it's great! Every detail matters in these videos. Also, your background music is at a perfect level. I'm sure you know these things, however I can't even tell you how many videos myself and others have watched with extremely loud instrumentals and built in laptop mic clarity. Thank you for the tutorial!

  25. Gio Alforte says

    No camera calibration? It's a CR2 file. It would have been better IMO

  26. SKN says

    Julia

  27. ACID SNOW says

    Beautiful editing. Thanks for giving as so many great videos!

  28. Medrian33 says

    Great simple and yet helpful knowledge you're sharing here Julia. Thanks for that. I've been following you thoroughly for some weeks now. And I always get excited when a new video from you shows up. Keep up the good work. Thx again

  29. blackjohnny0 says

    no

  30. sourabh mandal says

    Do you use balance slider in the split toning section. I mean I see no use of it.

  31. Yancong Cai says

    Any chance you can make a tutorial on how to use Canon DSLR? 🙂
