the masking tips were really game changing

This is one of the best Lightroom editing lessons I've ever watched and over the years I must have watched well over 50 videos specifically on the topic. I've been using Lightroom for about eight years and before that Apple's Aperture. Your descriptions are informative and your pacing and tone of voice are pleasant. Thank you Adrien. I've subscribed.

I’ve used a lot of Lightroom and still learned some new tricks.
The shift double click on a setting
And the creating lines/cones with the radial gradient was cool.

[kvngco]

appreciate how clear you are when walking through your edits and why you're doing them. the shift double click and mask tips 😲

[RohannvanRensburg]

Thank you for this. I've watched many editing videos and few tend to give detailed explanations beyond "I like this" or a simple description of what's happening. Love your street work!

[robtorres]

This is easily the best photo editing tutorial I've watched with no "gatekeeping". Typically you see these videos and the author of the video would start with a preset and then tweak from there.

The approach you took allowed me to walk away with some knowledge that I can apply to my own photos.

I personally don't like preset for entire photos, I create presets for specific jobs/tasks and apply them as needed when editing photos.

Thanks for the effort you took to put this video together!

[Chris-wcci]

Thank you so much! I often struggle with the order of the settings and now I will try yours to get some photos done!

I really love your editing style, it's so balanced between stylisation and naturalistic editing, you really success to get the best of those two things !

[AlDarweesh]

The best presets I have ever used; I consistently use them for my photos as well. Highly recommend! Another great video; a lot of lightroom hotkeys I never knew about.

[KevinMaschke]

Superb video! The masking tips, especially the one with the brush and using shift I had never seen! That's so awesome 😲😲😲😍

[acheekymonkey]

This is an excellent Lightroom tutorial. Thank you very much! Creating a Tone Curve pin point on the subject to "lock" it was an inspiration for me.

[jamincatalan]

This gave me hope in keep practicing my editing

Great tutorial Adrien, enjoyed it. Thanks. I've learned something.

[mxderntimes]

Good shit! Learned a few things I had little to no practice with yet such as masking, and those neat shortcuts with the tone curve. It's nice to get just a few picture glimpse into the mind of people who's photography you admire and look up to, thanks for taking the time!

[Fabitalism]

Nice! Future Videos Idea: Would love to see a video how you organize all your shots, where you store it, how your LR catalogue is set up.

Not going to lie, I keep rewatching this so that I remember all the different ways of using lightroom. I also keep rewatching it because it is fantastic to fall asleep to. Adrien, if you ever need a second source of income, look into ASMR.

greatest break down video ive ever seen on youtube. thank you

[evgenygalanin]

Your screencast is perfect!
Thank you so match. I erlier didn't think about using all cuves as one tool for regular contrast - this is really great method.
And I can piece of advice for you about remove chomathic abbarations - you can expand all setting lens (manual setting in the second bookmarks) and can regular settings for your specific lens or photo.

These tips felt like something i needed really bad, I can already see improvement, this video is awesome! and you're awesome too!

The cone shape is literally a cheating code. Blessed to be here.
