Thanks for reminding us that we don't need to be perfect. Makes editing more fun and relaxing.

Well done Matt. It is so true that you have to think outside of the box. It really shows that can't have enough Start-2-Finish examples to drive a point home.

Matt, another great video. "Put down that brush !" I needed this. I want to compliment your bird photography, another level ! Just started shooting birds this year and it's a lot harder than it looks !

Really excellent video Matt! You just 💥 my mind. There are always more ways to skin the cat. Thanks!

Matt, simply brilliant! Thanks a lot for sharing.

So happy to find this video! This is something I have struggled with. I think I had some settings wrong, but emulating your screen fixed the problem. I've learned that if I have a problem, just go see if MattK has a video somewhere!

Excellent. I've been editing with these tools for a long time and never thought of what you just demonstrated. Thank you.

This is the second video where watching you use the feathered edge of the brush taught me and reinforced a new technique.

Love it! Thank you. "work smarter NOT harder".

Matt, your videos are always flipping amazing. I love finding out how to use LRC better than what I have previously known.

[jimsmith]

Great demo and advice Matt. I agree with not trying to be perfect since it would be so hard to achieve, and may look edited. Feathering is my friend.

Great presentation. I dove into bird photography a year ago and these methods of masking will save a lot of time. I appreciate you sharing your expertise.

Just cleaned up the bleed between the wingtips of flying ducks using subtract sky. IT Those BIF shots are going to be rescued. Thanks Matt.

That was brilliant! We are all guilty of trying to do the “correct thing” and don't take the time to explore the “what ifs” and find a process that actually works better! Well done.

G’day, Matt. I’ve been following you off and on for what must be over 10 years. I’m loving you’re latest videos. They’re realistic. So often you see someone should a technique, try it, and only to find that it doesn’t work on your photo. Because they’ve used the perfect photo to show off the technique. But you’re showing real world examples. As a wildlife, mainly birds (osprey) and landscape photographers I’ve really appreciating your videos. Thank you.
