Masked Cures in Lightroom Classic
Adobe added Curves to the masking tool in Adobe Camera Raw, but has yet to add the same feature to Lightroom Classic. Here's how to cheat and apply Curves using the masking feature in Lightroom Classic, even though it does not have such a feature... we'll just cheat!

Photoshop Color Channels
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
It is virtually impossible to make a visible change to your image without affecting the color channels that make up your image. They literally are your image, but it seems like lots of people don't think about them. I think it's best to know how they work because they are so fundamental to how Photoshop works behind the scenes.
Improving Quality Using 16-bit Mode in Photoshop
Переглядів 3,9 тис.2 роки тому
Once you understand the difference between 8 and 16 bits/channel, you'll have an idea of how it might help improve the quality of adjustments you perform in Photoshop. You'll also learn why 8-bit is often a fine choice to use when opening raw files. Along the way, you'll learn about 0-255 numbers and why histograms are almost always shown at the same size.
What Is Bit Depth and Why Should I Care?
Переглядів 1,5 тис.2 роки тому
Every image you ever open into Photoshop has a bit depth setting attached to it that controls how many colors the image can contain. This fundamental concept is essential to understand how Photoshop works behind the scene and can also teach us a little bit about the evolution of computer graphics.
Intertwined Layers Trick
Переглядів 1,4 тис.2 роки тому
One layer can usually only be completely above or below another. With this trick, you can weave your layers to make it look like they are tilted three-dimensionally without actually using the 3D features in Photoshop. The key is the Layer Mask Hide Effects checkbox (works with Vector Masks as well). But we won't stop there. We'll start simple so you know how to weave your layers, but then I pus...

What Will You Do If Your Lightroom Catalog Becomes Corrupt?
Very informative Thanks
Great lesson. But from a different perspective, I have always used Vanishing point to set the area and use the measuring tool by measuring the known object and set the ruler to that size then measure other objects.
Awesome!!!! it works!!!!
Excellent video! Explained VERY well! Thank you!!
Fantastic job explaining the tool bars in Hue/Saturation.
Very usefull
it's really a struggle to find in depth educational videos like yours. so thanks a ton ❤
Hi Ben, you are awesome ! Just a little question. When you switch off Red channel(say) from the top Layer (by unticking red box in advanced blending mode panel) and blend it with a white layer (underlying layer), you will find that all Red values in the resultant blend come from the underlying layer ! In other words, the removal of Red from the top layer is substituted by the Red values available in underlying layer. Can you explain how does it happen, please ! Regards !
Too good...
I felt like I was watching someone solve math!
thanks. exactly what i need
WOw, I've been using LR for 20 years. Only now do fully understand the histogram and how to set color values
Its a great video. I just dont know what to do, when I dont have a white/black or grey point in a picture to correct the white balance. Is there another tipp pls?
amazing '
My god.... if teaching skill were measured in people, you would be China.
I set LrC to store data in .xmp files for interchangeability with Bridge.
This video is incredibly helpful! I've watched several videos that break down histograms, but none have been as thorough and informative as this one. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos I am so glad I found your channel. You teach the in-depth knowledge of Photoshop that I have been looking to learn and have found no one else on UA-cam who teaches this. I have been binging your videos since I found your channel all day!
Great video
Very good video
amazing. thank you!
Great vid and clear explanation with some really good example uses.
Great tutorial, thanks!
Thank you..! I couldn't be happier with this efficient and super informative tip...
Great video and information, this is definitely a game changer for me! Thanks!
They call me Scooter Grams who loves street and theater photography. As a retired research librarian, I searched for over 5 years looking for a book or video that explains the Histogram and colors understandably. A few days ago I found this video. I need to watch it several more times to let it sink in, but what an amazing find! 1949 Polio Survivor, Scooter Grams! Thank you!
That is just the kind of adjustment nuance I was looking for in ACR. Thank you.
Brilliant!
Who else stood in this exact spot? Got a nice shot.
The difference between convert and assign, I never quite got it before. Thank you.
thank you!
Just a little correction: at the end of the video you say that if you open the image in Ps the numbers don't match cause of the different color space, "unless you open the image in Prophoto RGB, then they will match." This is wrong because the RGB numbers in Lightroom are in percentage from 0 to 100 %. In Photoshop whatever the color space, the numbers are from 0 to 255. Within Camera Raw this is different because the RGB numbers already match exactly to the Color Space you set for the Output, and they are from 0 to 255 exactly like in Photoshop.
I have a measure issue.... Let's say I have a car, and it is 12' long exactly. And I need to mock up some decals... I can 'place' them on the car... but I have no real feel for how long they are when I need to create the real ones. So... knowing car is 12' long, or 144" long, is there a means of creating a special ruler, and designating the nose at 0", and the tail at 144"... and then thus having a measure to scale of the image? Then I'd know the door width was 32"... or 41"... and not be so horribly off. Okay... how do we do this?
Outstanding!
When I select save metadata it just does nothing, last day of the semester and I can’t get my work in :)
Thank you for this tip, I have learned a lot!
Thank you. Your videos are more educational than any others I have seen on youtube over the years on the fundamentals of colour theory , bit depth, channels, etc. You have a gift for explaining concepts in an understandable and comprehensive way.
I like how instead of teaching us how to understand a multicolor histogram you just comment on the histogram
So, I tested the 32bit mode by merging 2 images with the top layer at 50% and I noticed that compared to 16bit mode, 32bit mode looks a bit too bright, like it's more than 50% because the lower layer is harder to see, especially in the bright areas.
Very useful video, thank you for that
❤
I love how you say "What the heck...?" in every video 🤣🤣
Loved this never knew about the numbers before. One thing I would like to also know what numbers are you looking for printing so you are not printing pure white or pure black? Thankyou for your time.
This is an amazing tutorial!!! Thank you for your guidance!!!
AWESOME! So useful, SO clever. Thank you SO much!!
Excellent explanation about what is going on. Thank you for giving it a name, “edge mask.”
Hello Ben, thank you for a great lesson. If I want to scale an item/ specific shape of an item on a image a real life measurements using photoshop, and the item was not exactly square or rectangular but has an odd shape but i can still measure its width and height. Could you please advise if I can apply your technique or would i need to learn to do it in a different way? Thank you so much
Hi Ben, thank you for this video! I'm running into the issue with the (Exclamation without the box) or "error writing metadata" that you discuss. This started last week when I updated to the newest Lightroom Classic 13. I've never had this happen in years of using Lightroom. I also recently started using a new external SSD, but it is happening on the old one as well. When I click "Retry Metadata Export", it creates an XMP file (which I would prefer not to have). I do NOT have the "Automatically write changes into XMP" box checked. Regardless, even after creating an XMP file, it looks ok for a while, then it shows the exclamation point error again. I can see all my raw files, nothing looks like it is missing, and I can still export with my edits -- yet it keeps showing this error over and over, randomly. Not to all photos, just some of them. I cannot figure out what is happening. I tried talking to Adobe, they had NO clue, and seemed like they didn't understand it at all. If you have any suggestions, I super appreciate it!
Hi Mandy, i've got the same problem. I think, it has something to do with editing the smart previews instead of the originals. Maybe a LR bug???
Great in depth explanation of how things work instead of just showing the technics. Super helpful.
