Thank you Albert, very useful information and tips. You have a new convert!!
Have just discovered your channel Albert and as a novice photographer (mainly drones and loved your video on this particularly) you have just elevated my post editing exponentially! Thank you so much from Sydney, Australia Kaz
thank you for the kind words Kaz! And you are very welcome of course :)
Great tips, loved the way you adjusted the color of the red sailboat
thank you!
Thanks for the tips, the sky and invert sky mask, as well as the radial mask to change colors, will be very useful for me.
welcome!
About the map module: 1. Use a track app on your smartphone, that is able to export your track to a GPX file. 2. Sync the clock between your phone and your camera. 3. Now, record your track with the app on your smartphone during your photoshoot. 4. Back home, export your track to a GPX file. 5. In LR, go to the Map Module. Choose Map -> Tracklog -> Load Tracklog and select your GPX file. Your route is now showing on the map. 6. Select all images and go to Map -> Tracklog -> Auto-tag Photos Done! All your photos from that shoot are now containing the GPS data. Thank you, Albert, for sharing your tips!
These are so good, I didin't even know all of them!!!
Ah thanks Rutger. Nice to see you here :D
Your approach/presentation is excellent - you have that ability to teach others which is a special talent.
thank you!
I have never seen someone use Tip2 before (max via and sat before adjusting WB). That is super smart. Thank you for sharing!
Welcome!
Very useful tips, Albert. It will improve and speed up the workflow considerably. Thank you very much for sharing them!
welcome!
Some new tips, loved the White Balance tip

This is fantastic content, expertly delivered Albert. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a fantastic festive period coming up, enjoy the celebrations.
Thank you and the same to you!
Thanks for sharing your tips. I learned a couple things. You presented them very well.
The WB tips was nice. Thanks bud
Excellent video thank you 👍
Very rare to find Lightroom tips that are actually new. Very well put together and educational man. Good job and great shots! Keep it up📷🌕⛵
You can connect your phone to the camera. Then every time you take a picture the GPS coordinates are included in the exif data of your picture.
This is very helpful thank you.
welcome!

Heel fijne tips Albert, fijne feestdagen en gelukkig en gezond nieuwjaar voor jullie! \o/
jij ook rob! Zie ik je nog ergens in 2024 :) ?
@@AlbertDrosPhotography lijkt me gezellig, zowel met, als zonder camera \o/
You're the Top Landscape Photographer I have ever seen!!! Sir
Thank you very much. That's very kind of you to say!
Great video and advice 👍🙂
Nederlands? Wel een hele leuke video!!! Heb er van genoten
jazeker!
Bedankt Albert voor het delen van deze tips. Fijne feestdagen voor jou en je familie.
Thanks! Jij ook!
Nice tips! I'll try to apply it to my workflow :)
Love your work Albert.
thank you very much!
Great video, thanks!👍🏻🇸🇪
Thank you for sharing these tips. I am a long term Lightroom user and didn't know about 5 of them!
awesome!
Learned something new today 😊
Thank you gentleman !
Thanks for the tips - particularly Tip 2. I am never really comfortable with my white balance adjustments. I think this will help.
perfect!
Thank you so much! Didn’t know 6 of these! Learned so much new useful stuff!
awesome Mario. Good to hear :)
hanks Albert...Good information....Have a wonderful Christmas Holiday and Happy New Year!
you too!
Thank you for an excellent video. One of the best I have seen. Kudos to you.
Thank you!
Thank you. This is my first time watching your video and I enjoyed your tips.
glad to hear that!
Always a joy to watch a new video from you Albert. Thanks so much for your instruction this year - loved the editing course and highly recommend. All best Christmas and New Year wishes from the UK. 🎄
Thank you so much for the kind words! Same to you!
Thank you for this Albert. I never tire of watching you work. I see other KZheadrs who adopt a trial-and-error method to their editing but you always seem to know exactly where you are going with each image, and of course, you know the best way to use each tool.
Thanks Colin! That's what I aim for. Knowing the road to the end result is important not only for myself, but also if I am teaching.
Excellent tips as always! Cheers to you and the family!
Thanks for another useful course. Again a lot learned from you. Best Christmas and New Year wishes toy you and your friends and family.
Thanks Peter! Same to you and yours :)
Good ones 😊
it is always nice to receive information from you, your way of explanation is clear and easy to follow, it has helped me a lot so far, I wish you all the holidays at Christmas and fantastic photographic 2024
Thank you very much Dennis. Same to you!
Dankjewel Albert voor je leuke tips in deze video, ze zijn altijd welkom, voor jou en je familie ook hele fijne feestdagen en een gelukkig 2024.
Jij ook! :)
I appreciate the tips. I'm new to Lightroom platform and is really handy your video. You got a new subscriber 😉. Cheers
thank you very much Christian!
Great tips! Couldn't get tip 6 to work correctly. The mask did not contain the color adjustments
Goede tips Albert! Ik kende er 2 nog niet helemaal, die ga ik binnenkort eens uitproberen!
mooi!
Hey Albert! Thanks for great tutorial. Actually I'm not using LR but your explanation manner is really sharp and useful.
thank you!
Great tips Albert. I always struggle to refine sky mask when there are busy foreground with trees / mountains etc. Will be helpful if you can do a video on that.
for the really complicated mask I usually go into luminosity masking in photoshop and combine several masks. I will do a more advanced video on that at some point :)
Thanks Albert.
Like the hair cut 👍🏻💃🏻
🤣
Learned a few things here. If I can suggest a request, it would be a video of color science. How to fine tune colors to match etc. You are so brilliant with this in your photos.
I might!
Great tipps again, thanks for that 🙏 May I ask which microphone you use, is it bluethoot? Wish you a peaceful time and a Merry Christmas 🎄
This is the new sony ecm-s1!
informative video on aLR
Some very good points there Albert You think you know all about L/Room and ..... then you don't 😡 Merry Christmas !!!
Same to you!
leuke video en zeker handige tips. ik edit eigenlijk altijd nog met de lightroom mobile op iphone en ipad en de lightroom standaard niet de CC op de mac en er komt steeds meer beschikbaar in beide versies, maar ik begin ook steeds meer te missen wat ik nog niet heb. al vind ik het uiterlijk wel veel mooier. mijn mac ondersteund jammer genoeg de lichtroom CC niet meer, maar als ik mijn computer een update geef is het zeker een ding waar ik nu flink over zit na te denken.
Terrific, and yes not all the tricks were familiar.
great!
@@AlbertDrosPhotography Albert, I just remembered when you had your then new a7Riv in Iceland and I showed you my trick, Brightview programed to a custom button for night photography. We all need to share our tricks!
I don't use Adobe Lightroom, rather darktable. I found ways of using all your tips in darktable. By the way, mask intersecting has been in darktable for several years and is one of the reasons I adopted it as my raw file editor. Thank you for a useful video, I especially liked the negative dehaze.
never tried Darktable. Would love to try it some day.
Worth a try but I found LRC a joy after struggling with darktable for a few years. @AlbertDrosPhotography
Hi new subscriber here, can you make a video tutorial on proper color grading? love your videos please keep it up!
its on the list :)
Thanks! But it seems Point Color allows very limited hue change. Did I miss anything?
Thank you very much for sharing this video, I just have a problem that I do not understand English. I need translators into Spanish. I am Spanish, that is, Mallorcan. When will you put your courses translated into Spanish?
My course online has Spanish subtitles! I think KZhead can also select Spanish subtitles, or not?
Did not know Ed Sheeran had a youtube photography channel
😂 maybe I will do a music video next 😅
I'll be honest, I've seen others talk about using the histogram but I don't see the point. When using the histogram you have to look a little further and pay more attention to see what section you're moving, hovering the mouse over each section. Whereas the sliders have their names right next to them and you can just get to it. I really don't see the advantage in using the graphic histogram over the sliders, being a little slower to do exactly the same job. What am I missing that so many professionals keep talking up use of the visual histogram?
I think most people talk about using the histogram to just see where your exposure is and to make sure you're not clipping the whites or blacks. That's super important in the field. And that's a completely different thing than the little tip I am explaining in this video. The tip I explain here is just a fun way to use the sliders in a different (graphical) way. Not more than that
@@AlbertDrosPhotography Oh, I see. Yeah, I can see that a visual representation of the whites and blacks would be important to catch. Thanks!
for when your courses in Spanish
they have Spanish subtitles now! :)
Another video from a so-called professional that has wasted my time. The title of this video says "LIGHTROOM" yet it is about "LIGHTROOM C L A S S I C" ❗ 👎🏼
