Perfect! The EXPORT settings!

I’m struggling with something in Lightoom. It’s probably obvious but I can’t seem to wrap my head around it.

When I crop a photo it reduces the dimensions, but how do I get the photo back to the original size? In the old days in the darkroom, I would simply enlarge the photo to the size I want and the crop I want.

What am I missing in…[Read more]

How does this look? Is this crop more balanced?

Here is a landscape shot of some mountains. I’ve worked a bit in Lightroom, and enhanced the colors and cropped out the unnecessary parts.

Now in the center there is that haze. What could I do to clear that up? OR Is it just OK to leave it in?

@loki – Can you share HOW you lightened the sky in Photoshop?

Did you use a layer or something else?

I don’t have much experience with Photoshop, just Lightroom and not too much at that either. I’ve been watching lots of videos and picking up some techniques, but I’m always eager to learn from people on an actual photo.

Daniel Krueger replied to the topic SUnset Silhouette in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 3wk, 3d ago

@diripics – Thanks for your note.

I’m really interested in the post -processing lately and I’d like to learn more about what you did to create your version. I’m specifically interested in your yellow layer you mentioned

Did you do that in Photoshop or Lightroom? (I’m guessing Photoshop since Lightroom doesn’t have layers). But how did you do…[Read more]

Hi @loki – what is “topaz denoise”?

I went out again last night and worked on sunsets and silhouettes. What do you think? Is it too much orange? I tried to pull out those few small clouds but I couldn’t get it to look right.

What do you think of the crop?

Nikon D70s

ISO 200, f/16, 1/20th, 65mm

Thanks for all your feedback.

Yes, Fernando, the lens flare is real/natural. I didn’t add it.

I’ve been working and reworking this photo in Lightroom and Nik and coming up with lots of variations.

Thanks Frank.

There are so many ways to edit in so many tools. I appreciate your feedback. I like the simple approach you’ve described. I guess it’s part science and part experimentation! Thanks for the tips. If you have any further information like YouTube videos you like please pass them on!

Here is another sunset photo. I was using an ND-16 filter to capture this and did some post editing in Lightroom. I’m new to sunsets and this one is rather flat. I know there isn’t much to see in the foreground, but it just looks lifeless. Advice on how to improve this in Lightroom? (I do have Photoshop CS3 too, I’m just not very adept at using…[Read more]

Daniel Krueger started the topic Doubling Up Filters? in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 4wk ago

I had a random thought last night. If you double up a 2-ND filter with a 4-ND filter is it the equivalent of an 8-ND filter?

Can you double up an ND filter with a circular polarizing filter?

Daniel Krueger started the topic Leave It, Creative Crop or Photoshop Magic? Need some Help in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 1mo ago

I took this picture about 20 years ago and since I’ve joined this group I’ve met some really amazing people. I was wondering about the lower right-hand corner. I want to keep as much as possible so I’m a little stumped.

Leave it?
Crop it out?
Replace with Photoshop Magic??

Thoughts, comments ideas?

Thanks so much for your feedback!

I ordered a 4 filter set of ND filters today from Amazon. 2, 4, 8 and 16. I can’t wait to try them out when they get here! Keep your eyes peeled for a new post in a week or 2!

Daniel Krueger replied to the topic Sunset, Feedback please. in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 1mo ago

Thanks so much for your response. I appreciate this forum and the feedback that folks give. I really believe that it improves my photography skills.

Two things here.

I’ve been working on sunsets for a few days. I’ve been reading blogs and getting out there and taking pictures. Here is one from tonight. (some post-processing too).
