I am so grateful to have stumbled on Bert’s site which led me to this one as well. As a novice LR user (and by novice I mean I didn’t even know there were presets before this!) I learned a monumental amount of information from this video. It was just over 12 minutes long but it took me over 3 hours to get to the end because I would stop it and look at David Jay’s stuff, then I googled Sugar and Spice Sepia which led me to a ton of free presets. Once I had them installed I went and messed around with them and edited an entire set of photos before coming back to finish the video. Thank you guys so much for doing this site. I will be back as often as possible. You guys are awesome!

Pieter,

I am touched by your honesty about the mistake of the lightning settings. I learn a lot here and you guys inspire me. Thank you for all this.

Thank you so much for your generosity.

I was hoping you can run a video showing the initial upload of your images and archiving steps before you actually start retouching. I believe this topic is very underestimated in how necessary it is.

[...] und man es so nicht gleich erkennt. Heute habe ich bei dem Projekt squeezethelime.com ein Video entdeckt, dass sehr schön zeigt wie Bilder nach einem Shooting mit Lightroom und Photoshop [...]

Loved the video, would love more of these.

I was amazed how simple post processing was for how beautiful the images turned out.

I just wanted to thank you guys from my heart, as you are REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS. I truly appreciate your videos and the way that you share your knowledge. Your video on post processing impressed me, as you did not hide the fact that some images were under exposed and you showed the COMPLETE BEFORE AND AFTER, VERY NICE!!! Your honesty means a great deal to all of us who are learning from your examples and I am truly grateful for all that you are doing. Keep up the great work guys and I AM A FAN FOR LIFE!!

Pieter, Your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
I was wondering what it is that you like about LightRoom. Why do you use LR first and then transfer to PhotoShop for finishing touches? You said in the video that you don’t like the vignettes in LR, but what do you find better that makes you use it over PS?

Thanks so much for sharing this! I love video tutorial.
I’m just an enthusiastic (aka crazy!) hobbiest and I’ve found Lightroom is really much more intuitive to use than Photoshop … even for someone taking a bunch of pictures of just her family
