Fantastic Tutorial with gigabytes of information. Love your landscape videos! Rob Tatham
This is an excellent tutorial and was really enjoyable to follow along with the actual images! Another great job Aaron!
Learning from you is always a wonderful experience..
You are hands down the best instructor. tone of voice , simple pauses and relatability. . easy to watch and a pleasure to listen to!
Great stuff. Two things stuck out for me. I used to do a lot of HDRs but I never realized I could group them, then mass select and process the merges as a one click operation. That’s a fantastic time saver. Second, I just cleaned up a couple of hundred travel shots and … man I really wish I’d watched the last lesson about letting generative fill clean up an image for me beforehand, rather than handcrafting it myself. An aside about dust spots: you can greatly reduce dust spots by never, ever changing lenses with the camera on. The sensor’s a dust magnet when it’s on.
Lots of stuff to learn, and Aaron explains it very well. Having him try (and fail) on a couple of AI ‘searches’ was great too. Thank you so much!
Enjoyed not only the clearly presented information but appreciated the friendly way of delivering it. It feels like I’m in the same room. I’ve been following Phlearn since it was first set up and I can remember Aaron when he had long hair (and briefly, a man bun!)
Learning from you is always a wonderful experience..
Great tutorial! And Aaron, I love your humor! :)))))
Great course. HDR and AI are fantastic tools I am just learning to use. Thanks a lot!
Thanks Aaron. I shoot a lot of multiple exposure images for this reason and until now have had a hard time understanding how to edit well. It’s great the detail you go into and then make adjustments on your adjustments and basically keep it real. Thank you
Brilliant tips. Sincerely enjoy your tutorials. Very easy to follow and to apply in my own processing. Thank you Peter Savage Qld Australia
Aaron, I really like your edits. As you look at an image, you seem to be able to see what needs to be modified to give the image a more compelling representation. I wish I could see this, maybe with time, experience, ? ?
Great look at some new techniques for me.
Brilliant tutorials .. as always.
