The video is a tutorial by Piotr MacKinnon on using Adobe Lightroom, a popular photo editing software. The tutorial covers various tips and tricks to enhance your workflow and improve your photos.
MacKinnon starts by explaining the difference between Photoshop and Lightroom. While both are Adobe apps, they serve different purposes. Photoshop is used for more complex editing tasks, while Lightroom is primarily used for organizing and editing photos.
He then demonstrates how to use Lightroom's features, such as white balance, exposure, and correction of horizons. He also explains how to use the HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) tab to manipulate individual colors in a photo.
MacKinnon also shows how to use the masking brush tool in Lightroom to paint different settings onto a photo. This tool allows you to adjust exposure, contrast, blacks, whites, shadows, and more in specific areas of a photo.
He then demonstrates how to crop photos for Instagram, ensuring they are the right size and quality. He also provides a link to a discount for his Lightroom presets.
Finally, he shares some quick tips and shortcuts for using Lightroom, such as holding down the alt key while sliding sliders to see what is overexposed or under-exposed, and using the F key to preview a full-sized image.
