Not bad Greg however I feel you missed one of the more important lessons on grad filters. Using them in Lightroom when you actually have a building or a person sticking up into where the grad needs to come down over; so they end up with a dark head. Paint round them, etc. Could you do a tutorial on this?

@funksobravo1 UV filter light loss is imperceptible, not even a 1/4 stop.

whoever uses uv filter on their lenses , dont forget to increase exposure compensation to +0.5 stop. I noticed that when i had pointed my camera to my lcd with filter i got a slower shutter speed, filter reduces light entering your camera .

Thanks for your videos, I am learning quite a bit.

Regarding the gradient color, I notice that the gradient transition is not smooth, is it the video compression that caused that?

@rticknor All you need to do is remove the backup folders from your lightroom catalog, and you will not have duplicates. This will not delete the backups, just remove them from view.

@movania89 yes you can.

@rticknor The only thing I can think of is using stacking and I am not sure that would work either. With stacking the photos must be in the same folder on the hard drive. If I were you I would make sure all of my keywords and changes have been applied to the master set then remove the others. You want one master set of photos to make things easy, not two making yourself wonder which to work from.

In other words I never have duplicate files in my catalogs.
