Adobe Lightroom photo editing basics tutorial

A quick video showing the basics of editing a photo in Adobe Lightroom. I'll do more in depth videos on certain areas of Lightoom in the coming weeks. This video is just to show people who havent used it before, what it can do with the simplest of settings.

If you have a photo you'd like me to edit for you or any requests, please leave a comment or get in touch.

Please watch in HD and full screen!

@JohnWilkinsonIII I only shoot RAW, but you can edit jpgs within Lightroom also, you just don't get as much leeway, as there is only minimal data within a JPG to work with.

@dylanonleyphoto. Thanks for the comments. I purposely chose f.2.8 as I wanted the focus to be purely on the curve of the arm of the bench and the rest of the shot to be out of focus A narrower aperture would have ruined this effect. I shoot with a Nikon D700

Is the picture you shot in RAW or can you adjust pictures that are JPEGs?

Great video, would have been very helpful when I first started using Lightroom. I just wanted to say, I love the image, it was framed very well (Maybe a bit lower angle and with a tad more sky) but over all I get this sense of poor focus. If it is possible, I would go back and shoot it between f5.6 and f8. I just wanted to share my thoughts(: Oh and what body are you shooting with?

A nice, basic example of photographic software. Good teaching technique.
