Yeah, I probably should have done some more back and forth between the no-reflector + reflector. I was a bit worried about the running time though, keeping it short and sweet.

Well explained tutorial for beginners. Clear and short. One thing I would do is to show the original-without-reflector, again, right after the Edited-with-reflector and do that 2,3 times so as to really see side-by-side the before/after effect. Does that make sense?

The duration of the slides, as mentioned above, isn’t as important for me because you can just hit pause if you want to see it longer, but going back and forth on the timeline is annoying.

Great simple video! As far as the editing technique goes, anyone claiming he is doing something “wrong” should be posting a link to their work which shows us the “right” way to edit a photo.
Editing is a very individual thing, you might not like it which is all good, but that doesn’t mean it’s done in a way that is wrong!

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw the first photo edited. It’s not just you… The LR edits were ok but the PS edits didn’t do it for me and I felt they actually made the photos worse…

Nah you right. Blown out. That brown filter harms the shot IN MY opinion. His originals are very nice though. He needs to just leave them as is because they look NOICE!

Not trying to be preachy Jockemon, but
keep in mind that post production is just as stylistic as any other part of this art. While there are definitely wrong ways, there can literally be hundreds of “right” ways of producing an image, to say an image “should” be done a certain way is rather presumptuous. I produced
these based on my vision for the scene having a slightly vintage feel, I am sure some would agree with you, while many wouldn’t. Also, remember that screen calibrations
make a big difference in what you see. On our studio’s spyder calibrated
displays, they are not blown, nor are they in their print form.

RE JOCKEMON — I think your the only one! Editing is part of the reason why people pay me.
