I've just published a new video on YouTube that walks through my editing techniques for RAW files. I get asked about how I achieve my look very very often, and wanted to have a simple video to steer people towards.
At last, I have that video :)
My technique is not complicated. Less is more. The key is not to try and use all of the tools, but quickly get a feel for those that do what you need. Most editing software these days are pumped full of "features" that nobody needs. The marketing team needs something to push for sales. My copy of DxO PhotoLabs I bought in 2022 still does the job.
I am often told that I should sell some presets for Lightroom or Capture One, but that's not my style. And honestly, this stuff is way too simple. Nobody needs my presets. What they often need is to watch how simple it really can be, and to get a little encouragement to start experimenting with their own styles.
What I like may not be what you like. And that's OK. I want to teach people to find their own voice, not just copy mine. So please have a look at my video on YouTube or PeerTube. It's got a handful of examples and a truckload full of useful tips. Let me know what you think!
