Hi,
I've been watching some of your videos and just had to say I really enjoyed them. You take the time to explain very clearly what you're doing and why and I find them very inspirational. Keep up the great work!

Jamie. you are a magician. Well done.

OK !

It is useful information, but it takes too long to watch.

Another way around the virtual copy routine is to simply create a snapshot in the develop module. You can create a snapshot for the edit work or you can create the final version, make a snapshot for it and then reset the original. Virtual copies may be the best approach if you are using PS or external editors. I haven't tried that approach.

It must be so incredibly rewarding to take a photograph and turn it into such a beautiful peace of Fine Photographic Art. I know we're all so appreciative of you being willing to share your expertise with us, to help us along.

Excellent tutorial 👍. Loved the sky select intersected with a radial gradient. Magic stuff.

Very interesting,thank you!

Another great tutorial as always, its good how you explain your process all the way through. Well done.

Thx again for this video. I have been following you for a few months now, and like your approach. I like the way you step thru the edits. Very clear and easy to understand.

Thank you very much Jamie.

Jamie good afternoon. I loved the photo of the train station and all my life I have lived in front of the train station in my city, unfortunately this transportation system no longer exists in most of the country. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and best regards. PS. I follow the Bournemouth matches and the rest of the English football teams.

Nice one Jamie....Great video thank you...Colin Devon...

Jamie, do you have a mental picture of how you want your finished image to look and work toward that goal, or do you just sort of adlib? I struggle with post-processing because I look at the original, and I'm never sure what the final image should look like. Not just transforming an image into B&W like you do but with "normal" processing. Great post, I really like your content!

Thank You

Lovely tutorial Jamie.....I know that part of the world very well but I have never seen the castle shot from that perspective! Great that you provide the raw file so that we can follow along as seeing the image develop on our own screens is very informative. Thank-you

Great tutorial as always Jamie. Love the way you go into extreme detail, but still make it interesting. Always look forward to your videos. Well done.

Once again Jamie excellent work 👏
