In reply to salsaguy. White Balance and Color Temperature are the same thing so it's been covered in most of these posts at some point.

Matt, can you link the prior and very next episode to each post in the series? It’s distracting to have to go back to another page 3
Pages ago to be able to find the LIST of posts in the series and then be able to click on the very next post numerically bigger in the series. The “you might also like” at the bottom of the page don’t help since those link to 2 or 3 days ahead in the series instead of the very next days article. This would be a big help. Thanks. Also you misspelled “thought” as “though” in your article above. Please correct. Thanks again.

Matt, I’ve noticed in all the posts for this LR ONLY series that you never mentioned ( at least up to this post) adjusting the white balance. I know you are shooting raw but don’t you ever adjust it? Or are you really that good at getting it correct In camera ? Or are you just not mentioning this as it’s an assumed step? Thanks

Thanks a lot for sharing your work and explaining your methods in this blog. It must have been a fantastic experience. Judging from the picture, this must be one of the most gorgeous places of the world. I really appreciate that you have revealed some of your tricks.

In reply to Bill Young. If you have an Apple Mac computer, you might try using the zoom tools, CMD+ to zoom in, CMD- to zoom out and CMD0 to return to original size. This is an OS X feature that works for every application. I don't know if Windows based computers have a similar feature.

Hi Matt,
welcome in Belgium 🙂 when do you come in Liege ?
This lightroom only idea is fantastic and what i also like is that you explain where you are missing photoshop,… and how you can find a trick to avoid using it,…
It is very interesting how you can change a standard image into a beautiful artistic one.

I am suprised you only mention onone suite for a while. Why don’t you never mention color efex pro 4… ? i agree nik suite is awful to use with many independant plugins with lot of tif files in case we need to come back to a certain step but filters are working nice

best regards
marc

This is a brilliant series Matt, learned a lot, especially how much sharpening you use, and the tip for using clarity on B&W’s was great.

Hi Matt,

great job on Day 9. I’m especially amazed by your little trick to hide the white triangle at the top of the picture. Pretty clever!
This definitely makes me eager to check your LR/PS tutorials on KelbyOne 🙂
Have a good day.

Bertrand (from Belgium^^)

In reply to Neil Brink. It adds even more Clarity Neil. It's like Clarity on top of Clarity for extra detail.

Hi Matt,
I do love your January LR5 series – easy to follow and some great tips – Bruges is particularily good – well done mate.
Was puzzled about using the adjustment brush to paint over the whole picture and then increase clarity (under detailed adjustment) How is this different to boosting clarity in the first step? (basic processing)

Cheers
Neil
