    thanks for the peak behind the curtains, unpacking the roles of those tools definitely helped demystify what I'd always try to do based on intuition-your soft look is clutch. I'm almost done with your video course from Black Friday, and it's honestly the best value of pragmatic info I've come across in ages. Keep it up mate! – your friend from the States

    Nice tutorial but the easiest way for softer skin tones IMO is a good mist filter and/or a quality vintage lens. Saves lots of time in post too ๐Ÿ˜Š

    What would you say the main difference or selling point for your new preset pack vs old preset pack is?

    Always really nice to see how other photographers approach post processing images! If I may ask, what do you do with Sharpness in the Details panel? I know some photographers turn it off completely to achieve more "softness" in their images.

    Super helpful video, Mitch! Out of curiosity, what picture profile do you typically use when shooting portraits on the A7IV?

    Carlo Obrien, you, Gerard Needham..i see some lack of contrast in your edits or presets, totally opposite of what is custom in Europe…it's your style if you like it and poeple love it, don't change, but time to time try something different…when i edit images i always think: How this would look like in 20 years not what is now, would they frame the picture? and if you like softness or faded look, try combo GLIMMERGLASS 1 OR BLACK SATIN 1/2 with tiffen smoke 1 or 2
