    Don't use LR much but your videos inspire me to. Thanks for the tips.

    Purchased the retouching course and am new to Photoshop and portrait editing. I know this was a few years ago not sure if things have changed inside of the program in PS 2023. having issue saying "The command “Select” is not currently available." When trying to use the action provided. Please tell me a workaround or the proper way to make this work. Thanks

    I know this is an old video, but do you prefer lightroom or lightroom classic? Trying to get more into photography and a lot of people say classic is better. Banger video BTW!! You make it seem so easy and fun

    Lightroom and photoshop are all you need. Luminar, portrait pro, and all the others are just fodder.

    What’s the difference between how you use blur and painting on the blur on light room? Isn’t that just adding a step to go to photo shop? I do the same thing just all in light room painting the skin smoother essentially

    Does Lightroom provide a way to edit on a full-fledged chin strap beard? If not, forget it!

    What are your export settings for social media? When I export and post on social media, it always comes out low quality. (I am fully aware of IG compressing the photo.) But when I look at your photos and other photographer's photos on IG, they came out crispy and sharp! I export to JPG using the new Lightroom on the best quality. Anything I am missing? Any help is appreciated.

    How much time should someone spend editing photos? One or a bunch.

    Manny that laptop is $1900, do you have something us beginners can get our hands on for way cheap than that. Would you do a challenge and buy a budget laptop that you can do photo editing on for less than $400?

    Hey Manny what do you think about the adobe subscription model for amateurs? If i do this, ill be paying lots if i use it for about 10 years or so…

    Big fan of your channel. I asked this before, and it was a serious question. Why do people edit their photos and change the colors? I truly don't get it. I remember seeing your great photos from Turks and Caicos, but your original unedited photos looked great. I didn't understand why you changed the water color. I see all the YouTube photographers essentially changing the colors in their photos, but I don't get it.
