4 Ways to Copy Develop Settings to Another Photo in Lightroom

March 9, 2018 By Eric Reagan

Here’s a super short video that shows us how to copy develop settings from one photo to another using Lightroom. I use each of these methods fairly often with the exception of the fourth technique. I can’t say that I’ve ever used Auto Sync – and I can’t think of a time when I’ve ever needed to use it.

How To: Bright Clean Commercial Lighting Setup

May 28, 2017 By Eric Reagan

Check out this short video from Lens Pro To Go that shows us an overview of a commercial lighting setup in a bookstore. It’s a pretty simple setup but is a great example of how to get a clean, soft light setup in a tight space.

While the gear used is high-end cinematography gear, the same principles of diffusion and light placement can easily be translated to budget and DIY setups for both still and video shoots.

How to Create the Cinematic Look in Premiere Pro

January 4, 2017 By Eric Reagan

In this video from Peter McKinnon, we get a look at a pretty basic workflow of creating a cinematic look in Adobe Premiere Pro. Across the series of color grading tutorials in this video, he pretty much lives in the Basic Correction panel of Premiere Pro instead of getting into the three-way color wheels, which we commonly see used for emphasizing color in highlights and shadows.

While not the most complex grading method, I think it’s a great starting point for dipping your toes into color grading and getting good results. Of course, it all starts with good footage, which you need to get in-camera first.
