so now we're going to talk about post-
production I'm going to walk you through
a little bit of Lightroom show you my
workflow and then we're going to get
into the Adobe stock contributor portal
where I'll show you best practices for
keywording uploading your images so now
that my shet is wrapped I've uploaded
all my images into my Lightroom classic
library and I'm going to take you
through my workflow a little bit when I
do my post- production I always use
Lightroom classic and that is because it
is the best application for batch
editing and hopefully you have shot with
a lot of variety so you're going to have
a lot of images to upload when I'm using
Lightroom classic one thing I really
like about it is how there's so many
different ways to sort of rate your
photos for example we have a star system
as well as a color system so when I'm
looking through my photos I might start
by putting a one star on every image
that I think is going to be worth
submitting to Adobe stock then I'll go
back in and I'll look at my favorites
perhaps the ones that I really like and
feel like editing first I'll put a color
label on so here's one of my favorite
images and I'm going to walk you through
a little bit of retouching uh one of the
first things I like to do is I have a
basic preset set up these are really
simple things just a little bit of
contrast pop a little bit of Curves you
know super simple things that I would do
to every image um so another thing I'd
like to show you is um something new in
Adobe Lightroom classic which is called
premium presets um these are great as
you can see they have different ones for
portraits and then they also have these
different sort of styles but in this
case I'm going to go with these
portraits that I think look great with
the skin tone of my models today so you
see we have a lot of different options
here some of it just does come down to
Artistic choice but I think that this
one looks pretty good now a few things
to keep in mind um you definitely want
to avoid excessive HDR and filters you
don't want things to be oversaturated
and you don't want faded Styles things
that are too vintage or muddy without
creative intent keep them natural but
polished less is definitely more when it
comes to skin it should definitely have
texture depending on the subject
blemishes can be Central to the image's
message however take the time to clean
up anything unintentional using the
healing tool and this is a really great
feature of Lightroom classic because it
lets you make a lot of adjustments very
quickly so for example we love the way
this looks we love the skin tone we love
the color balance now what we want to do
is apply that to a bunch of other images
that were shot in the same setup so we
click this one we select the others and
we hit sync now that we're in sync we
see that we have lots of options here so
you can adjust things like color balance
you could just adjust sharpening you
could just you know adjust a single
photo or you can adjust a batch of
photos photos but here I think we're
just going to go with everything so I
hit
synchronize you look along the bottom
Here and Now everything that was in our
selection has been given the same
Lightroom classic settings as the first
one I think that looks pretty
good rather than uploading all of your
images as a batch you may want to
consider staggering your posts and
uploading them uh in small groups over
the course of let's say a month that way
buyers have the best chance of finding
your new work and seeing it
titles and keywords play a vital role in
surfacing your content on Adobe stock
here are some metadata best practices
for lifestyle content for photo
illustration and video titles should be
concise 70 characters is ideal although
the system allows up to 200 the title
for this image is smiling mother and son
eating breakfast together include all
the important words from the title in
the top 10 keywords for an extra bump in
search
relevance keyword order matters with the
first affecting search results the most
the maximum number of keywords you can
add is
49 brand names product names and
people's names shouldn't appear in the
title
