The last one of these was well received, so here’s another batch of high quality photography related videos that I have found on YouTube. Just a bit of inspiration, a bit of knowledge and a bit of humour for good measure. Happy weekend, guys.

Compressing RAW files to 90% in Lightroom

Greg Benz is an extremely knowledgeable photographer with a high quality channel and if you aren’t subscribed to him already, I strongly suggest you do so. In this video who walks through the steps of converting native RAW images to DNGs for potentially massive hard drive space savings.

What Using Adobe in 2026 Feels Like

This is gold. Say no more.

Fixing Contrast in Black and White Photos

Great video by Jeff Ascough walking you through fixing contrast in black and white photographs without using the contrast slider. I’d also like to point out that he’s not really touching the gimmicky AI masks – just an old-fashioned brush for far more natural results.

I’m lucky enough to live in a place with a very low Bortle (light pollution) score (just 2.0. on the scale) which means I can shoot great astro photography without having to travel.
