Oh man, oh you will forget, oh my dear, who are these alaim? Who are these alaim? Oh man. Now I'm just doing too much. What up, it's your girl Minna. Welcome to my channel. I'm so glad that you're here. If you're not already subscribed, make sure that you do that. Today, I want to talk with you. Look at me, I'm doing a lot because I have on these rings, and I want to show you. That's all. Nothing more. Today, what are we talking about? We are talking about how I edit my videos. It's a one-step process, literally. Back in the day. Oh, here I go. I used to do a lot to my big jars, you know, on Instagram or before putting them on in. Before putting them on Instagram, I used to do quite a bit. I used to upload it into Lightroom and then apply my filter. Then I would upload it into Facetune. I would whiten my teeth further. They're already white, but I would whiten them further. I would whiten the white part of my eyes. I would put detail on my eyelashes. Maybe my eyebrows. Definitely my highlight. I would smooth out my skin, even though just gonna pat myself on the shoulder. I would do a lot of skincare routines and stuff to my face. If you are following that Instagram and you already know this. If you're not following that Instagram, make sure you are. I do a lot of skincare stuff on there. And I'll bring it to my YouTube as well, but it's already there. Lots of videos and things there. But I used to smooth out my skin even more. I would darken my eyeliner. I might put detail on my lips. If I had a gloss on or something like that, I would smooth it depending on what I was feeling or whatever. And sometimes I would detail my hair or my jewelry. And then I would upload, Yo, the pictures were immaculate, okay? And that just isn't the vibe for me anymore. It takes way too much work and it's too fake. Ever since I got this new lens about three months ago, the quality of my content is out of this world. I still use my Canon T6i. I've had that for like five years now. However, I have a new lens. It's a Sigma 15 millimeter f1.4. It's such a tongue twister. I'll link all this below in case you want to grab it. I'll look at it, right? Very pricey, but so, so worth it. If you've even found that Instagram for some time, you know when this shift happened. Like it was clear, literally and figuratively. So I don't need to do all that anymore. And not to mention, I'm just so sick and tired of it. It takes, it used to take me so much effort just to get a picture ready to upload. Like who has the time to sit and take 30 minutes to edit, like 10 pictures and then upload it? I don't have the time. So now when I take pictures from my camera, when I'm sitting right here in my studio, I, and I have my settings, the way that I need them to be, like them to be based on my room, based on my lights, based on my skin tone, based on the window in front of me. So I have my settings on my camera based on that. So it does not help for me to show you my settings because it's based on my setting, like literally where I'm at, okay? So once you get the setting right, like once you do now that down and get it the way one to be grand each day, I might tweak it from time to time on my desktop, I might maybe increase saturation or increase the contrast, decrease the contrast, whatever changed the ISO, all of that. But since that's perfectly ready to be, literally when I take a picture on this camera, when I'm sitting right here, when I do a makeup and I'm like, taking my thumbnails or whatever, when I sit here and take the picture and I download it and send it to my phone, I do nothing, nothing to the picture. I don't know, it's just amazing. I just have it the way that I want it, pre-production so that when I produce the picture and then download it, there is literally nothing that I have to do post. There have been times where my picture has been too bright, like exposed, so there are times where I've had to lower down the brightness, but literally that is all I do when I'm taking pictures on this camera. When I use my phone, then I will put my picture into light-room mobile. I've got a preset from Marca Evans. She's a photographer in Dallas, absolutely amazing. She sells presets, so I bought her preset over a year ago and I use that all the time. And the great thing about it is because I know how I want my pictures to look literally from the pictures, like the pictures that come from my camera and then the pictures that I actually end up using her filter for, they look almost the same. Because in my mind, I just know what I want to look like, so when I chose her preset, Brandon, I have changed some of the settings in light-room mobile, what you can do, and she encourages it based on what you like, and I've increased saturation in different contrasts and different kinds of things. But that preset is literally the only one that I use and I won't alter it based on the picture and based on what I need. So I use that when I am editing pictures that I've taken on my phone or that I've taken on my Canon G7X. It's not next to me, I wish I had brought next to me, but when I use my Canon G7X, which is not often because I usually use this camera, when I use that Canon G7X, then I do need to edit the pictures because that I can't set the way that I can set this camera that I'm using right now. So it's a one-step process. Literally, I download the picture into my phone, upload it to light-room mobile, press a few buttons, like I'm showing you here, and then literally save it to my camera roll and then I upload it to later, which is what I use to schedule my pictures or leave it on my phone and then just upload it whenever I feel like it, but that is all that I do. So no need to smooth out my skin, no need to detail my lashes, no need to detail my highlight. This camera does all that for me and it looks so good. Like this lens, it has transformed the quality of my pictures so much so that I barely use my phone for pictures because the quality is just not gonna be the same, it's just not. So all this to say, you need to get a preset, I would say, if you wanna, if you ask me, everyone needs to get a preset, it just helps to make your whole page cohesive based on what you like and you can always change your preset and get a few that coped in each other and you can use that. This camera, like I mentioned, is very old. You just need to change out the lens every now and then and this is a beautiful, beautiful lens, pricey, but well worth it. Light-room mobile is free, so you should download it and then you upload the preset to it, it's very technical, you definitely just need to follow the instructions from the person you buy the preset from. There are presets on Etsy, obviously photographers have them and so on and so forth. So there are presets everywhere and you can buy them from whoever you want to. You can buy as many as you want. You can use as many presets as you'd like. It is up to you. If you still wanna use FaceToon, go for it. People still do that. You can use all kinds of different apps to like slim out your face, hiding your cheekbones, make your head more narrow. I don't have time for that. Who I am is who I am. What I got is what I got and that's what y'all gonna get, okay? I hope that answers the questions that I get all the time about how I add in my pictures and then also what tech I use. There it is right there. Hopefully this video was helpful, comment and let me know if it was. Give me a thumbs up, make sure you subscribe, as always, glad you're here and thanks for watching.
