https://makertube.net/videos/watch/47fa6d1e-767d-4ade-8b48-ef0d38eea949 G'day all 👋 Back at it with another Photomator edit — this time a macro RAW I shot about a month ago at Lake Daylesford, Victoria, while I was out with the family. Two beautiful mushrooms leaning into each other like they're hugging and kissing, with a single rose petal that happened to land right at their feet. I nearly removed that petal on the day… glad I didn't, because it's the whole story. In this one I walk through my full RAW workflow: nailing the composition, isolating the subject, working the highlights and shadows, grading with the 3-way colour tool, pulling the pink out of that petal, a bit of healing/cloning (and a chat about how far is too far with AI retouching), then darkening the background to make the mushrooms pop. I finish by exporting both a JPEG and a full 16-bit TIFF at original size. A quick note on my setup: I edit in Photomator on my Mac but mirror the display onto my iPad because I love the colour grading on that screen. I keep everything on my own NAS rather than the cloud — I just prefer having my files local. 🍄 I still haven't identified these two — if you know what they are, drop it in the comments, I'd love to know! 🖼️ Prints & full-resolution 16-bit TIFF downloads available on my website: 👉 https://samuellison.com/store/cmqeqi2v8000ynpm045w12d0c 📷 Follow along: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/thesporetrail/ Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/thesporetrail 🛠️ Software: Photomator Pro 💾 Storage: Local NAS (Synology) 📍 Location: Lake Daylesford, Victoria, Australia #Photomator #RAWEditing #MushroomPhotography #MacroPhotography #Daylesford #LakeDaylesford #Victoria #FungiPhotography #PhotoEditing #iPadEditing #FineArtPhotography #NaturePhotography Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:09:41 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://peertube.art3mis.de https://peertube.art3mis.de/lazy-static/avatars/c1a3d359-5d41-42e1-a5fe-a2114235995f.jpg https://makertube.net/videos/watch/47fa6d1e-767d-4ade-8b48-ef0d38eea949 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://peertube.art3mis.de/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
