Now I've been using Lightroom for almost 3 years have never felt the need to change to another software. I have edited hundreds and hundreds of images, my techniques and pictures continually developed and I was getting happier and happier with the result I was getting. Many People asked my how I edited this landscape, how did I do that etc.. So I figured I'd just make a guide and put it on YouTube and post a text / stills version here. I am sure I have still a lot to learn and there are many different ways and styles and ways to edit landscapes but here I'm just showing you my way, my workflow on how I edit most of my landscapes, keep in mind that what I'm going to show here is a very rough version of my workflow, it would be impossible to to list all detailed adjustments and how I mix different settings together for 1 setting, many thought only 1 slider was for etc.. But still, if you like my style of editing I do to my images this might give you some inspiration, ideas or help you out for your editing :) here the 2 basic steps: (1.) Basic retouching: 1- Bringing down the Highlights, usually quite far, sometimes up to -100 2- Bring up the shadows, usually +100, sometimes a bit less however 3- Bring up the whites until they almost clip (hold down the ALT key while moving the slider to see when they clip 4- Bring down the blacks, I always clip the blacks a bit, I'm not too worried if I lose some detail there (hold down the alt key to see when the blacks clip 5- Play around with contrast, usually I add a bit of contrast, +10 or 20, sometimes more, sometimes i go -20 or even more, just play around with it 6- I usually take back the clarity a bit because the editing above adds a lot of contrast and clarity, this helps to give back some of the softness 7- Playing around with the Vibrance / Saturation, I prefer the vibrance tool because it adds color more subtle 8- Adjust the global exposure if needed 9- Play around with the white balance and chose whatever you like best 10- Play around with the Tint, I add magenta to most of my images, especially sunsets, I very rarely add any green tint there Alright, that is pretty much it! keep in mind that this is a very very basic guide and should mostly give you ideas and explain some of the lightroom features, at the end everyone has a different style, take this as an ''idea'' and less as a ''this is how i'll edit my pictures from now on'' . . . .
