See How a Landscape Photographer Edits an Image From Start to Finish

Of all the genres of photography, landscape photography might be the one in which your final image depends on the edit the most. With such a wide range of editing techniques and creative styles, it can be helpful to see how a photographer edits one of their photos from start to finish, and this great video will show you exactly that. 

Coming to you from Matt Kloskowski, this excellent video will show you how he edits a landscape photo from start to finish. Most tutorials focus on a single technique, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that, but given how you will often apply several techniques and ideas to any single photo to produce a finished product, it can be really helpful to see how a photographer works from beginning to end. Of course, with the often heavy amount of editing that can go into landscape work, it can be very easy to go overboard. Be sure to zoom out often and step away for a moment or two after you finish the edit before you export so you can evaluate it with fresh eyes. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Kloskowski.

Sorry for mentioning: But this kind of video is the reason all landscape photos have more or less the same look. And that became, although well done, kind of boring.

This is all Mr Cooke appears to do for fstoppers; trawl through the internet to source other people's tutorials - exercising no editorial ethos as to their target audiences, integrity or quality.
