Lightroom has a lot of powerful tools to help you accomplish your creative vision, and this helpful video tutorial features five great tips to make sure you are getting the most out of them.

Coming to you from Serge Ramelli Photography, this fantastic video tutorial features five helpful tips for creating better landscape photos when working in Lightroom. Lightroom offers a lot more editing versatility than most people realize, and it can a lot more efficient to finish a photo there than to send it round-trip through Photoshop. No matter where you edit, however, one important thing is to remember not to take things too far. It can be really easy with landscape images to do things like over-pump the saturation and end up with a rather garish result. Taking a minute to step away from your computer after you're done editing and return with a fresh eye will help you make a more objective evaluation before you export. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Ramelli.
