Everything You Need to Know to Edit Landscape Photos in Lightroom

Creating a compelling landscape photo takes good technique, knowledge of weather and light, planning, and, often, a lot of time and effort. And after all that, it takes strong understanding of post-processing and good taste to produce a finished product. This excellent video tutorial features an experienced landscape photographer who will take you through how to edit a landscape photo using Lightroom.

Coming to you from Perea Photography, this helpful video tutorial will show you how to edit a landscape photo using Lightroom. Though we often think of Photoshop as the place to edit images, you can accomplish quite a bit in Lightroom, particularly in the newest versions with their advanced masking features, and it is much more convenient to finish a shot in the same place you catalog it. If you are newer to editing, the thing to remember is that less is more. It can be easy to overdo it, particularly with things like color saturation. Generally, it is best to err on the side of doing less. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Perea.
