TUTORIALS - THE COMPLETE WORKFLOW SERIES - LESSON 2: SUNNY FORESTS

Title.jpg

Editing forest images doesn't have to be difficult, time consuming or complicated. I've spent a lot of time refining and simplifying my workflow and this is the result! Learn how to transform your forest images quickly with these key concepts:

​

  • Keeping things simple

  • Emphasizing and creating separation between foreground and background elements

  • Building, creating and controlling atmosphere

  • Using luminosity masks to maintain texture and contrast when dodging

 

This is the first of at least three start-to-finish tutorial videos for forest images. The second video will cover a rainy scene, and the third will cover a foggy scene.
 

A 6mp RAW file is included, and you can choose to download the video in either 1080p or 1440p!
