In this week’s episode, we discuss seven beginner steps to edit better landscape photos in Lightroom. When I was first starting out in landscape photography I remember feeling overwhelmed by the many photo editing tools and options available within Lightroom. Probably my biggest source of confusion stemmed from my inability to determine where exactly to begin the photo editing process. I figured since every photo was different that every editing process would be completely different as well.
In this video, I review the seven editing steps I use today on every landscape photo I edit in Lightroom. The best part about this workflow is that it's easy to remember, highly repeatable and can be applied to any photo that you edit. Once you apply this seven step workflow to a few of your photos at home, you'll soon be able to move through this process fairly quickly and feel confident as to the edit you're applying to your photos.
If you're a Lightroom beginner and just starting out on your photo editing journey, I hope you'll be able to pick up at least a couple tips from this video that you can apply to your landscape photography editing workflow moving forward.
If you enjoyed this video, please consider giving it a thumbs up and let me know what you think in the comments below - I guarantee I'll get back to ya.
Thanks for watching everyone!

Mark, at 80, I have been a photographer for 65 years. My first photo contract was in 1956. I have taken classes in every phase of photography since those early days. As you can imagine many, many things have changed: I no longer mix raw chemicals to process film; shoot, I don't even use film; I used to carry a Speed Grafic on my forearm (now I realize my Nikon 600 & 300 weigh nearly as much ). I spent much of my career managing companies in aerial and satellite photography. So, now retired I am learning all over again and your insights, garnered in a short timeframe are both inspiring and A great re-awakening of the photo-spirit that has driven me all these years. THANKS

@Eurena97 3 года назад

Robert, many young photographers like me want to learn from how photography was done back at your day! I think you'll also be successful by teaching people everything you know! Your experience has enormous value. Best!

@crazygooseventures 4 года назад

Exactly the video I was looking for. One of the best tutorials I’ve seen on LR. Thanks so much!

@lawrencegwatkinsv7501 4 года назад

This video was super helpful. After going back over past edits starting with these steps I feel like I have definitely been over-editing. Thanks for the good advice!

@gibsonwashere6005 5 лет назад

Thanks for this video. I like your work flow and plan to adopt it.

@dalemartin6828 5 лет назад

You and I have a very similar editing process. Though I usually stay away from tone curve because I don't understand it, but you taught me a little something with it in this video. Thanks for your time today.

@marielmumm5332 3 года назад

This video was seriously the most helpful thing I’ve watched, and I’ve watched A LOT of tutorials. Thank you for really breaking down the steps and not breezing through them, and for explaining your flow and the order you use to make adjustments.

@rawhasan1180 3 года назад

Great tutorial! Loved the workflow. Matches what I was doing so far, which knowledge is improved a lot now. Thanks for the tutorial, Mark!

@icescorpion3114 3 года назад

i really love your videos. especially in this one i learned a lot about Lightroom! Thx for that!

@frankleap 3 года назад

Another great video. Thank you! You explain everything so very well and I greatly appreciate your time and efforts!

@LindaMcMahon1111 2 года назад

This is a nicely done video, Mark. The pace was easy to follow and going through two images helped to illustrate your process. It is basic but still powerful. Thanks.

@aaronjackson2275 3 года назад

rk, this has helped me so much, having these starting 7 points will drastically improve my editing workflow, also i watched the beginners mistakes, and i definitely do at least 3 of them, Thanks so much for the honest content :)

@ksnmurthy4476 2 года назад

Thank you mark. I just noted the steps and want to follow them. Thanks for making the post process easy and not intimidating. 🙏🏽

@runningwithscissors3280 Год назад

I took notes :) Love the tip about Shift + double-clicking on the sliders in the "Basic" drop-down options. Excellent Sir!!!

@markledbury3666 3 года назад

Thanks Mark, for this great video. I found it very helpful in figuring out how to begin editing/processing a RAW photo. Thanks again!

@captgw 2 года назад

Great video! Really made it easy to understand. Can’t wait to try this method.

@ralfhedin Год назад

Yes! I have been looking for precisely this kind of description of an easy process for the workflow, to get some structure in how I use Lightroom. Tnx a million!

@KaiserTLC 5 лет назад

Preparing my trip to Scotland I find your videos extremely useful. Thanks a lot for your helping me improve my photography. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina

@whunt29708 5 лет назад

This has been very helpful as I've been struggling on where to start and what's a good workflow. I don't use Lightroom but rather Paintshop Pro but I feel I can find most of similar adjustment tools. Thank you.

@Kevin-ve3dh Год назад

I always been fantastic with landscape photo and wildlife specially the pictures that just stand out . Now i have decided to take a photograph course to get more in depth with it . Watching your short video been a real help . Thank you

@catherinehouy3731 2 года назад

Thank you for explaining these different functions in a simple, organized and thorough manner.

@wildinourways 2 года назад

Thank you so much for making these. As a newer photographer editing has been my absolute highest challenge. I appreciate your making of this video and any tips tutorials I can get.

@michaeldavis2818 4 года назад

I just made the jump to Lightroom and your videos are incredibly helpful Mark! Thank you!

@summerlakephotog8239 3 года назад

I’ve worked for years in Lightroom and photoshop. After stopping all photography for three years, I was amazed at how much I had forgotten. What you don’t use, you lose. This workflow felt like a great way to begin again - very simple and straightforward. Excellent instructional video.

@jodielou 3 года назад

Best Lightroom tutorial I’ve found!! So many go to the hard stuff strait away and here I am playing with the fine curve, had no idea you can use Lightroom suggestions to help. No longer want to give up on my little hobby

@markmanning007 3 года назад

Thanks Mark for a great instruction video. After finally retiring from my paid work, I can start to work on my real passion! Just knowing the sequence of application enables you to move ahead and capture what you really visualized!

@gamnis 5 лет назад

You have been a HUGE help and motivation for me since I decided to get more serious with my photographing. You have such a nice rhythm in everything you want to tell and you post really relevant videos. Thank you, Mark!!

@gpg5033 5 лет назад

This video really spoke to me. I am a new photographer and I've always accepted the way my photos looked straight out of camera as I didn't know where to start. Now here I am 5 edited photos later in the middle of the night. Thank you

@ekaruna42 3 года назад

I don’t have lightroom but I’m a complete beginner wanting to learn how to edit my photos. This gave me a really useful structure and starting point that I can apply to other software too. Now I have some idea of what I’m even supposed to be doing in the first place. Thanks!

@markymark3916 3 года назад

One of the best instructional easy to follow tutorials. It has vastly improved my photos. Thank You

@glenclarke1294 Год назад

This is mega helpful. I’m really grateful. Thank you very much.

@mitchkite9354 3 года назад

Thanks for the suggested editing sequence. That is my biggest struggle to figure out what settings to apply and when in the process. My flow has been more trial and error and causes frustration. I will start with your process and fine tune from there.

@ionutvlad 3 года назад

I iked a lot this video! Simple, easy to understand, but great and usefull! Thx Mark!

@jenmaguire7824 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this simple explanation for beginner lightroom editing. I have watched many videos and yours is by far the best and most explanatory. I been using an old app on my phone called Aviary and prior to that I used their website back about 13 years ago. I have graduated to lightroom but find it hard to maneuver through and understand which steps to do when. This simple explanation helps tremendously so thank you!!

@chris___howland___photography 2 года назад

Thanks for this video. I watched it again on my laptop so I could write the steps down. I also just signed up on your website

@slotibartfast 3 года назад

Hi Mark. I'm into my second day of trying to figure out Lightroom and your video was able to clarify things very well for me. I appreciate the step-by-step workflow. Your 7 steps have given me a solid base image to work with. Thank you very much.

@michaelschnyder9680 5 лет назад

I just found your videos and subscribed to your channel, I really enjoy the way you breakdown landscape photography. This LR video that you did with your 7 steps was excellent!! Your composition is great as well. Thanks so much and keep up the great job.

@darianlow4296 Год назад

As someone just starting to learn about landscape photography this was very useful! Thank you!

@wesdonze2014 Год назад

Just starting on lightroom and found this an excellent video. Very useful thanks

@michaelpaske6453 4 года назад

Great video...love it and thanks for sharing! One thing i would also add is the Spot Removal Tool and on the bottom left click on Visualise Spots. That way if there are things in your photo, such as bugs or small things that you cant see with your eye, you can then remove them. Look forward to future videos and thanks once again Michael

@tomkolour3947 3 года назад

Excellent tut' Mark really informative especially the tips on double clicking the different tones, thank you

@Angeldenis1987 3 года назад

Hi Mark, I just started watching your videos and let me say that unlike other Ps/Lr youtubers, you go straight to the point, your videos are the simplified pro versions. Many others add too much blah blah blah. From now on you're my go-to guy for editing. Thank you very much. Peace and joy to you and your family this holiday season. Angel (Portland, Oregon)

@dr.johnandyvonnewagner5067 4 года назад

I really enjoyed this video. I'm usually not much of a note taker, but I actually felt the need to write down these seven steps. I personally use Paintshop Pro, and am looking to see if some of the suggestions transfer. But I really enjoy watching your videos! Your actual photo examples REALLY helps a lot! Way better than just telling me what to do and then giving a photo example at the end.

@Yipmanhands Год назад

Excellent video Mark, thanks for this.

@stevetill1413 2 года назад

Hi Mark, can I just thank you for this wonderfully instructive video. Your delivery is excellent and easy to follow. I live in Leeds, England and have just retired and struggled with Lightroom for a long time. However, having watched this video I feel like I'm Columbus and have just discovered America. I'll be going through my back catalogue of images and no doubt putting a few things right. I know it's almost three years since you produced the video but three years on it still adds value to my photography. Thank you.

@sneezyIce Год назад

As somene who just started editing, using lightroom, this video is perfect! Just even these basic steps is enough to create a beautiful picture! Thank you very much!

@jimmyzwheelz 5 лет назад

Mark, thank you for this LR tutorial! I’ve been using LR for a while and consider myself fairly seasoned with it. However, you taught me something new that no one else covered in courses I’ve taken...the shift/click function to set a recommended setting as a starting point. I used it on a few previously edited images and was pleasantly surprised by the improvement. Another well done, concise video. Thank you!

@MarkDenneyPhoto 5 лет назад

Jimmy Wilson This is great to hear Jimmy! Really appreciate it.

@jimbarzee 2 года назад

This was the most beneficial video about editing with LR that I have seen. Very easy to understand. I am new to LR, so thank you very much.

@trullin9326 2 года назад

Hi Mark, I'm not normally one for commenting but for this I had to make an exception. You're the first person I've ever come across who has actually gone through the basics and provided real explanations as to WHY you're doing something. I've used lightroom for a number of years but I learnt something new from every single step. Thank you for sharing your process with us.

@jennywiseman6971 3 года назад

Fascinating! I have been using Lightroom for many years, but found your approach to be excellent, rather than my rather more haphazard journey through image processing. I shall use immediately!

@idrnkmercury Год назад

Hey Mark im really n ew to editing and infact usually make them worse rather than better so getting these steps will make a massive diff to what i can do, your a life saver mate and i appreciate the effectiveness

@stevebanks484 5 лет назад

Hi Mark - just seen your videos. Really great. I've been using LR for about a year and hadn't realised that you could double click on each slider title to get Lr to find an 'auto' point for each slider adjustment. Will try that. Some really useful tips and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Steve (Perth, Australia). 👍👏

@ReformationsGlassArt 4 года назад

the double click doesnt work for me :/

@myothant70 3 года назад

Great video for me. Simple & easy

@peternickols2687 3 года назад

That was SO useful. I never knew you could use the option click to show the lightroom levels it would use for each adjustment. Also very clear and easy to follow. 👌

@LukeMackie 3 года назад

I learned a lot of new tricks, and I mean a lot from this one video.. Great content man, truly.

@jamesgerboc 3 года назад

As always, great explanation of a complicated topic. I find your ability to make minute adjustments incredible. My eye is not that sensitive. Typically, I have to take the slider from one extreme to the other and watch how the photo responds to the change. I find this advantageous in adding creativity in post. If your goal is to make the image as accurate and authentic as possible, your way is likely best. But I consider post processing part of the creative process and need to exaggerate adjustments to see what looks good to my eye. Any thoughts appreciated.

Nailed it! Great video for starters. I also use split toning, I have found it to determine "my" style. I also decrease clarity on my landscape images...another "my" style. One thing I did learn was the 'shift' key' use. Thanks so much!

@smooth6718 3 года назад

Mark, at least for me, this is your best tutorial yet! I had just gone through ~1800 images, boiling them down to 500, grading them 1,2 & 3-stars (Afghan Girl is my 5-star), and then painfully going through each section, section by section in no particular order. I think I might have even gone to HSL before shadows!! Duh. I thought I wished that I had seen this tutorial before I did my post, but sometimes when you learn the hard way, the easy way - and the right-way-to-do-it way - really makes you appreciate and remember the right way. I brought up one of my own scenics on screen No. 1 and watched you on screen No. 2, and took serious notes on everything you said, pausing your video, taking notes, and duplicating your movements on my image. I really like the way you keep your delivery slow, but deliberate and look straight into the camera

@casperholtfarver5613 4 года назад

Mark you are amazing! I love all your videos and are literally waiting for all your new videos every Wednesday. But now I just purchased an iPad Pro for editing and remembered this video. Do you know if the little shortcut “shift + double click” that auto determines for example exposure or white points, is that possible to do on iPad? Thanks a lot in advance!! Keep up your awesome work!

@wayneschumacher8451 5 лет назад

Excellent tutorial, Mark. I am using a similar workflow, but will adjust it slightly per your suggestions. After following a few other photographers for a couple of years, I think I have become too heavy-handed on the shadow and highlight sliders. I especially like your philosophy of first allowing Lightroom to set the sliders and then readjusting to taste. Thanks, again!
