How Much Post Processing Goes Into My Landscape Photos?

I'm a huge believer that you don't need to be a Photoshop expert to be a great landscape photographer. I have nothing against those advanced Photoshop techniques, and they can be useful if you know when, how, and why to use them. But complex post processing is NOT REQUIRED to make beautiful landscape photos. If you have the right moment and subject, a great composition, and intelligent use of camera technique, you have all the structure you need for a fantastic photo. And some simple adjustments in a program like Lightroom is all that's needed to bring the magic to life.
In this video you'll see the exact post processing I use in my landscape photography.

Do you enjoy more or less post processing in your photography?
@piyus1987
@piyus1987 4 года назад
More photography less editing. I make timelapse videos so processing is a must. Thanks for the video I learned something new (how to increase saturation/color balance of cloud only!). One of my timelapse edit has bad yellow hue in clouds, I'll this method to get rid of it.

Post processing is always interesting. Especially in a short video like this, under 10mn! Your explanations are short and sweet, as well as reassuring for us that aren’t spending hours on photoshop.

Thanks Joshua. That cranking up the vibrance and saturation slider to tweak temp was a very good tip imo I have not thought of myself. Cheers.

Wow! Great video! I appreciate you starting out by showing the “after” photo, so as we watch we know where we’re heading. Until recently I’ve tended to under process my raw files. It’s great to see what goes into processing a great photo like the one you used.

Awesome, Joshua! I love the before and after, subtle, yet strong enough yet not look like "cartoon character." I never knew what the radius slider was beneath the "sharpener." Now I know and will use it more deliberately. Thanks again!

P.S. Josh, when taking your photo, do you intentionally underexpose your image so you don't lose details in the highlights? In other words, do you expose for the highlights?

Joshua, just joined your channel and enjoying the energy, information, and most of all, the amazing photos for inspiration. My LR envy has subsided now as i see that i just basically do the same simply edits in that panel and try not to move any dial too far right or left off center. Just enhance. I've definitely seen very over-processed photos out there that don't look like they came from the same nature that I walk around in.

Another great video Joshua, I started out in Photoshop as I couldn't get my head around what Lightroom was for but I use it pretty much exclusively now for my photos. The only time I use PS now is if I'm working with layers. Some shots require very little processing but some I can spend an age on if I can't get something just right, even then there's no guarantee that I can get it right.

Lately I have been waiting a bit between the time I import my images into the computer and the post processing so that I can process with my "head" and not my "heart". Sometimes though, I forget what subtle colors were in the scene. Your technique of overdoing the vibrance and saturation sliders to "see" the colors is a great way to remind me of where to bring out (if needed) the colors that I may have forgotten were in the scene. Nice image, Joshua.

Awesome video dude, adobe programs lightroom and photoshop in particular have always been super intimidating... just recently I decided it was well past time to learn this stuff, and I'll tell you it's not nearly hard as it looks to a beginner. Thanks to you and one other person in particular I'm really starting to enjoy post processing.

Thanks for this! This is about how I process my photos too. One thing I was surprised at though - you didn't set the white & black points? I find that sliding the whites up and the blacks down really adds a lot of nice contrast to my images. What are your thoughts on that?

The battle for me, is when processing overtakes the art of photography. Largely, I think it has over the last few years.. great processors and average photographers. Your approach is honest .. that’s good to see. Thanks Joshua

Thanks for the video Josh. But have you missed a dead pixel or something on the water at 8:08 ;-) This is really a great location and you have captured a great image. I really like to work in Photoshop, because I can make finer masks/selections as in Lightroom. But I think you are right.

@xavierjoulin8705
@xavierjoulin8705 4 года назад
So you don't use calibration or split toning either? No Dodge and burn? I know that some people put the highlights and shadows to the max, do you do that sometimes? thanks for the video tho

I avoided Photoshop for a long time, but once I embraced it, I found that it sped up my post-processing quite a bit. You don't have to be a Photoshop expert to get the benefits of it. Sure, some images might work right out of Lightroom, but the insistence some folks have around only using Lightroom is unnecessary. [I'm not suggesting your video is making that claim.] I think digging into some more so-called in-depth editing processes also makes you think about your photography differently when in the field. Letting post-processing scare you limits your creativity. Embrace it. It's not that hard.

@philipculbertson55
@philipculbertson55 4 года назад
Surprised to see you didn't add a white point and black point. Since that is really adding contrast, do you not do whites and blacks because you use the tone curve? White also tends to make color pop so I assume you used vibrance and saturation rather than increasing whites a bit?
@tompatton2086
@tompatton2086 3 года назад
Honest answer ... As you stood there taking the picture, did the scene appear more like the original raw file of more like your final edits?

It's definitely the quick approach but it doesn't always allow the final image to turn out according to our vision.

Dear sir, I have a Fujifilm camera, a hp laptop, and an Epson photo printer. I don't have any tools for color calibration and right now, I can't afford one. So, whenever I'm printing any color photo, it's color-shifting tremendously. Will you please make a video about how to get almost matching color without the need for calibration. Thanking you in advance.

Little off topic, but how do you protect yourself from predators when you're out shooting alone? Bears aren't much of a worry, it's mountain lions that are really the scary thing.
@gatsby498
@gatsby498 4 года назад
You should be more concerned about having a car accident on the way to the trailhead or falling down your stairs than running into mountain lion. Extremely rare and unlikely to be a threat.
