PW139 - Tutorial 21, Chapter 2 - Northwest Wales Sunset

In today's show we show you how to use the lightroom adjustment brush and graduated filters to boost contrast and colour and add a sunset glow on the horizon. We then move over into Photoshop for the rest of our tutorial where we begin with some dust spot removal with the spot healing brush tool to deal with lens and sensor dust. Then we use a curves adjustment layer and paint on its layer mask to boost the oranges in our horizon glow.

PW138 - Tutorial 21, Chapter 1 - Northwest Wales Sunset

Today we start a brand new tutorial showing how I turned a very challenging exposure into a very pleasing seascape with rich blue, purple and yellow tones using Adobe Lightroom and then Photoshop. In this episode I use colour balance and graduated filters to add the colour toning and some sky darkening. I also bring back detail in the very light and dark regions by using the fill light and recovery sliders.

PW81 - Lightroom 2 Quicktip - Advanced Graduated Filters

Today we continue looking at our landscape image. We've already corrected the exposure in the sky but now it's time to get a little more creative by bringing the sky and ground tones together and then adding a smoke coloured filter. We also fix up some more light issues and refocus the viewer's attention using a little more adjustment brush.

PW80 - Lightroom 2 Quicktip - Neutral density graduated filter

Today we work on a landscape image with an over exposed sky. We do some cropping and rotation to begin with followed by a little spot editing to remove some distractions. Then we get to work with the Graduated Neutral Density Filter to fix up the sky and bring the tones in the image closer together.
