Landscape photography editing: Where to start<\/h2>\n<p>The best place to start editing your landscapes is in Lightroom\u2019s Basic panel, the top-right panel in the Develop Module. First, adjust Temperature and Tint, then work down through the set of Tone sliders before finishing off with the Presence sliders. Any slider in Lightroom can be reset with a double-click.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114894&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114894\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Where-to-start.jpg\" alt=\"Where to start\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Where-to-start.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Where-to-start.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Where-to-start.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Where-to-start.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>2. Landscape photography editing: Check for clipping<\/h2>\n<p>With landscapes, it\u2019s often important to make full use of the tonal range from black to white, without losing clipped details in either the highlights or shadows. Hold Alt while dragging the Whites or Blacks slider for a view that shows clipped pixels as you drag \u2013 bring both sliders to a point just before pixels begin to clip to ensure a full tonal range.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114883&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114883\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Check-for-clipping.jpg\" alt=\"Check for clipping\" width=\"690\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Check-for-clipping.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Check-for-clipping.jpg?resize=300,187 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Check-for-clipping.jpg?resize=630,394 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Check-for-clipping.jpg?resize=562,351 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>3. Landscape photography editing: Fix recurring marks<\/h2>\n<p>Dust on your sensor is more visible when you shoot at narrower apertures \u2013 and many photographers use f\/11 and upwards when shooting landscapes. However, sensor marks can be easily removed with the Develop Module\u2019s Spot Removal tool. If a recurring mark affects a whole set of photos, simply paint to remove it once, then highlight the whole image set (Cmd\/Ctrl+A), click \u2018Sync\u2019, check only \u2018Spot Removal\u2019 and hit OK.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>4. Landscape photography editing: Vibrance for sunsets<\/h2>\n<p>Often, a sunrise or sunset will display very strong colours around the sun, while those further out will be less saturated. Boosting those colours can make them pop, but don\u2019t use the Saturation slider, as this will push the already strong colours too far. Instead try Vibrance, as this targets and boosts the less-saturated colours.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114893&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114893\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Vibrance-for-sunsets.jpg\" alt=\"Vibrance for sunsets\" width=\"690\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Vibrance-for-sunsets.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Vibrance-for-sunsets.jpg?resize=300,187 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Vibrance-for-sunsets.jpg?resize=630,394 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Vibrance-for-sunsets.jpg?resize=562,351 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>5. Landscape photography editing: Check for colour casts<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, a camera\u2019s white balance isn\u2019t entirely accurate, but we can use Lightroom\u2019s white-balance tool to fix a colour cast in seconds (especially if you shoot raw, which means you can set the white balance afterwards). Simply grab the eyedropper tool next to WB in the Basic panel then click over a neutral point, such as a rock or a road.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>6. Landscape photography editing: Smart local adjustments<\/h2>\n<p>We can use the Range control to target specific tones when making local adjustments. When set to Luminance, the range slider can confine the effect to the highlights in the sky here without affecting the darker rock. Similarly, when set to Range: Color, you can click to sample a colour range to target, or Alt-click to target several shades.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114892&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114892 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Smart-local-adjustments.jpg\" alt=\"Smart local adjustments\" width=\"690\" height=\"1035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Smart-local-adjustments.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Smart-local-adjustments.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Smart-local-adjustments.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Smart-local-adjustments.jpg?resize=562,843 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Use the Range control to target specific tones. Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>7. Landscape photography editing: Shoot in raw<\/h2>\n<p>Shooting in raw gives you greater editing headroom, which is often invaluable for landscapes. Not only can you set the white balance after the fact, but you also have greater dynamic range, which comes in handy for unbalanced exposures as you can tease out seemingly lost detail in bright skies or dark shadowy foreground with Lightroom\u2019s Highlights and Shadows sliders.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>8. Landscape photography editing: Cut through the haze<\/h2>\n<p>Dehaze can be very useful for landscapes to reduce atmospheric haze and add punch to at scenes. The slider is in the Develop Module\u2019s Effects panel. You can selectively decrease or increase haze with Lightroom\u2019s three local adjustment tools \u2013 the Graduated Filter, Adjustment Brush and Radial Filter.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114884&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114884\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Cut-through-the-haze.jpg\" alt=\"Cut through the haze\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Cut-through-the-haze.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Cut-through-the-haze.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Cut-through-the-haze.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Cut-through-the-haze.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>9. Landscape photography editing: Boost the blues<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick tip for enhancing weak blue skies. Go to the HSL Panel to the right of Lightroom\u2019s Develop Module. First head to the Luminance settings, click the little target icon and then click and drag down over the blue sky. Next click the Saturation target icon and drag upwards over the blues.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114882&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114882\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Boost-the-blues.jpg\" alt=\"Boost the blues\" width=\"690\" height=\"1034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Boost-the-blues.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Boost-the-blues.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Boost-the-blues.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Boost-the-blues.jpg?resize=562,842 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>10. Landscape photography editing: Fix fringing<\/h2>\n<p>Wideangle lenses are susceptible to chromatic aberration, which causes colour fringing along high-contrast edges. Go to the Profile tab in the Lens Correction panel and check the box to fix it. To enable the fix by default on all imported images, check the box (and alter nothing else), then hold Alt and click the \u2018Set Default\u2019 button at bottom right.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114887&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114887\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fix-fringing.jpg\" alt=\"Fix fringing\" width=\"690\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Fix-fringing.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Fix-fringing.jpg?resize=300,187 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Fix-fringing.jpg?resize=630,394 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Fix-fringing.jpg?resize=562,351 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>11. Landscape photography editing: Strike a balance<\/h2>\n<p>One of the big challenges for landscape photographers has always been how to balance sky and land. Skies are usually much brighter than land, so by darkening them, we can create a more balanced exposure. This can be done in-camera with a graduated lens-mounted filter, or later in Lightroom with selective adjustments.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>12. Landscape photography editing: Drag a grad<\/h2>\n<p>Found in the Develop Module toolbar, the Graduated Filter tool is ideal for enhancing skies. Grab the tool, then begin by loading it with an adjustment using the sliders to the right of the screen \u2013 negative exposure, positive clarity and saturation can work well. Drag within the image to create a graduated linear adjustment.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114886&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114886\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Drag-a-grad.jpg\" alt=\"Drag a grad\" width=\"690\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Drag-a-grad.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Drag-a-grad.jpg?resize=300,187 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Drag-a-grad.jpg?resize=630,394 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Drag-a-grad.jpg?resize=562,351 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>13. Landscape photography editing: Useful shortcuts for grads<\/h2>\n<p>Hold shift while dragging a graduated filter adjustment to keep it perfectly horizontal, so that it runs parallel to the horizon. If you hold Alt while dragging the grad, the blend begins centrally. Hold Alt and drag up or down over the grad\u2019s central pin to alter all of the adjustment settings at once.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>14. Landscape photography editing: Auto-fix lens distortion<\/h2>\n<p>The wideangle lenses often used for landscapes can be susceptible to barrel distortion, which makes straight lines appear to bow outwards. There\u2019s an easy Lightroom fix \u2013 go to the Lens Correction Panel, click Profile and \u2018Enable lens correction\u2019. Your lens should show up in the list, but if not you can choose it manually.<\/p>\n<p><em>Continues below&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[collection name=&#8221;small&#8221;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>15. Landscape photography editing: Blend exposures for HDRs<\/h2>\n<p>To create HDRs from a set of bracketed exposures, Cmd\/Ctrl+click to select them all, then go to Photo&gt;Photomerge&gt;HDR. Once merged, you can go on to adjust the tones as normal, but you have greater headroom in that exposure goes from +10 to -10, and local adjustments can pull out more detail at the extremes of the tonal range.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>16. Landscape photography editing: Dodge and burn<\/h2>\n<p>Our eyes are drawn to the lighter areas of a photo, so with subtle lightening and darkening we can help to guide the eye around our landscapes. This is easily done with Lightroom\u2019s Adjustment Brush. Grab the brush from the toolbar, use the tonal sliders to load it with positive or negative exposure then paint to dodge or burn the image.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114885&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114885\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Dodge-the-burn.jpg\" alt=\"Dodge the burn\" width=\"690\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Dodge-the-burn.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Dodge-the-burn.jpg?resize=300,187 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Dodge-the-burn.jpg?resize=630,394 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Dodge-the-burn.jpg?resize=562,351 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>17. Landscape photography editing: Mask your sharpening<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s little point in sharpening areas of smooth, detail-less colour in our landscapes, as this only amplifies image noise. So after using the Detail Panel\u2019s Sharpening Amount and Radius to get the desired strength of overall sharpening, hold Alt and drag the Masking slider below. Areas that appear in black as you drag will be masked from the sharpening.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_114891&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 710px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114891\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Mask-your-sharpening.jpg\" alt=\"Mask your sharpening\" width=\"690\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Mask-your-sharpening.jpg 690w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Mask-your-sharpening.jpg?resize=300,187 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Mask-your-sharpening.jpg?resize=630,394 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Mask-your-sharpening.jpg?resize=562,351 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>18. Landscape photography editing: Make panoramas<\/h2>\n<p>Lightroom\u2019s panorama merge feature lets you stitch together several overlapping frames for detail-rich panoramic images. Cmd\/Ctrl+click to select the frames then go to Photo&gt;Photomerge&gt;Panorama. Experiment with the three projection settings and use Auto-crop to remove messy edges from your resulting image.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>19. Landscape photography editing: Fix wonky images<\/h2>\n<p>The Upright controls within the Develop Module\u2019s Transform Panel can automatically correct wonky horizons and converging verticals for you.
