People have been asking for it for years, but I wanted to wait for the right shot to do it! This is the first in a series of intructional videos where I show you what goes into the processing of an entire shot, from RAW conversion to saving the final processed image... and everything in between.
The second release in my series of "Start To Finish" instructional videos. A completely different type of image requiring several unique processing techniques to bring out this diamond-in-the-rough. Creative vision in the field is what can lead to creative vision in post-processing. In this tutorial we go from taking the photos for our creative puzzle in the field, to piecing them together on the computer. Starting with a multi-layered perspective blend and sky relocation, we go on to perform an entire workflow consisting of RAW processing, range masks, focus stacking, luminosity masks, light creation, warping, liquifying, pinching, atmosphere enhancements, texture adjustments and much more.
In this video we fix the skewed perspective with some heavy warping, manage tricky saturation issues, balance a difficult color palette, create depth with various adjustments, pull out hidden mood, and utilize several other techniques to make the best version of this image we can. The before and after comparison for this shot is dramatic!
