TOP 5 Editing tips

Edit landscapes like a pro

25 GET IT RIGHT IN-CAMERA

Shoot in raw and aim to capture the best possible exposure in-camera. This will give you the best starting point, where images will require less aggressive processing.

26 CALIBRATE YOUR MONITOR

Failure to calibrate your monitor can result in incorrect brightness, contrast and colours when images are viewed on other devices and in print, which will cause an unnecessary headache.

27 USE LOCAL ADJUSTMENTS

When you’re editing in Lightroom, Photoshop and other software, take advantage of localised adjustment tools to make your images look their best by only adjusting the areas that need to be altered.

28 APPLY LENS CORRECTIONS

Raw editing software allows you to remove lens distortions using specific lens profiles, with the ability to remove any chromatic aberration that’s present at the click of a button.

29 KEEP IT NATURAL

Less can often be more. When it comes to editing landscapes, it can be all too easy to go too far, making images look overprocessed and unreal. Process with care, and aim for a natural-looking finish.
