Exposure blending video tutorial
by Adam Gibbs
The dynamic range that modern-day digital cameras can capture in one exposure is phenomenal. However, maintaining detail within both highlights and shadows is one of the most significant challenges for landscape photographers. Although the latest cameras can record scenes with substantial discrepancies between deep shadows and the brightest of highlights, some scenes require a helping hand with either graduated neutral density filters or post-processing techniques.
Full editing course on landscape photography
by Albert Dros
This course is all about getting the most out of your RAW files through various postprocessing techniques. If you're interested to learn basic and advanced postprocessing techniques to get your images to the next level, then this course is for you. I have no secrets. Everyone has their own vision and the way they see things. Even if I teach you all of my techniques, you'll still not create the same images, simply because every person is different. To me, a photo serves as a memory. And sometimes I romanticise that moment by adding touches of beauty, playing with colour and enhancing light. However, the moment stays intact. I don't replace skies, add milky ways, or any different elements. Simply because I want to portray the moment and the story. By changing the moment completely in postprocessing, the real moment or story, is gone.

Photo Editing Tutorial for Architecture Photos
by Michael Breitung
In this photo editing tutorial, I share my complete workflow for processing Architecture Photos in Lightroom and Photoshop. I love to take cityscape and architecture photos during my travels. My favorite time to do so is during the blue hour. The color contrast between the blue sky and the incandescent lights in the city was just fantastic at that time. During a visit to Venice, I captured many such photos. One of those is the photo you see in the before-and-after comparison below. The first photo shows the out-of-camera RAW file without any settings applied. The second image shows the final result of the photo editing. In the tutorial, you’ll learn every technique I used to create it.
Photo Editing for Night Photos
by Michael Breitung
In this video tutorial, I share my complete workflow for editing Milky Way photos. My main focus with such night photos is for them to reflect the atmosphere of the night while showing enough detail to create interest in the foreground. To achieve this, I developed special photo editing techniques, which I share in the tutorial. Because I want to be able to create large prints of my photos, another goal of my night photo editing is to achieve the highest possible image quality. That’s why another focus of the tutorial is on dealing with noise and ensuring sharpness from close foreground to far background in Milky Way photos.
Photo Editing for Star Trail Photos
by Michael Breitung
In this photo editing tutorial, I show my complete workflow for processing star trail photos. My main focus when editing such images is, similar to my tutorial for processing night photos, to reflect the atmosphere of the night while showing enough detail to create interest in the foreground. Because during a pitch black night, it’s hard to find a light source that could justify detail to be visible in the foreground, I often use a technique called time-blending to include glow from twilight. If introduced subtly, this glow can serve as the light source and help to create a better result. As usual, the workflow I show in the tutorial ensures the highest possible quality for the resulting photos, a requirement for printing.
Photo Editing for Panorama Photos
by Michael Breitung
In this photo editing tutorial, I show my complete workflow for creating high-quality panoramic images. I use the tricky panorama I took at Cape Woolamai as an example image. The light that evening was spectacular but also fleeting, so I had to work fast. Because my wide-angle lens wasn’t sufficient to capture the whole cove, I opted for a panorama combined with bracketing. With the direct sunlight, the rolling waves, and the fact that I wasn’t using a nodal rail or special panorama equipment, putting the photo together to create a high-quality result involved a set of unique techniques.
