Coming to you from mark denneyThis great video tutorial discusses some of the most common retouching mistakes landscape photographers make and how to fix them. Without a doubt, the most common mistake I see newer landscape photographers make when editing their photos is simply overdoing it, especially when it comes to color. There’s a fine line between a striking photo and a flashy photo, and you’re better off doing a little less, especially with things like the saturation slider. If you find yourself struggling a bit with that, get in the habit of using the before/after function (the backslash key in Lightroom) to keep track of how far you’re pushing your edit. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Denney.
