- My painterly woodland images are made not only with the right conditions, but also by using the right Lightroom and Photoshop editing techniques. Watch as I talk through both.

Can't even describe how helpful this tutorial is, I turned more into woodland photography this fall, but I really struggled with editing these kind of images. Hopefully I can do better after this video! Really appreciated Nigel!
I have trouble even taking woodland photos. I just do not understand how I make my subject, maybe a specific tree, stand out from all the other trees without using bokeh.
Really interesting to hear your process. Found it fascinating to hear you're inspired by paintings!
Amazing edits. Thank you so much for sharing your great knowledge for free 🙇♀️.
Glad you like them!
Hi Nigel. I just saw your recent video about taking more time to do the things you enjoy rather than having the feeling of needing to produce videos all the time. I have a couple of TH-cam friends who really suffered the burnout of doing this so it's great you are putting yourself first. I, like many others will always be here to watch your videos regardless ;) Reason why I commented on this one is that vides like this one here, specifically have been such an amazing help in me developing my landscape photography. Woodland is a hard art to master and with your help this last couple of years I feel I have come on a long way. So a HUGE THANKYOU from me! Wishing you my very best and look forward to hopefully bumping into you in a foggy woodland again some day. Cheers!
This is an educational masterpiece. I‘m following your channel for quite a while and still you’ve got new insights to share.
I was just about to look up some lightroom tutorials, perfect timing!
Thanks!
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 20 years, all be it portrait largely, and I really value your deep understanding of light, the journey of the eye… more than that, I really learned some new skills and have been wondering how I could apply this to portrait photography. I’d be really interested to see how you retouch a portrait using these same techniques. Have you done this and would you consider a tutorial? Having a fresh approach would be really interesting.
I am a beginner photographer and I am trying to get better. I love woodland photography and we rarely have good conditions for photography on this part of the planet. So your videos are giving me great push and teach me a lot to become better and better photographer although the lack of conditions and locations
Thanks for this - quite literally - very illuminating video! Being an absolute dunce at Lightroom I always wondered how to get those effects. Looking forward to next week's video on Cornwall.
Intersecting with a brush. A key take-away. Thanks for the tips.
Folks, we just got a free masterclass in Lightroom.
Just discovered your channel. I enjoyed the video even though I tend to be a portrait photog.
This tutorial is superb and will be so useful using some of your techniques. Your original images are raw excellent but the subtle changes in individual colours and luminosity in selected areas make such an overall feel.
Thank you
Hi Nigel, Thank you so much for sharing your LR editing tips and another inspiring video! Love your woodland photography "style" and way of photographing and editing. Keep up your fantastic work ... and It was a pleasure to meet you in the misty Padley Gorge that day:)
Am I glad I took the time to watch this video! Thank you Nigel. I've struggled with the sometimes overwhelming LR/PS menus and this will be quite useful.
Superb tutorial on Lightroom (and Photoshop). One of the best I've viewed. Made loads of notes. Now I have to put it all into practice! I'd reckon I'll be returning to this video several times for a refresher.
Your work in this video has a Thomas Kinkade feel to it. ( no insult implied!)
So often while walking in the woods, I’ll come across a scene that intrigues me with shapes and good leading lines, but once in the computer looks BLAH!
Your processing makes things come alive! ( but not over the top!)
Thank you!!!
Thanks for this, great tips. Just wonder if my older lightroom will do it?
That first tree in the fog you show is Lawrence Field tree. My favourite tree in the peak district. I'm lucky to live 20mins away from there and I'm always out there doing photography
A great video Nigel! Thanks so much for sharing some of your secrets. The Intersecting with tools and luminance on local areas I found especially useful👍👍👍
Great video! Love woodland photography and it's always a treat seeing your images 👏
Another amazing edit video. Thank you!
The Big Light haha love it ! The PS Orton effect I will have to try really enjoyed that segment of the video Nigel.
What an absolute brill tutorial , thank you x
Some useful techniques in here, thanks a lot Nigel, grateful you chose to do this topic from your poll.
Great to see how you transform your images into those beautiful artworks.
These editing videos are so much appreciated, Nigel. Thanks so much!
Even before I finished your video I just had to try some of your techniques on my images, lots of glow I've missed. Thank you for sharing.
Visite Picasso is a classic documentary by Paul Haesaerts which features the footage of Picasso painting on glass while a camera films him from the other side. This documentary is spectacular to watch. I do have similar feelings with Nigels video. Being able to see masters at work is pure joy!
This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much.
A really useful tutorial, which has gone straight into my saved videos.
Another superb video - thank you Nigel. I love these images and you have a real gift for explaining your editing processes so clearly - I find them so helpful!
Your videos are so helpful. Thanks for detailing the lightroom process!
Hi Nigel, good to see you out and about so I'm guessing that that your back is much improved. I'm hoping so. Thanks for sharing your skills and enthusiasm, I now see potential pictures in the woods where I once saw only trees.
Thank you for helping me on my photography journey Nigel. You are a true artist and excellent instructor. My photography has come on in leaps & bounds in large part to your excellent videos. Keep up the fantastic work.
Brilliant tip to selectively affect luminance tones using colour mask, nice one
Thanks for those great tips! Can't wait to see your upcoming videos!
Always spot on !
Excellent.... Thank you.
I love your compositions in particular, and your edits! I love your tutorials- especially this one. You have inspired me to improve my photography and my own edits. I have been in an editing rut, and you’ve inspired me to change. Thank you!
fantastic tips, thank you very much nigel!
An excellent demonstration of Lightroom masking.
Thanks Nigel! A very densely packed vlog. LOTS of info in here. Can't wait for the next few.
Thanks for another very instructive video!
Awesome, awesome editing tips.
Loved it!
Another fantastic video. Thank you Nigel.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and i really like how you explain things and take your photos, make a story out of them.
Wish you all the best luck, Nigel!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing
This is going to transform my images! Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share
Gotta rewatch and rewatch and rewatch….. so very helpful!
Great tips here, and especially on what intersect does and how to use it, great edits!!
thank you so much, incredibly instructive!!
Thanks Nigel - great insight into your editing process.
Great video! I've always been interested in woodland photography.
Outstanding tutorial and a great demonstration that in editing there are many ways to achieve the same or similar results! You turn what could be almost mediocre scenes if edited incorrectly into something special, a literal magical wonderland of light, colour and atmosphere. Thanks for sharing this with us Nigel, much appreciated.
Thanks a lot for this really useful guide!
Terrific tutorial; You've brought together alot of things I have been experimenting with. Many thanks.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant Nigel , many thanks 🙏
Another excellent video, Nigel! More tools for me to add to my editing workflow, as I progress in this hobby of mine!
Wonderful video thank you ! Great to have a clear step by step approach in how to start the editing process . Certainly looking forward to experimenting and developing editing skills! My husband is an artist and has started using my photos for his own creative ideas. No pressure to succeed!!!!!! 😊🙏👏
Good stuff Nigel, enjoyed the video.
Brilliant thank you.
Thank you for this
Thank you Nigel for this awesome editing tutorial. I love your woodland photography, and your from work process I can learn a lot.
Thanks Nigel! Lots of wonderful info here.
An amazing video that I, and I am sure others will watch again and again as it was so helpful and informative. Well done Nigel, and a very big thank you for all your inspiring and interesting video's. Exceptional content, even though I do not use Photoshop or Lightroom it gave me more than enough to be able to apply some of the knowledge to using my Affinity Photo app more. TopMan
Brilliant tutorial Nigel, many thanks for sharing.😊
This is my favourite of all your editing videos. Absolutely great tips here, but more than that just some insight into what you're looking for and why. Thanks as always!
Great tips as usual. I've always liked trying to get a painting-like effect on some of my images and these tips will help no end
Great video - lots of tips that I am sure I will make use of
Truly great content in this one. This is one I’ll be visiting a few times while I’m editing.
Hi Nigel great informative video is the first image taken in Padley Gorge Derbyshire because it looks so much like to an image I took there it’s such a great location and is that Padley at the end of your video? Thanks Tony.
Fantastic tutorial - thanks Nigel. very timely, as I finally got some atmospheric conditions in the woodland here so I’ve got something to practice on! 👍👍👍
Excellent video Nigel. Thank you 🙏
Great video Nigel! And that extra tip using blending mode on Photoshop is incredible. I need to try it for sure! Looking forward to seeing those magical conditions footage in the next few weeks!
Very informative tutorial.
Thanks for a great video, really enjoy it. Also very great photos.👌
Brilliant mate, thank you, so much in this tutorial. Looking forward to putting it to use.
What a great explanation, I learned a thing or two. Massive thanks!
Great video Nigel! definitely changed my way of thinking when it comes to editing woodland!
Thank you so much… I love your work.
This tutorial is one of my favorites. Thanks so much for showing how to use the color and luminosity range. These techniques will be so helpful in editing my photos. I love your work and appreciate all these helpful tutorials.
I re-edited some old pictures, and with your version of the Orton effect they look way more magical! Thank you!!
Wow, what an amazingly brilliant video . Thank you Nigel, for sharing your excellent insight into using Lightroom on your superb images.
As always, I want to revisit time and again, to learn more, and use on my own photos. Appreciated very much.
Also looking forward to Cornwall video. No doubt there’ll be stunning seascape vistas!
One of the most helpfull videos I have seen in a long time, thank you!
Great video. Super helpful little tips I was not aware you could do.
It is amazing how Lightroom has improved and the creative possibilities that have been added with the last editions. Bravo for your beautiful photographs and thank you very much for your insight: it is very inspiring and moved me to transform and/or fine tune some of my photos to give a more painterly impression. The palette of styles can be very varied: from renaissance, baroque and classical landscape paintings (Giorgione, Carracci, the Flemish, Turner, etc.) to modern art (Monet, Cezanne, pointillism, fauvism, etc). Something that I have been striving to do by playing with light and focus in some of my shootings.
A truly wonderful and educational video! Thanks again Nigel!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this. Recently found your site and am learning so much. Heading to the coast of western Spain next week and will be spending a month shooting the coastline and local villages. Hope to get some great shots. Thank you for the inspiration.
Excellent video, gave me some new ideas about better controlling and changing saturation, thank you Nigel.
This is SO helpful! I tend to do black and white pictorialist style photography, but I’m not used to color and it’s been sort of difficult to figure out editing on that!
Thanks so much - This is exactly what I needed. To me, processing my photos provides as much pleasure as capturing them and I've really struggled to achieve the 'painterly' look. I've already gone back to some of my pictures and created all-new edits.
Most useful video guide I've seen.
Very much admire your work
Thank you Nigel, this was so useful, it’s inspired me to search out and do some woodland photography. It’s very insightful to see how you use the colour and luminosity masking with Lightroom to bring out the detail that you want. Whilst familiar with masking and blend modes in PS I always value seeing how the concept is applied by a photographer who is skilled in their particular genre of image making.
Your videos help me in more ways than being a better photographer but learn how to appreciate the world and nature. Every video feels like home, with a warm and kind vibe. Thank you so much Mr Danson! Greetings from Chile❣️
Painterly photos , right up my alley. Intresting that you add contrast at the begining , I do the opposite , remove contrast and then paint it back in with the brush tool , great edits 👍👍.
Great Video, Nigel!
Fantastic tutorial, totally immersed . 💪
