  • In this Lightroom tutorial, I edit dark tone images and show you my editing process for those moody style images. This dark mode editing technique will bring contrast and muted results to virtually any lighting condition. Bright sunny days or overcast weather.

    Love this tutorial! Very informative and to the point with 3 in depth examples and a few with less details. Definitely going to try and edit some of my photos this way for the gram.

    This is great Mark, i went back and re-edited some of my old images with your method and its transformed some photos i had written off as rubbish ! Love your work

    The most easily understandable tutorial I found so far. Now I understand what I'm doing rather than just following the tutorial. Every image needs its own fine-tuned setting and I learned it from you so thank you.

    Absolutely spot on, well explained and minimalist tutorial. Love your work Mark, it has a lot of personal touch and uniqueness. Also please help us out with the export settings for crisp and clear photos, that'd be really helpful ✌️🤘🙏🏼

    Love this! I have used most of these steps to correct wild colors on stage, but I like changing mood as well. Thanks!

    Absolutely amazing tutorial! I consider myself a pretty advanced editor, but this was actually something completely new to me! All this time I've tried to do these kinds of edits in a way that makes it way more complicated than it probably should be. This really helped me a lot. A big thank you to you Mark!

    That exposure correction and desaturation at the start is so simple but such a great starting point for editing, I have no idea why I never stumbled on that myself as I love playing with moody editing. Going to try it out, thanks!

    Thank you so so much, I’ve been using presets to “try “ and get closer to the moody dark look on certain shots and then tweak from there but now I understand how to be specific for my photos plus making my own style from using no presets. Thanks again.

    For the vignette I have found that just decreasing the natural vignette correction of the lens, especially if you shoot with f1.2 or f1,4, gives really nice effect cause after all it is a natural vignette. Also I think Lr, most of the time, really over-compensates for the vignette anyway.
