- In this video I show how I would approach a Lightroom only edit, and deal with a high dynamic range scene. In this video I talk about the importance of working locally, and avoiding doing the bulk of the edit with global adjustments.

Always finding more tools to learn how to edit in Lightroom! Thanks Nick!
Always a good teacher. Thanks for posting.
Your an amazing photographer I’ve learned so much from watching your videos
Just found Nick. I’m from Australia love the straight talk no BS or “what’s up” over the top imitation. Down to earth and informative. Big thumbs up 👍
Great tutorial! When I started to use local adjustments my life changed. It's so amazing what you can do with it, keep it natural while increasing the contrast and color, love that.
Man I just love how methodical and mindful you are man. That’s one of my biggest problems-not taking time to ‘finesse’ the edit and truly thinking about every step I’m taking. So much of my process feels sort of broken up or random and back and forth. Lol. Just watching someone who really knows how to process actually process an image from beginning to end really helps put it in perspective and gives me lots to think about next time I’m get ‘lost’ when editing an image.
Really appreciate the emphasis on "why" you do or don't do certain things. Thanks Nick.
Thanks Nick for taking the time to shear tips on processing. Fantastic advice as always. Love the graduated filters. But the radial filter I can't wait to use.
Thank you. A lot of "how I edit landscapes in Lightroom" tutorials say what they do with a particular feature but omit why they do it. You are a much better teacher than most.
Thanks for this tutorial. Could you edit the same image in PS for us so that we can compare the techniques you use.
Thats a great idea, I hope Nick takes you up on it!
I came down here to say the same thing. I mostly use only Lightroom and would like to see why Photoshop might be better. I generally only use Photoshop for focus stacking or content aware fill.
I came to the comments just to say for the same thing. I want to start learning PS for editing, using things like the TK panel and NIK collection tools. It would be awesome if you edit the same image on PS, we could learn a lot :)
I was going to suggest the same but no point repeating things. Hopefully Nick will do it! Nick, pretty please!!! :)
Yep, I agree with this too.
Thanks Nick, Keep doing more of these Processing Video's
Thanks Nick, I love the way you explained your thought process to processing this beautiful image. You have inspired me to take a look at some of my older images again.
I have in the past listened to that chap and gone down the 100% on highlights and shadows etc thinking that was the way forward but with your help hopefully I can improve from that style of processing and those damn presets lol.
Thanks again for this video.
Great video and great explanations! Fully understandable and easy to follow! Thanks a lot Nick!
I'm new to photography and you're one of my first subscriptions on TH-cam on the subject.
Dannyboyz good move by you! Welcome to the club!
Thanks Nick for another great tutorial. As usual, I learn more from you in 20 minutes than I could ever through weeks of self-study or sifting through the ad-riddled garbage of TH-cam. Thanks for all the work you do putting these videos together. With so much content available, it's not hard for an amateur like me to begin seeing improvements quickly in my own photography and workflow. I just bought the Adobe subscription to PS and LR bundle and your guidance is helping me break through some long drawn ruts. Once I get a grasp on the basic stuff, I'll grab some of your premium content.
I enjoyed this video very much Nick. I look forward to more of these tutorials!
i was about to edit a landscape in lightroom when i noticed this post ... prophetic.
urmums gbanger this video just turned your shot into a banger!
Great job Nick. I’m one of those that edits almost entirely in LR so I appreciate the walk through you did. Adobe pissed me off when they went to their cloud based subscription plan so it’s a stand alone copy of LR for me. As such, I work with a more limited set of editing tools but since I’m just a hobbyist and I don’t like to spend too much time editing, it works well enough. Learned a lot from your use of graduated filters in this tutorial that I can apply. Thanks!
Multiple grad filters was a new concept to me. Thanks! This was all very helpful. Lots of good tips and tricks.
Thank you for this video. Was working on a sunset shot today and kept getting artifacts in my shadows. This helped so much. Also helps people who have cameras with less dynamic range where maxing out sliders would make just one big noisy mess.
Thanks, Nick, very informative, love your approach on editing.
Perfect video. Incredibly helpful- well explored and explained. Thank you!
Your edits are always on point Nick, that moody, clean, slick stuff, love it. Thanks for revealing some of your secrets!
Great tutorial Nick, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. Love your tablet, I’ve got to get one soon.
Thanks Nick, great to get a tutorial from you again👍
Great tips. Thank you for sharing even though this is not your normal work flow. ❤️
Thanks Nick, great video. I'm coming to Olympic National Park and Oregon for a month on 16th September. We have hired an RV and going to spend two weeks in ONP and then going down the Oregon Coast and back up to Mt Rainer etc. I've been watching all your videos and getting some great tips so thank you.
Sounds like a fantastic trip. See ya out in the field this fall.
Great tutorial Nick. I mostly start in LR for basic editing then take the image to PS and refine with layers, masks etc. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I am a LR user and found this a revelation - I have some flat processed images without contrast that I now need to rework. Many thanks- looking forward to more of these.
Thanks, Nick, for showing some new methods to someone who's been using LR for several years.
So many tips here Nick. Thank you very much
As a Lightroom only user... this was a very good tutorial. Thnx Nick
Thanks Nick! This majorly changed my thinking when using Lightroom!
Hell yeah, you are a great teacher. Gotta get myself on the Photoshop train.
Thanks for the tutorial. I've been hesitant to work with lightroom as I'm a photoshop gal. but for quick edits on the go, this looks perfect and I'm willing to give it a try on my next road trip.
Love your work mate. Really love your work. Thanks
Thanks Nick... I am a lightroom only guy, only because photoshop still feels like stepping into the cockpit of the space shuttle for me. I agree with you about the full on global adjustments... localizing has made my adjustments much better.
And would love some photoshop tutorials!! Especially explaining layers! But that lightroom tutorial has helped me loads 👍
Thanks, Nick! Looking forward to more.
As a lightroom user thanks for a really great explanation.
Excellent tutorial. This is very helpful. Thank you!
Nick, Your the King!! Thank you
Beautifully clear explaination of all you were doing, thanks Nick, I will be trying to increase my photoshop use but this was a useful start,Del
very well explained... just found your channel through the YT recommendations... landscape photagraphy and editing them afterwards in PS and LR are a hobby of mine since 5 years or so... I‘ll subscribe your channel... you seem to produce great quality videos
greetings from germany
Thanks. Clear info. Very competent an great tutorial for the „only LR-people“ 👍👍
Very helpful video for me, as a 90% Lightroom editor. I do exposure & focus stacks plus cleanup stuff in PhotoShop but I know I'm only scratching the surface. I do like the luminosity and color masks now incorporated into LR's adjustment tools, granted they are not quite as powerful as PS but much easier to learn. Keep the tips coming!
Hey Nick. Interesting video. Can’t wait for more post processing tutorials. Also in Photoshop 👌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks Nicko.
We would love to see you do some of your magic on our Australian landscape.
Thanks a bunch. Great information. So far, I work mostly in LR, however I am beginning to work in PS and discovering some of its magic. Thanks again.
Hi Nick - great video, thank you. I am constantly learning bits about LR and you explain/show things in a very easy to follow, practical way. Definitely agree, after experience, that you can over-do highlights & shadows👍👏. Subtlety is the watchword. Steve, Perth Western Australia
Awesome Nick, great vid for me a LR only user [for now ] thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Nick, this was super helpful
Great video and a very tasteful edit👍🏼. When I watch your videos, I always learn something from it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this wonderfully helpful tutorial. I confess I am a Lightroom-only photographer for the time being.
Great edit an information on how to use Lightroom Nick and would love to see your photoshop edit and the two side by side at the end. 👍🏽
Hello Nick, thank you, thank you, thank you! For I only use Lightroom. More Lightroom, Pleez!
Fantastic video Nick!! I used to use photoshop then was presuaded to lightroom. Amazing at what you managed. May give myself the challenge to try bracketing and editing a shot and not using my filters. Again. Great video.
Oh man, Nick, I just subscribed recently, think I saw you in one of Mads’ videos? Anyway, this was SO incredibly helpful. I do use PS, but often I have hundreds of different travel photos to edit and just don’t have the time so I end up using LR more than I know I should. This was SO concise and well-explained and invaluable for times like those where LR is the way to go- thanks a million.
Thanks for sharing Nick 👍🏻👍🏻
Very informative, especially the sharpening tab.
That was so informative. Thank you.
Fantastic tutorial, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Nick! Much appreciated 👍
A big thumbs up from me. I edit in Lightroom. Some very good tips here for a very quick edit.
Thank you sir. That sun enhancement is very useful.
Much appreciated Nick!
Great video Nick, would love to see how you go about this edit in Photoshop!
Love your channel. Thanks for this.
Big thank you for your video. It gives lots of nice ideas and it makes me thinking about my own processing. .. I wonder why this video gets a thumb down. I can't understand. it's a great viedo. Big Thank You!!
great video. love this tutorial
New to your channel. Found this very useful. I'm new to both Lightroom and Photoshop so tutorials like this I find really helpful and easy follow.
Thank you, I learned a new thing today.
Outstanding!
Thank you for simplifying this
Thank you , Nick!
Hey Nick, thanks for the video. I learned a new way of LR-editing. Very helpful.
For me and maybe other audience too it would be very very interesting if you edit the same picture again in Photoshop! Because you explained that you have more control in PS and specifically work on the things that bother you in the photo.
Very good tutorial, helps me as I edit 90% of my workflow in LR, should do more in PS, I know....
Processing an HDR I would tend to do lens correction in all of my chosen images that create the HDR rather that the converted image, may make a difference, not sure, thanks again Nick 👍
Thanks for the video Nick, always good to see how you would process. Have to ask is there a reason you haven’t used the range mask on the graduated filters, to avoid those bystanders as you brilliantly put it 😁
Hi Nick, Thank you for the effort and information given as it is the concepts that are useful and while you prefer Photoshop I am a Capture One user and will try to translate the concepts into that software.
I have to laugh at myself sometimes, I should be spending far more time and energy watching photography and editing skills tutorials than watching Video Pitchmen selling the "Next best greatest camera" videos. You've schooled me Nick, and I appreciate it so much. Probably makes a lot more sense to buy your editing courses than buying another camera. I think I'll just learn more instead of buy more. Mahalo!
Thanks. It would be interesting to see how you would take the same image in PS and process it. Enjoy your channel.
Awesome edit 🔥🔥
Thanks for the video and work flow tips. Great help cause I primarily use LR for my editing.
Probably not one of my favorites of your images but it is a good example for this instruction.
Steve Miller this was a very useful video!
Awesome ! So helpful 👊
So helpful. Thank you.
Great tutorial. Thanks
Fantastic Video as usual, very informative.
You have explained everything in detail and I understood how lightoom works. For that I ak subscribing to your channel!!😃👍🏼
Thanks Spence and welcome. Make sure to browse some of the older in the field videos.. thats what most people know me for.
Sure!😊😀👍🏼
Excellent, thank you.
Amazing video Nick. Definitely will improve my editing with your tips. However just like you said, I many of us would like to scale our editing techniques by using Photoshop. So i was hoping if you could make another tutorial and edit the same photograph in Photoshop. This way we get to clearly see the difference between Lightroom's limitations against Photoshop's. I really hope you make the tutorial. Thanks a million.
Finally someone who has explained the use of many options in Lightroom, kudos Nick! Any chance you can process this in Photoshop as a comparison of both programs?
Thank you, very useful.
I'm a Lightroom only person. Thanks for this one!
Great stuff! I haven't tried that many local adjustments. Just using the adjustment brush my laptop about stalls....hoping I don't kill another laptop while being creative 😲
Very helpful tutorial. This well may be the best explanation on TH-cam as to what each of the sharpening sliders do, though you explanation of "amount" was pretty vague and your average viewer probably doesn't know the difference between hi-pass filtering and deconvolution (but at least they can look up those concepts if they are interested).
Hey Nick - great vid. it would be really interesting to see you process the same image in PS.
You can still use a luminosity mask in either the radial tool or the graduated filters Nick. Just draw the filter and then go to the bottom of the adjustment panel, click on masking and select luminosity (or colour if you want). You can then adjust the mask to only target the light or dark etc and leave the innocent bystander pixels alone. This allows you to target specific areas just like in PS.
I find range masking in Lightroom to be pretty useless, I know lost of people love it but I find it to be to unrefined to use. They are no where near a true luminosity mask
I wish I'd found you earlier (more than just a few weeks ago, lol). I agree with you on PS for most complex editing and would love to see how you'd approach this, or a similar image in PS 👍
Super helpful!
Great video as always ! Would highly motivate a transitional video from Lightroom editing to Photoshop as I predict the interest for that would be high. Perhaps present the top x key benefits for editing Photoshop in comparison to Lightroom. Anyways great content as always Nick !
Excellent.
