Before/After: Lightroom Processing Video Tutorial

Lightroom Image Processing

Learning how to post-process your images can make the difference between bland and amazing.

But how to get there isn’t always clear. It’s not just a matter of knowing what tools are available to you. You also need to know when to use them, and why.

And that’s where this tutorial comes in. You’ll get to watch the transformation of 11 images, and discover the thought process behind the decisions that are made. Not only will you learn a ton of Lightroom tips and tricks, but you’ll also be able to make better post-processing decisions to enhance your own images.

So just what is possible with post-processing? Take a look below at the exact images that will be covered in this tutorial! But first, let’s have some fun with it!

Can you spot the difference?

Great post-processing is often very subtle. It quietly enhances the image, helps communicate the photographer’s message, and directs the viewer’s eyes to the right elements in the frame.

In the images below, much of the post-processing work isn’t super noticable. But once you spot it, you can see how it helps to improve the photo. So can you discover the differences? Take your time, look closely and test your post-processing detective skills!

P.S. they start off pretty easy, but get tougher as you go! Give it a shot!

#1. Grand Canyon

Shooting the Grand Canyon is a once in a lifetime experience, but the photos don’t always match up with what you see! Thank goodness for Lightroom®. Bland to amazing for sure!

#2. Couple in Field

Golden hour is great to shoot in, but can result in tricky exposures, and flat, washed-out tones. Post-processing is a must to get the full benefit of this type of light.

#3. Gas Pumps

Lightroom® can let you get super creative with your images. By playing with colour and tones you can get hyper-realistic, HDR style photos that really stand out!

#4. Family

Even well-exposed, pretty photos need some post-processing adjustments to make them look their best. A few easy adjustments takes this one from dull to stunning.

#5. Dandelion

Learning how to create custom black and white conversions is an essential skill for anyone who enjoys the drama that comes from this type of processing. The default conversion just doesn’t cut it – let’s learn how to make it really stand out!

#6. Wedding Couple

Look really closely here. Do you see the subtle changes in the lines? Check out that disappearing graffiti. Lightroom® is so powerful, you won’t believe how easy it is to make these amazing changes.

#7. Binoculars

You can even get the popular film-look in your images by learning about all the creative tools Lightroom® has for your post-processing!

#8. Newborn

Softening up the tones, and bringing more attention to the subject has a dramatic effect on this image. But you’d hardly know it was edited at all. That’s the power of great post-processing!

#9. Dog

A great black and white conversion can take an image from snapshot to award-winning. There are a lot of tools you can use to make that happen for your images!

#10. Couple in Trees

Being able to control your viewer’s eye is a huge benefit of post-processing, but often goes overlooked. Once you figure it out, you’ll be able to use Lightroom® to take your photos to the next level.

#11. NYC

Shapes and lines come alive in black and white, but you have to know how to accentuate them.

Ready to see EXACTLY what was done?

Post-processing is an essential skill for every digital photographer.

You’ve probably noticed that when you bring your digital photos onto your computer, they don’t always capture the scene the same way as your eyes saw it. With post-processing, you can recreate both the look and the feel of that amazing moment you saw!

And you can do even more. You can help direct your viewers’ eyes where you want them to go, ensuring that they look at the most important part of your photo! That’s pretty essential, right?

Post-processing can also help you correct problems that occurred during capture – it can eliminate distractions, fix exposure errors, adjust lines, and more, to help polish your images to a more professional level.

But post-processing is NOT just applying a preset. That’s like randomly pointing your camera at a scene and hoping it looks good. Your images deserve more care and attention than that!

Great photo editing involves studying the image, determining the goal, and then using the right tools, in the right order, to make your vision come to life.

That decision making process can be difficult, even if you already know what tools are available to you!

And that’s why I created this tutorial. I’m going to give you a look inside my head as I edit 11 images, from start to finish, so you can learn how to make those important decisions to transform your own images. To do it, I’m going to share two essential things with you:

• The How: Exactly which tools I’m using, and how they’re changing the photo.
• The Why: The reasons why I’m making the adjustment to achieve my goals for enhancing the image.

Because without that essential “why”, post-processing won’t be able to bring the best out of your images!
