    Ghostly Mountains Processing Video

    [​IMG]


    My favourite subject in front of the telephoto lens: moody mountains bathing in the clouds. Learn countless state-of-the-art techniques in my longest tutorial ever recorded.

    What’s Included?
    • These three videos contain more than 3,5 hours’ worth of processing together, my biggest Photoshop tutorial ever recorded!

    • Three PSD-files (resized) of “Freedom Spires”, “Still for a Moment” and “Gleam of Dawn” with every adjustment still present.

    • Read-me file with photography tips and links to additional tools such as TK Actions and the last sharpening tool you will ever need.

    What Will I Learn?
    This is my entire workflow for a misty mountain photo. In three videos, we will cover:

    1. Simultaneous Raw pre-processing

    2. Aligning layers by hand using the Difference Blending Mode

    3. Selecting the best parts of different images shot in rapid succession: birds, changesin light, etc.

    4. Creative Controlled Warping

    5. Leading the eye with darkness and light

    6. Cloud dodging and reflected light dodging

    7. Luminosity Selections (RGB Channels and Tony Kuyper’s luminosity masks)

    8. Post-Processing for a dramatic film-look, straight from the fantasy films of Peter Jackson set in Middle-Earth

    9. Matte Painting - the technique actually used in those films to create backgrounds

    10. Selecting the best crops

    11. Orton effect creation and control in Photoshop

    12. Light Bleed and other light effects in Photoshop

    13. Alternatively use Skylum Luminar to create those light effects

    14. Panorama Stitching with a back-up plan

    15. Repairing slightly out-of-focus mountains

    16. Color grading and color corrections

    17. Export and sharpening for the
    Notice: Watch me Edit!
    These videos do not contain audible dialog. There are countless annotations to guide you through what you see me do, but there is no sound. The video is intended to be silent, so you can put some music on and let the creative juices flow. These videos are very competitively priced as a result.
