- In this quickedit video I‘m creating a dreamy forest landscape image using #Adobe #Photoshop for the #Postprocessing.

My goal for this photo was to get well saturated green and yellow colour tones. Besides that, I also want to add fake sunlight coming in from the right side and overall apply a dreamy, hazy look for the picture. I’m only using Adobe Photoshop for the editing, that means for the raw adjustments I was using the camera raw editor integrated in Photoshop (which Is basically Lightroom with a different user interface). This shot could have been edited in Lightroom as well, I just was too lazy to import this picture there.
First, of course I activated the lens correction setting, then switched the colour profile to Adobe Standard which will help me bring back details from darker areas and also make the photo a bit more ‘flat’ so I have more control over the contrast. Since the base shot was very dark, I increased the exposure first, this will lead to overexposed highlights, so I dropped them, and then increased the shadows and whites. To make the colours more saturated the vibrance and saturation both were increased.
This all resulted in a super flat image with a lot less contrast, to fix this I will be using local adjustments, tone curve adjustments and HSL adjustments. So, for the local adjustments I created a few radial filters. First one was for the glow in the upper right corner of the photo. To add this glow, I increased the blacks and reduced the texture which will make this area a bit more hazy. Then I created a big radial filter to create some fake vignetting, making the outside of the image darker. The last radial filter was added in the centre to make this area brighter by increasing the exposure and whites.
For the colour grading I was reducing the yellow saturation just a bit and the increase the green and yellow luminance as well. This will make those two tones brighter. Then I applied some split toning by adding a warm tone to the highlights and a green / yellow colour tone to the dark areas, since this in my opinion fits nicely for a forest photo. After the raw adjustments I added some more local glow in the upper area by creating a new layer in Photoshop (hard light blending mode), then using the brush tool to paint in glow carefully! Finally I used the spot healing brush to get rid of a few branches.

well done!
Thank you!
Wonderful tutorial! I have a question: why did you put the Radius slider in the Sharpening to 0.5? Usually people tend to increase this value to about 1.7 for landscape photography. Thank you!
Brill 👍🏻
👏👏
Great shot and edit. Are you also using lightroom for this kind of edits?
Thank you very much! This would be double in Lightroom for the most part indeed!
thanks :)
Glad you like it mate!
Man that would take me hours to edit like this
Oh it took me hours as well, I just cut all the unimportant steps for the video haha :-)
Awesome edit!
Got a question. Around minute 5:00 where you are brushing in some of the orange light. I see circles when you are brushing, instead of lines (If you know what I mean). I saw this in your other videos. How do you do that?
Thank you very much!
Since I'm using the brush tool I'm painting in circles (I could use a custom brush to paint in lines as well) and this way creating this glowing area on the upper right. Hope this will answer your question, if not feel free to ask more!! :-)
@@ThePhlogPhotography That's not really what I meant :) You click and hold the mouse button in one spot, move your mouse to a different spot thus creating a circle, which is larger the further you move your mouse away from your original place (where you clicked the button). As far as I know this is not the default behaviour of the brush tool, is it? The default way would be - you select the brush, click and hold, move mouse to a different spot, and that creates a line. Your move creates cirecles. I wanted to ask how is that possble? Did you d something to your Photoshop so that the brush is a little different from the default one? Some add on?
Wait, I just realized. I had to test it in PS. You hold down Alt and right mouse button to change the size of the brush, then you click once, and this creates that circled brush. OMG, that was confusing but I got it now :) Thanks!
@@samsatanson Ahhh sorry I got that wrong! Exactly, I'm using the shortcut to make the mouse bigger / smaller and also softer. Then I'm not really brushing a line but instead I just click once or twice to brush in the circle!
How do you make the dot in the filter green? I cant get it to edit inside the filters...
check the value of shadow part, you have to work on that
can you give us stock to practise
Hi, are you selling your presets?
Hey, currently I'm not selling presets, sorry mate :/
