Complete Workflow - Iceland Highlands
Iceland Highlands is the next installment in my Complete Workflow series of courses. It is a comprehensive tutorial that takes you from start to finish through my image processing workflow. Using a range of techniques, I guide you in crafting a final image that expresses an artistic vision of the stark landscape and captivating light. Being able to follow another photographer's entire workflow is a valuable way to pick up new ideas and learn new skills.
The course features the tools and techniques I use daily so you can see what my actual workflow looks like. Applications include Lightroom Classic 13, Photoshop 25, and the TK9 Plugin. Wherever I can, I show how to do the techniques both with TK9 and without. However, note that some of the advanced masking steps aren’t practical or possible without it.
The TK Plugin is not included with this tutorial. You can get the TK Plugin on the Tutorials & Panels page.
