Before and after post processing

[ddt0725]

I bet it was quite a learning curve! I wouldn't know how to replicate your work that's for sure.
If you still have the psd files with layers it's quite an easy fix. Just mask half(for example) of the bottom part and add a few new lines, one on the left, one on the bottom and one on the right side.

How exactly did you process the photos by the way?

I already closed up the file and only saved the jpeg of the manipulated photo

I came across the "how-to" on this website ....

Lots of cool tutorials here and I hope to try a number of them!

Nice one Denise - I agree with Jan, the bottom edge is a bit wide but otherwise they're great.

Thought I'd post a couple of before and afters to show the power of RAW files and the hidden details you can drag out of them. There are no colours etc masked on top of these images (i.e. to make the sky blue etc) but I have applied a couple of graduated filters, contrast, clarity and highlights/shadows adjustments. I don't normally have any sort of standard workflow, mostly trial and error. All done in Adobe Lightroom 4.2 and just the text added in Adobe Photoshop CS6

That's too bad Denise. The tutorial is really nice, thanks for sharing!

@Ben, WHAT!!!!??? Lol I always knew you were good with photoshop, but I also imagined the Aussie landscape to be much more interesting than my place. Your photoshop work looks amazing. You really should teach us(or only me) some of your moves, this is really good. By the way, big thumbs up for the compositions, they are very well done.

Ah thanks a lot Jan. If I get a chance I'll put together a bit of a workflow on one of these to show what I've done. Pretty sure the editing history will still be in lightroom.

The landscape out here is highly variable, probably because it's such a big expanse of land. There's some really incredible spots but plenty of flat areas with very little vegetation, particularly where we live.

That looks entirely different. Really like the final image.

@Ben and Eric - Those really are fantastic! That transformation of the evening lake shot is amazing, Eric!

I have so many old photos that I never did anything with until recently. Here are a few ...

For some reason, I can't resize the original ..."error on page".

Nice work Denise! I like the second.
