High ISO Concert Photo (Workflow Example #5)





In this tutorial we work on a High ISO photo of David Sanborn in Lightroom and Photoshop. The spot healing brush is used to remove an unwanted object, and Nik Software's Dfine is used to reduce noise. I will show you how to use blend-if in Photoshop to quickly and easily mask the noise reduction, allowing us to use a strong setting without ruining image detail.

Outdoor Wedding Couple (Workflow Example #4)





In this Lightroom workflow tutorial, we look at an outdoor wedding portrait that was taken in direct sunlight, and work to reduce light where we don't want it, and add light on our subjects. Tools used include HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance), Adjustment Brush, Radial Filter, and crop tool.



Part of this example shows how have strong color saturation in a photo without ruining skin tone. We also shift the color of the blue tones to make sure the groom's tie is the right shade of purple.
