5 Tips for Editing Landscape Photos

Processing landscape photos is quite different from editing other types of photos. Follow these tips to make sure you use the right techniques.

1. Use RAW File Format

RAW is an image file format commonly used in digital cameras but it’s now also available in modern smartphones. Since it doesn’t compress the images to reduce file sizes, RAW is considered to be the best image file format for professional photography.

Especially when it comes to editing landscape photos, use RAW images as it gives you the opportunity to work with the original photograph that hasn’t been affected by compression or quality reduction.

2. Adjust Colors Individually

Photo editing apps like Photoshop and Lightroom allows you to enhance the colors of a photo using different hue and saturation adjustments. When using this tool, try to target different colors individually.

For example, if you’re editing a landscape photo of a lush forest, you may want to target the greens to make the color stand out from the rest.

3. Remove Lens Flare

Lens flare is a common issue most nature and outdoor photographers have to deal with all the time. Thankfully, you can get rid of lens flare using modern photo editing tools without much effort.

Professional photographers use a technique to get rid of lens flare by taking multiple photos of the same scene, including ones while covering the light source. And then combine the images to remove the lens flare. You can learn more about it in this video. Unfortunately, this is not a process you can automate using a preset.

4. Sharpen Images Appropriately

Are you editing a landscape photo for a print magazine? Or processing travel photos for Instagram? Think about where and how you’ll be using your photos as it plays a role in how you need to edit the images.

For example, if you’re processing landscape photos for online use, your images will likely be heavily compressed when it’s uploaded to a platform like Instagram or Facebook. Take this into consideration when sharpening your images. Watch this video for a tutorial on sharpening.

5. Use the Right Filters

You’ll also want to add special effects to your landscape photos, especially if you’re going to be uploading them to social networking sites. Adding filters, toning, and color-enhancing effects are quite normal in landscape photography. However, remember not to overuse filters in a way that destroys the natural quality of your photos.
