Photoshop How To

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: Lightroom is such a deep image editing and organizing program, most photographers only scrape the surface of what it can do. And that’s fine.

The key is to make Lightroom work for you and your images, not the other way around. To that end, landscape photographer Nigel Danson shares his handy, easy-to-understand Lightroom tips, which he says will “transform” your photos and help take them to the next level.

“Lightroom allows you to take your photo and create the image you visualized when shooting,” Danson says. “It is 50% of the creative process and an important step in getting great photos. In this Lightroom tutorial video I talk about how to process a photo in Lightroom with these 7 simple tips.”
