Beginner landscape photographers who are making the jump from shooting JPEGs to capturing RAW image files would do well to check out the below tutorial from Mark Denney. In the video at the bottom of this post, Denney discusses five beginner steps to edit better RAW landscape photos.

Sunsets and sunrises are perhaps the most popular scenes among landscape photographers. Unfortunately, though, sometimes the resulting images don’t look quite as awe-inspiring on the computer as they did through the viewfinder.

If you're unfamiliar with the term "ghosting" as pertains to photos, it's basically a type of flare that occurs when stay light reflects off the surface of a lens and make images look hazy with little contrast. It's an unsightly artifact that degrades the quality of an image—particularly when shooting into the sun.

This tutorial from the PHLOG Photography YouTube channel will be really helpful the next time you capture seascapes or landscape photos from the shore of a lake. As instructor Christian Mohrle says, "This Lightroom trick will make water reflections "POP!"

There are numerous reasons you may want to extend the background of a photo, either side-to-side or up-and-down. Perhaps you shot an image in portrait mode and you realize it would look better as a horizontal image. Or maybe it’s the reverse.

It's particularly difficult if you don't have a portfolio yet, and don't have a YouTube or Instagram following as big as, say, Los Angeles-based boudoir photographer Michael Sasser's.

Today's Photoshop tutorial addresses a very common problem that many of us encounter when shooting landscapes, environmental portraits, and other photographs outdoors. It occurs when your camera is pointed up or down, rather than flat to the horizon.
