One of the biggest challenges faced by landscape photographers is arriving at a proper exposure when shooting scenes with a wide-range of tones that exceed the dynamic range of their cameras. In such cases conventional camera-settings or editing methods may not be up to the task.

With many tasks in Lightroom there are several ways to get the job done—some easier and more effective than others. That’s very true with using presets: There’s the conventional approach and a better method, as you’ll see in the quick tutorial below.

Photoshop’s easy-to-use Healing Brush is typically considered a tool for editing portrait photos, and rightly so because that’s how it’s often used. But it can be very valuable for cleaning up other types of images too.

As a photographer, improving your photography workflow leads to more time for shoots, booking more clients, getting paid quicker, and ultimately, running your business more smoothly. 

Perhaps we’ve raised a few eyebrows with the headline above, since we constantly preach the importance of slowing down and taking a thoughtful approach when shooting in the field. But hold on for a moment, because the valuable advice you’ll learn in the tutorial below isn’t really a contradiction at all.

If you’re struggling to capture beautiful landscape photographs near where you live, because there’s no time to travel to an exotic location, that’s going to change after watching the tutorial below. And it’s not going to cost you a dime—just 15 minutes of your time.

If you’re just getting started in landscape photography, welcome to the club! You definitely have a lot to learn, but don’t feel intimidated because expanding one’s skills is part of the fun.
