How to Edit Landscape Photos

Our cameras can’t capture nature quite like our eyes can. That’s where software tools like Lightroom and Photoshop can help! Learn how to fix exposure, rescue details, color grade, and even create your own HDR and panoramic images.

Nature & Travel Photography

Travel and landscape photography is a craft all its own. We show you how to approach editing these images with a focus on composition, simplicity, and natural, realistic adjustments.

Fix Exposure

The sun is an important part of landscape photography, often informing how we capture light and colors in our images. But, since it’s such a bright and powerful light source, it can pose some problems as well. Learn how to balance out exposure, dialing down the brightness of the sky, while lightening the shadows of the ground below.

Lightroom and Photoshop have powerful tools designed to help image makers of all types. From RAW adjustments, to HDR and panorama, to compositing, learn how to use each to enhance your nature and landscape photos!

Rescue Color & Details

Stunning HDR

HDR stands for high-dynamic range, and it’s a method of combining multiple exposures of a scene to create images with beautiful detail throughout the highlights, midtones, and shadows. Learn how to blend overexposed and underexposed photos together for detailed skies and rich landscapes. Want to master HDR? Try How to Create a Manual HDR!

Epic Panoramas

Sometimes a scene just can’t be crammed into a 16:9 or 3:2 aspect ratio. If you want an ultrawide view of a landscape, we show you how to stitch multiple photos together for a truly epic scene.

Landscape Photography Tips

All of the included RAW photos were photographed by Aaron Nace, allowing him to provide valuable tips and insight into how he photographed each image.
