Common Editing Mistakes To Avoid

Access a HUGE sale on my Landscape Editing masterclass here:

When I first started my photography journey, I was reluctant to post process or spend any time developing those skills, and this certainly showed in my work. Over the years I've developed a simple, intuitive and highly effective way of processing my RAW files and dynamic light.

In this video I want to share with you some of the common mistakes I made early one, in the hopes that you can skip this frustrating phase and start getting solid results sooner rather than later!

Absolutely brilliant analysis of the "I want to see everything" problem so many suffer from. I have been guilty of it myself!

[radim_spitzer_seascapes]

so much information in this video! Love it. Really appreciate the time and effort with these, William!

[ronmarsalis]

Really well put together William, your tips simplified many key editing concerns needed to create a natural look that many of the pros online just cant properly convey. Great job.

[GuilM]

Thank you so much ! It's been a year I'm doing landscape photography and I'm so proud of the progress I made month after month and it's all thanks to your tips. Keep it up !

[lisarobertson]

love your subtle processing - thanks for this !

[bearcherian]

I could watch you do this all day. Your calm and soothing voice is also quite inviting. It's like Bob Ross, but for photography. Great video!

What a wonderful video yet again. I love the fact it is not only technical, slide this, slide that, but also clearly explaining why you are doing it, explaining the "artistic" reasons for it. I have to watch this a couple of times before really grasping all the details but I can't wait to try this out on my images. Thank you so much Will

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. The absolute best part, as others have noted, is you including your thought process and reasoning for each adjustment. Well done.

This was brilliant. It confirmed some of my assumptions, and also i learned a ton. Most people that share photography tips show just the HOW, and don't really know how to articulate the WHY, and explain why something looks good to the human eye. Thank you so much gor sharing, these tips are invaluable!

[kevinmcdonnell]

Will, another fantastic and valuable lesson. Selective and subtle and in moderation. Thank you again for the words of wisdom and the tonal guidance.

[davidligon]

These editing examples are very helpful and inspiring. This is definitely one of the better ones I’ve seen. Thanks for the food for thought.

[dertomh]

This video is awesome. Thanks for giving out this information for free

[richardsmith]

Thanks for the discussion of contrast between foreground and background elements. I hadn't thought of it the way you described it. I'll definitely be changing my post processing procedures. Thanks again.

[marcowolfart]

Wow. So much value on this video. Keep up the good work mate! 👏👏👏👏

[SonjaBella]

Thanks Will, your tutorials are always informative and easy to follow. Really appreciate the videos you put out 👍

[MegaDwilkinson]

Awesome instruction as always Will - thank you for sharing your expertise so generously

[Ben_CoombeNz]

Great step by step walkthrough mate! Very subtle final image. Looks awesome 😎

[stuartbell]

Thanks Will! I've always loved the way you edit, how you travel the viewers eye through to the to the hero of the image. Great tips and insights as usual, keep it up mate!

[krzysztofchudoba]

Just started experimenting with photo editing after delaying it for so long, trying to focus primarily on video, and the explanation of the step by step process of localised adjustments just completely changed how I view editing. Can't wait to try this out

Your patience is very evident when you teach, William, and much appreciated.
A very beautiful image here. I oh so wanted you to bring out more gold highlights in the foreground grass, but you explained why you didn't, and I understand. (Even so :)
Loving your Masterclass; taking lots of notes.
