Hi William. Thank God, I've just found your channel and especially this tutorial. This forest scene is the location I prefer to be in, however this type of composition is the one I have the most trouble with. Your explanation on how you overcome the lack of depth with light will be so helpful. Thanks heaps.

Mate! Not sure how you ended up in my algorithm, but what a delight. It’s the delivery man. I am a dunce, but not so much after this. Don’t change a thing! Peace.

At 3:11 in the video, Shift + Delete is for a MAC. For WIndows users, it is Shift + Backspace.

So glad I˙ve found your channel, watched only 2 tutorials of yours and picked so many usefull tips already.
You have a new subscriber here! Looking forward to learn more from you. Thank you so much for your effort

This was an awesome tutorial. I've taken many online courses, many in post proceasing and this short video taught me more than all of them put together. I never thought about the layering of colors in a painting for depth before. I just liked and subscribed and all the things. Can't wait to watch more and try the process on my own photos.

Hi Will, I have a collection of your masterclass videos I purchased in your website library. I have learned an awful lot. Over the last couple months these videos like the one above have helped me put it all together. I'm still not there, but am working really hard to make it. Thanks for all you do on your channel for us, the inspiration and all the images from a far away place. Looking forward to the coming year learning how to see and create better images. Thanks Man

I discovered your channel only recently and I am glad I did. I really like your calm and thoughtful approach to your photography and the stunning images you produce. The post processing sections are very instructive as you describe how you would like the image to look and then demonstrate how to get there without dashing through it. Brilliant stuff. Looking forward to viewing your back catalogue!

That was one of the best tortoriols I've had the pleasure to watch. Great Job. I'll be back for more❤❤❤❤❤

[MikeSimpson]

Amazing video. I agree that many people totally ruin their sunrise and sunset images with over editing. Too much saturation and contrast ruining details. It's interesting to see you describe the focus stack approach and then decide the final look is too flat. Kind of ironic somehow that the edit then becomes about adding depth.

Brilliant! Thank you William. I don't use Adobe software, but I followed your instruction, and it made an ordinary scene (of my back yard!) look stunning. Thank you!

[colinstalker]

Your editing and teaching skills make this a pleasure to watch. Brilliant Will, looking forward to more in 24. 😊

Very unique way of processing (and very effective I might say). The most interesting aspect of this approach is no masks and no tedious selections.Very time efficient. Kudos to you Sir. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Just watched this wonderful tutorial. Post-processing represents a huge challenge for me as I spend my working days stuck behind a computer screen. Still struggling with the concept of work on a computer actually being fun... That said, this tutorial makes PP look doable and fun, so hope to make some progress in 2024!

I’ve watched a few post processing videos on YouTube, and bought a couple of courses, one of which was £££. I’ve watched a few of your tips on here William and it just clicked. So simple, so effective, and I feel my processing has transformed almost overnight. Thank you so much for your time and efforts sharing your experience. I’m looking forward to purchasing some tutorials from you in the new year 👍🏻

That made so much sense. Thank you, your easy going teaching style made that so easy to watch.

[brianbeattyphotography]

really great tips, especially the sunrise scene. with a really colorful sky, those are the images that I find are easiest to over-edit

[matthewhewitt]

This is a fantastic video. I have really neglected depth in my photos and this video has really helped me to see that my photos are quite flat often. Thank you!

[bernym]

Interesting discourse. I especially liked the added 'lens flare' effect coming over the hill. I process my raw files with darktable with occasional use of Gimp. I found I could use the darktable haze removal module with drawn and parametric mask with a soft brush, using a divide blend mode to create a distance effect similar to your woodland scene. It always good to see other photographers edits as it opens up new ideas and helps stop getting in a rut. I too use 'marinade' i.e. a rest period before revisiting an edit. Thank you for the video. Subscribed.

[GrahamMarkham]

Superb, got to start thinking like this. I don't normally think about distance in a you William....

[jameshider]

Will, you’re absolutely smashing these videos. Thanks 😊
