Welcome to my Editing Tutorial:

In this tutorial, we are going to run through my entire editing process from import to export. I will focus on explaining the thought process behind the various stages of my edit, not just running through them, because I want to give you the tools to create your own unique style, not just replicate mine.

What this tutorial will cover:

1. Basic Exposure Adjustments in Lightroom
2. Blemish/Distraction Removal in Photoshop
3. Skin Touch Up
4. Global Dodge & Burn
5. Color Grading
6. Eye Enhancement
7. Adding Composite Elements
8. Adding Gradient Flares
9. Export Settings & Crop

We will be working in Adobe LightRoom, & Adobe Photoshop. Prior experience with these programs would help, but is not necessary, as I will explain everything that I do in detail. I will also provide you with many hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow.

Included with this download:

- The full 2:33h editing tutorial

- The RAW file of this image

- Photoshop actions for frequency separation, global d&b, color contrast curve, high pass sharpen, and Instagram compression (to use go to Photoshop > Actions > Menu > Load Actions)

Unfortunately, you may not post the image anywhere online or use it for any purpose other than following along with this tutorial.
