Getting Your Images Print Ready
An in depth tutorial on colour grading, sharpening and denoising Arctic Landscape Images in Lightroom.

Lightroom is a super powerful tool that I use in 100% of my landscape photography images. Lightroom’s basic functions are amazing but sometimes other specialized softwares work way better. This does not mean that we need to forgo Lightroom, but rather just install the plugins that can help our image output results in order to be print ready.

A lot of students that join me on photography tours bring their expensive gear to the rather expensive photography tour with no clear vision of how to get a return on their investment. As much as photography is a great hobby, it can be a super expensive one. This is why I’ve created a print store set up challenge for my students, clients and guests to learn the workflow from importing and organizing photos, to editing, to managing noise and sharpness in order for our prints to look world class when printed for them or for their own fan base / clientele or network. It’s super important that if you come home with images, stories to tell that you have an outlet to sell your images if there is a demand.

This is a portion of the workflow where I will showcase some colour grading in Lightroom from a Greenland Photo Tour expedition in West Greenland and then I’ll show you the plugins and how I go about using them.
