With this image I want to enhance the stormy feel, make the white cliffs stand out a little more, and add some drama and clarity to the sea. The first key to processing any image is understanding what you want to end up with. As you can see, there is plenty of information in the image to work with, but it lacks drama. It was shot in RAW, using a Fuji X-T4 with a 55-200mm lens at 55mm. I had waited the best part of six hours in my car for the light to become right. It was taken at Cuckmere Haven on the South coast of England.

This is the image that we are going to work with. The Unedited Image This is the unedited RAW file that we will work on. I am a keen advocate of a real-life type of tutorial and as such, today I would like to demonstrate how I edited a seascape picture using Lightroom. Lightroom can be very difficult to master, especially for a beginner in photography. As well as being possibly the best image management app on the market, over recent years it has become a superb RAW editor as well.Īll that power, however, comes at a cost. Lightroom is an extraordinarily powerful program. I believe it's always useful to see how various shots are edited in Adobe Lightroom – this can help you become a much more skillful photographer.
