How to Color Correct for an Editorial Photography Look – Lightroom Video Tutorial

June 30, 2011 - Article by Pye

(The Lightroom video tutorial in this post is just under the introductory text below. The working files for this Lightroom video tutorial can be found just above the video.

While there are many styles of post production when it comes to editorial photography, there are certain attributes that seem to be common among editorial prints.

In this Lightroom video tutorial, we are going to be working through two example images, first post producing them to be color correct, then tweaking the color correction slightly to look more like editorial images.

We will be covering editorial styles in more detail when we get to the artistic effects, however this should be a decent primer to get you guys started.

To see all Before and After versions of each image from this tutorial, please visit the Photo Album on the SLR Lounge Facebook Page.

Enjoy!

    I am newer to LR and I can’t locate the editorial option.  It is not in the preset on my program.

    Wonderful and interesting. Only the mouse-movements are a bit too fast to get all the details (where to click for what effect). So I have to watch it many times. Thanks anyway!
