Goal and Vision
In this Lightroom 4 video tutorial, we will be showing you how to enhance the detail and expand the dynamic range of a single raw image using the Lightroom 4 Preset System and techniques that we teach on the Lightroom 4 A to Z DVD.
As always, for those that may not have the LR4 Preset System, we will show you each step of the process as we walk through this Lightroom 4 edit.
The goal and vision with this image is to create an image with enhanced detail, contrast and dynamic range without crossing over into the “overdone HDR” territory. Watch the full video tutorial below.
