After a good month of hard work I have finally released my latest project which is an extensive range of Landscape Photoshop Tutorials for the digital photographer. (click to view range)
When teaching landscape photography to my students on my courses I always emphasise the importance of embracing a digital workflow to take advantage of RAW image capture.
The video tutorials come in three topic areas. Masterclasses | Retouching Techniques | Tips and Tricks
In my Masterclasses the tutorials show you step by step the process from start to finish that I use to create my images starting with Adobe Camera RAW development then moving to stitching using Photomerge and then final post production in Photoshop.
In the Retouching techniques tutorials I show you Photoshop skills used to edit, adjust and enhance your digital work. The Retouching techniques can be purchased individually or in packages.
Then finally in Tips and tricks I have tutorials on topics that I use and come across in my everyday work as a landscape photographer that you may find useful.
All the tutorials are recorded in high resolution with clear audio and can be viewed on both PC and MAC. The tutorials are available as instant downloads or can be mailed out should you not wish to download them.
In total there is over 1 gig worth of tutorials available and I have plenty more Masterclasses in development along with retouching techniques and more tips and tricks. All new tutorials will be advertised on the blog.
Hi Matt
I just watched your tutorial on ‘The Entrance’ shot of the boat. Beautiful shot and the video was very informative.
I have a question about noise reduction and sharpening. I noticed you didn’t do either in the video, is this something you normally don’t do or does it depend on the shot? Also is sharpening or noise reduction best done during the RAW conversion or better done in photoshop when doing the other adjustments?
Cheers

Thanks for the feedback Dave.
I personally dont do any sharpening of the image in RAW I do that in PS. I either use the High Pass Sharpen method or Smart Shapen.
As for noise reduction I find the files from my Canon pretty good so I have never really felt the need for this but I would use the feature in RAW. Though I think a better work around would be buying the PS plugin called Noise Ninja.
Hope this helps if not just ask. Cheers
