Watch me edit this in 5 minutes, then show me your edit!

I made this short video workshop showing my editing process on this shot so we could talk about the anatomy of a good edit. It’s only about 5 minutes long!

I’ll just me suing using some of my favorite tools from Filmist, Lumist and Alchemist in Photoshop and Lightroom and I’ll show you how I get this image balanced and ready for print with just a few minutes.

If you guys like this fast study format, drop a comment, and we will try to make more in the future. You can also find all the add on’s I used in this here on the site.

Next, SHOW ME YOUR EDIT: DOWNLOAD THE RAW FILE and edit this yourself and see how it looks. Then head over to the post on our Facebook page and share your results.

Enjoy! – Gav

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
