Before and after
In this video tutorial, we will work through the complete edit of the photograph “The Cinque Terre”.
This photograph was taken from one of the viewpoints in the beautiful village of Riomaggiore, in Italy’s Cinque Terre National Park.
In this edit, we will blend photographs with different focus points to keep the image sharp from foreground to background.
We will also explore how best to add a burst of light that enhances the sunlight and creates a much more striking image than the original.
