In this video, I will share some tips and tricks for editing high dynamic range images in Lightroom to hopefully give you some ideas for your own workflow. I will edit a photo I took of an RAF A400M at Birmingham Airport in July 2020.

Please comment with feedback about the video or with questions relating to the tips I have described. Also follow me on Instagram @anthony_fogarty_aviation

I usually start with the tone curve just to find a good basis for editing. I never thought about optimizing the "dehaze" feature before, just once in a while. Thanks for the advice!

very informative video, which is exactly what i have been trying to find for so long. most of the editing tutorials for aviation photography out there are 40+ minutes, which isnt easy to sit through. this was very helpful and quick thank you!

Glad to see someone else who uses the Adobe Landscape profile on airplane photos. I found it gives me a head start on recovering the shadow and highlights details. It does add a bit of a color shift, which isn't so noticeable on this black airplane but whites can turn a little cyan with it. Interesting use of dehaze. If you preprocess with DxO PureRaw or Lightroom's Enhance, noise should be almost a non-issue.

I wish you could move the panels up
or down within LR, such as the Lens Correction panel. Thanks for the great tips.

Very nice, thanks for showing. I didn't know about the circular mask can be controlled this way so it can be limited to affect the aircraft only

Very informative. I always used to forget the lens profile and chromatic aberration until I found out how to set it as a default on import.
