Cities make great photographic subjects—but they also have photographic challenges. Buildings can appear distorted because of lens distortion and optical phenomena such as converging parallels that make them appear to lean. And the shadows cast by buildings present exposure challenges—it’s easy for details to become lost in shadows.
In this course, Jan Kabili details a collection of straightforward techniques for making urban landscapes look their best. Jan begins in Lightroom: optimizing exposure, fixing distortion problems, and making selective tonality adjustments. She also reduces noise, sharpens the photo, and shares her favorite techniques for painting with light. The course concludes with a dip into Photoshop, where Jan makes some final refinements before returning to Lightroom for output.

Topics include:

* Optimizing tone and color
* Sharpening and reducing noise
* Fixing perspective
* Painting with light
* Finishing the photo
