MASTERING POST-PROCESSING. Everyone knows that getting it right in camera is only the first step. The "Digital Darkroom" videos will empower you to make the most of your images every time.

My post-processing style is a big part of what makes my work stand out. It gives photos a certain edge. Makes them look more dynamic, yet realistic. I'll teach you all my techniques.

Load up the provided RAW files of all 4 winning photographs. Watch what I do in Adobe Lightroom step-by-step and do the same. I'll explain all my actions as I make them. You'll understand the Why, not only the How. As a result, you'll be able to make the right decisions when post-processing your own images.
