The Concept
The concept is to sculpt the architecture using brightness values. Enhance areas of highlight and shadow to control your vision for the photo. I prefer a low key photo with minimal areas of highlights that demand the viewers attention.
The basic Editing Process
Create a good base layer that contains a full dynamic range from white through to black and has no clipping. This should be created from a RAW photo. Before converting to black and white, select the various facades of the building that you wish to change. After converting to black and white we then use curves to control the brightness of the different regions. We then make global adjustments to contrast including vignetting if need be. Utilise a creative tool such as Luminar to push your creative vision to the next level.
Below is an overview of the steps we follow in the fine art editing workflow:
1. Create a base layer with a good dynamic range
This can be done in Lightroom by boosting the shadows and controlling the highlights. The black and white points should meet the end of the histogram but they shouldn’t clip off the edge. A raw file should be used at this stage for the best results
2. Create selections of the different areas of the building
Utilise selection tools to isolate the building. The pen tool is great for this
3. Convert the image to black and white
There are so many black and white conversion methods. Most aren’t great but there are a few that stand out. The more flexibility the better. For this example, we’re going to use the Black and White adjustment layer
4. Use the premade selection to brighten and darken. Enhance the 3D feel and add emphasis based on your aesthetic preference. Use a curve adjustment pulled downwards to darken and use a curve pushed up to increase brightness. Also, consider giving areas of your building more visual interest by adding contrast with an S curve.
5. Make global adjustments to contrast by adding an overall Curve adjustment Layer with an S Curve.
6. Let your creativity loose by loading the image into a tool such as Luminar for the finishing touches.
7. Consider adding a vignette to control the highlights that are at the edge of the frame. Do this by again adding a curves adjustment layer and this time bring the right-hand point that controls the highlights downwards. Then create a radial gradient mask to control where the effect is applied. Refine this with a brush if necessary.
8. Post to Instagram and look like a photo ninja!

Dear Anthony.
Don't listen to negative opinions off the negative people. You are good and helpful man, with good personality. Thank you very much for all the efforts and the good tutorials.
I appreciate that Maher! It seems so silly that for all of the kind and positive comments it's the one or two negative ones that stick in my mind and nag at me. Thankfully it's taught me to be more resilient and realise I'm never going to please all the people all the time and to carry on regardless. Thank you for your kind words 😀🙏
The reflections on the building really give away the sky being photoshopped. Here you have a long exposure sky, with short exposure cloud reflections.
Thanks for reiterating what I said at 15:35. Totally agree, and although a relatively simple fix, I didn't want to push the time of the video out any further, so I ommitted this step. As encouraged at the beginning, best bet is to capture it all in one frame in camera. Cheers for the comment C North.
Absolutely loved this. Please do more. Indeed, more on black and white in general. Your tutorials are always so easy to follow and I love your relaxed, easy and gentle way of teaching.
Thank you Yvonne.
Harshly negative comments about your personality are symptomatic of the personality difficulties of the person commenting. I find your instructonal style clear, to the point and effective. i don't need to see you groggy and mumbling in the dark. The fully awake Turnham is just right. This video was very helpful and much appreciated. Thank you .
Cheers Vernon 👍. I appreciate your kind words. 🙏 And yes, there's only one person that needs to see me groggy and bleary eyed in the morning and that's my wife. I'll keep it that way from now on 😆
Wow. I really appreciate your style of teaching the concepts and talking about your thought/creative process. You're a good teacher. Thank you Anthony.
I appreciate that Stefan! Thanks very much 😀
Don’t sweat it man, you are doing great. Remember, what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger! LOL! Excellent tutorial. I am definitely going to try that technique.
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I really appreciate and learn a lot from this video. ❤❤❤
Yet another great tutorial. Thanks Anthony.
I love your presentation of things
Cheers amir
This is an amazing tutorial Anthony, thanks very much for your time!
Nice one. Cheers Adam. That means a lot.
I find your videos to be very educative. I have learnt alot watching them. Regarding nasty comments you mentioned in this video...just ignore them! Keep being yourself and true to yourself. That is why we watch your great videos.
Thanks Jozef. That means a lot 👊
Lots for me to learn with this type of video Anthony- more please
Great Post production. Awesome Image. Thanks for the tutorial.
I’m looking at taking my photography into new directions. This is the first of your content I’ve watched. Very informative, thank you for that. There is so much content on UA-cam, but not that much which comes across as genuine. You do. Keep up the good work mate. Thanks again
Thanks so much, Andrew. That really means a lot. Cheers for watching!
Anthony very good explanation, excellent step by step procedure.. Thank you very much for sharing...
Great video, very informative. I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing!
Great tutorial, thanks!
awesome video! thanks man
Merci beaucoup. Bonne continuation et excellente journée
Thank you for sharing your experience and your professional work, its very helpful and straight forward
Cheers Ammar
Your a star Anthony, wonderful relaxed approach, explained brilliantly, dont worry about any negative posts, their just jealous, you have a unique skill that is very envious to some, i've been a fan of photography for years and seen a lot and i can assure you, you are in the top ten.
Wow, thank you John. Very kind of you to say so🙏 😋
Very helpful and thank you for a clear explanation step by step. So glad you’re not using music in the background which ruins so many videos.
You are so welcome! Cheers for the feedback Darius.
Another great tutorial, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Thomas
Great tutorial - and nice personality. I’m so tired of all those UA-camrs that goes all crazy for what ever no reason they have.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
Your delivery is great. Thank you for the informative video. I learned a lot.
Cheers Chris 🙏
Just "discovered" you, your work and your tutorials this morning. And I'm so glad I did.
You're very good and it's refreshing to hear your insights and knowledge. I need this kind of information.
Don't listen to the putz who was mean to you in his comments.
To many people in todays world never learned how to be courteous and kind in dealing with others.
They never learned these gifts from their parents (if their parents ever learned from their parents}.
Keep on giving us your insights and experience.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you Augie! I really appreciate your viewership and your kind comment. Welcome aboard Sir! 😀
Excellent tutorial Anthony, thanks a lot man!
No worries! 😀
thank you so much I am very grateful. I learned a lot from your editing.
Thanks Reza. I appreciate you watching 😀
Great information, thanks!
Cheers Jeff.
Absolutely top notch instruction love it love it thank you thank you
You are very welcome George. Glad you enjoyed the instruction. Great to get feedback like that so thank you very much 🙏👌
I like your style!
You are doing great man! I am trying to find my way into Fine Art editing but I am still a newbie to Photoshop. So I guess, I have still a long road to go but your help is much appreciated Anthony. Keep it going!
Cheers Andreas. Best of luck for your photo editing journey!
Brilliant tutorial Anthony, you deserve a nice comment🙏🙏
I appreciate that! Thanks
Thank you so much for this. I just found your channel and it’s great. I think you are great don’t listen to the trolls
Nice video, thanks for share!!
Thanks 😃
I never thought going to that extreme in processing, bug it work to create another reality. Thanks 🙏
Sometimes it's a lot of fun just to let loose and create something completely new and different from the original photo. I'm an artist first and photographer second so I love to create! Cheers fro the comment Julio 😀
Really Helpful video ,NGL this was the thing i was searching for and you have explained it really well
Brilliant. Glad I could help!
Brilliant video. Thank you. More please on this technique :)
Thanks Mark. Yes, I'd really like to do some more videos like this.
BRAVO
Great videos! My name is Santiago, I’m from Uruguay and I’m a architecture photographer too. I saw all your videos about this and 👏🏽. Keep doing it!
Thanks Santiago! Hi from NZ to Uruguay!
Great tutorial 👍
Cheers Mitchell
Really great video, great content and presented in a calm relaxed and understandable way. Liked and subscribed and 'saved' the video to a play list so I can come back to consult it later. Many thanks!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for your kind feedback!
Wow, the power of what a coffee can do! Haha. Love the intro :)
I always start the day with a nice strong coffee (or two). Without it I'm broken! ☕☕👌😜🏋️♂️💪
Enjoyed this video. You won a new subscriber.
Really like this image.. looks so 1950’s to my eye. Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Awesome, thank you James! 👍
Good your videos again! Sound is much better than previous two videos. No problem to hear clearly although it is not perfect. The echo comes from bass. It is even better if I turn down the bass of my speakers. Thanks, Anthony!
Thanks for letting me know Jack! I appreciate it. The sound distortion had been really bugging me and it turns out when I did a windows update it reset all my mic settings without me realising. Anyway, much better - good to know. I'll look into the bass side of things too. Cheers. 😀🙏
Hey there, greetings from Denmark ;-) Thanks for a good tutorial and explanation, it's great some of you talented guys shares your "how2". Enjoy the upcomming holidays 🙂
Your personality is fine 👍 nicely presented.
Thanks a lot 😊 Much appreciated!
100th like! can't believe I have not found your channel sooner. It's a goldmine. Thank you for sharing your techniques ;)
Just waking up here in NZ. Nice comment to get up to. Thanks so much. It's comments like this that encourage me to keep sharing the info. :)
you are awesome man
Thanks Amin. I keep telling my wife that but she's not convinced. Haha 😆
Very nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
You do a great job and have a good personality. Trust me and not the trolls.
Thanks 😀 Much appreciated.
Enjoyed this video. Thank you. I love the edit on the whole. While I have no issue with the sky edit, I do feel that the “long exposure” sky doesn’t go with the “short exposure” clouds in the glass reflection. Just didn’t quite sit right with the eyes.
Yes I would have liked to address that in the edit too. I think time kinda ran away on me.
Id totally ignore what trolls say; i love your tutorials. Insightful, illuminating and very educational. Unlike said troll comments. Keep up the very good work!
Thank you!🙏
There's some pr1cks out there ignore them and keep making the content we love to watch
Thanks Dylan. Yeah, they're out there, unfortunately. I guess the trick is to just navigate your way around them. Cheers for the comment mate. Much appreciated.
Perfect, and my City, Warsaw ;)
Awesome! And such a great city it is too. I really enjoyed my time there!
great video
Thanks!
Just watched your video. I am not an architectural fine art photographer but I would like to have a go at it without it being my full time photographic pursuit. I enjoyed the video and your presentation. Judging by the rest of the comments I would say don't worry about one negative comment and keep on doing what you did in this video!
Thanks Pat! Great to hear :)
just discovered this video, great tutorial and easy to understand. i actually like your demeanor more than the faux energetic look that most try to go for. also suits your subject matter.
hope i get to see a tutorial on how to replace the cloud reflections on the building too.
Awesome, thank you! I'd love to do a tutorial on the cloud reflections being replaced but I'd really recommend shooting the subject with an ND filter on a tripod in the first place so the movement in the clouds is captured in camera.
@@AnthonyTurnham yes nd filter is best, although i would like to know how to fix cloud reflections during those times i cannot do an actual long exposure.
That was a great vid. Thanks for sharing your editing techniques. Encourages me to take my photography in a different direction. Thanks again 👍👌 PS Would be interesting to see how you could correct the sky reflection in the building!
was wondering about the same thing
Just seen this. Very helpful thank you. Sub'd
Thanks for the sub Michael!
I prefer using the color selection option. Then just remove the blue on the building from the mask. Its much quicker. Sometimes I take a copy of my picture and increase the contrast on only that layer to get a more perfect selection. Its really fast.
Great video mate. I would love to see a detailed video on the selections process, its the area I'm struggling the most. Cheers
Noted! Thanks Aramis7
@@AnthonyTurnham Thx. There's a couple of things that I find challenging, for example in the image you processed here, there is a very thin rail on top of the main building. I have faced exactly the same situations on another images (e.g. the Sydney Opera house is a classic example of this, it also has a very thin rail on top) and its extremely difficult to select that properly a blend with the sky later. I had to resort to selecting by colour or brightness. Anyyway thx for the video and looking fw for more. cheers
I like your style of speaking and this kind of video is very informative. For me that's better than e.g. Peter McKinnon, seriously. You encouraged me so much that I have to go to this building in Warsaw this weekend and exercise fine art photography ;)
Hey thanks so much Edward. I really appreciate your kind words! I hope you get a good shot of the building. I really enjoyed my time in Warsaw. Such a great place!
Enjoyed this although it was not clear how to create new paths and when you move into channels how the selections you made with the pen tools in Paths transfer over to channels. still trying to work that out but nice video and inspired to do more of this
Thanks Phillip. Hold ctrl and click on the path within the paths palette. That will load it as a selection. You can then create a new channel and fill with white / black based on the selection to create a channel you can reuse as a mask at any point.
Take no notice of those horrible comments Anthony . They have nothing else better to do with their boring lives anyway.. Love watching your Videos, keep them coming my friend. look forward to your next one
Thanks Keith. That means a lot. 99.9% of my comments are positive. It's funny how I get consumed by the nasty ones.
Anthony, your "Fine Art Architecture' tutorial was excellent. Some points were covered a bit too quickly for my learning and could have used a bit more explanation like some technical aspects of the gradients and using CTRL + i to blacken a white mask rather than Alt + shift.
If someone is so insensitive as to insult your personality then just refer him
to Phlearn for a cast of characters.
Hi Richard. Thanks for watching and the feedback 😀 CTRL + I is just a shortcut for inverse. IE anything black becomes white and vice versa. Funnily enough the guy since came and apologised for the remark which I respected. It was actually a wake up call though as it made me realise it's not just about getting the info out there for people but also delivering it in an interesting way.
Great video Anthony. It would be great if you could show a camera raw and then the finish image at the end.
Thanks Nick. Usually I do use a before and after shot as part of the intro. Not sure why I didn't with this one.
Great video. I’d love to see more of this type of processing with strong B&W. I’ve watched Joel Tint.... but I always fall asleep as he tries to explain things. I know everyone isn’t a natural teacher but I do like your style. What was that coffee? I look dreadful until about 3pm
Haha! Nice one Rob. Yeah I love this style of processing so I'll definitely try and put something else together. Is it just architecture you're interested in or this style regardless of subject matter? ...I'm enjoying a nice espresso coffee as I write this. Arabica beans I believe... very good!
Blurry clouds in the sky, but sharp clouds in the reflections.
Seems legit!
Legit for sure! 😆 Just a minor oversight.
Great content Anthony. Learnt a lot from this video. You are always going to get the odd idiot , so just ignore them and just carry on as you are...
Cheers Andy. Much appreciated.
NIce explanation, preperation and presentation. Not a criticism, and you might not agree, but when compositing, its always best to stack your layers back to front. Its a cleaner workflow. The sky should be placed on your bottom layer stack. In addition, when you convert to BW, you can get better results in LR, especially if merging HDR and exporting to PS. It works in 32bit. This gives you a 16bit image in PS, which will allow for smoothing gradients and eliminate any banding that gets introduced. Lastly, you might consider a Motion blur in the window reflections to hide the fact you comped in a differant sky.
All very valid and solid points Daniel. Certainly if you're able to shoot on a tripod (unlike me in this example) then a bracketed 32bit HDR file to work with is the best choice for sure! And yes, I do normally do my b+w conversions in lightroom or ACR. You're right, it's a very good way to process the b+w.
Thank you for this video I was looking for a while now and I hope it will help myself to do such rendering.
Just a question, have you got any good information for creating detailed selection and storing them in PS ? Thank you very much.
I'll have a look at your other videos, looked the one with B&W architectural in Luminar. But I think the ones on architecture will be of interest.
Keep on your good work and thank again for sharing. And keep on coffee ;-)
Cheers for the nice comment. Funnily enough I'm writing back while enjoying a nice morning coffee here in NZ. 👌☕. Hard to give a full overview through the comments but yes there are a few ways. Save your alpha channels with your files so they're always accessible with that psd, or save the selection itself through the PS menu. Or create vector paths and save them. I'd Google them for more info on how 😃
Greetings from Warsaw. I really like how you've transformed this boring hotel into Gotham city style one. Nice job.
Thanks man! Loved my time in Warsaw. My tour of Legia Warsaw stadium was cool as was the amazing science museum. So much to see, so much history. Great city! 👍
@@AnthonyTurnham Glad you like it. Try Kraków next time, as it wasn't damaged during the WWII there's much more architectural gems there.
And moreover I really appreciate your tutorials, learned so much from you. Thanks.
Hi Anthony, just discovered your channel, have liked and subscribed, just watched your Fine Art Architecture tutorial, but I found pretty hard to follow what with all the selections you did in PS. Is there any tutorial that you you do that covers this at a slower pace?
Thanks for a great channel, very inspiring,
Cheers,
Dave Hartwick.
Thanks for the sub and for watching David! Currently there isn't a slower paced version I'm afraid.
Thank you for so great video, I have a doubt for this kind of photos must be only during the day or can be in the afternoon or nigh?
Hi Mario. You can have success with these type of photos at any time. The results will be slightly different depending on the lighting. I've got shots I love in overcast conditions, bright sunshine, morning, midday and noon. Best bet is to get out there and experiment and see what works best for your tastes.
great tutorial! can you make one with Luminar alone for those of us who don't have Photoshop or Lightroom? Thanks
I'm working on it for you right now! Watch this space. I'd love to give you a shout out for the request. What's your name?
Great edition! Thank you.
Just a minor issue. The old sky (clouds) is reflected in the building glasses
Thanks. Yeah, that would need fixing you're absolutely right!
Thank you. You are very didactic. Congratulations
Hi Anthony, I've just found your channel and really appreciate this tutorial. I've been struggling with fine art b&w recently. Some of the steps you went through a bit too quickly for me and although I can, and will play it back, I think you were probably explaining to more advanced Ps users. Some issues I have come across are getting messages in Ps such as "gradient too not available as content is not directly editable and a red mask covering the selection I have chosen for editing. So, more tutorials on fine art architectural b&w would be gratefully received.
It was so nice NOT to get a tutorial starting with "Hey guys, whats up"!!
Thank you Nick. Great feedback. When you get that red mask it's likely you're in what's known as "quickmask" mode. If you press the q key you can toggle between that and the usual "marching ants" selection mode.
@@AnthonyTurnham Thanks Anthony. I'll use that tip. Keep the tutorials coming. Cheers from UK
do you have a video on making the masks?
Hello Anthony, nice work. Quick qs, how did you select the cantilever grill at the top of the building. Painstakingly using pen tool or did you have some tricks up your sleeve? Thanks in advance.
Great question. I did the edit a little while ago now so not 100% sure! I think it was the pen tool for accuracy. Yes... painstaking. It's possible though I used the channel with the most contrast between building and sky and created the mask that way. Damn my memory!!!
Hi, I write from Brazil. Great video. I have a question: how could the panes with the reflection of the clouds be edited? Thanks.
Good question! And, unfortunately, one that yields an answer too long-winded for the comment section. Sorry Jorge.
Great vidéo Anthony :) - I really like your mood, and the presentation. Keep it up Bro.
I would like to know which shortcut did you press to add the 2 selections to the layer mask at 13:37
Thanks in advance
Thanks 😊. CTRL + SHIFT and click
@@AnthonyTurnham Thanks Bro for your quick reply... I was referring to the shortcut after CTRL + SHIFT and click...
After CTRL + SHIFT and click, I go to layers, click on the Mask, then CTRL + I, but I don't know the next shortcut to invert it in order to have the building in white on the black background on the mask... Please help 😊
@@henridongo5674 I'm not really sure because once the mask (not the layer itself) is selected, pressing ctrl + i together should invert the mask. IE what is black become white, what is white becomes black. You can do it through the menu too but it does the same thing - or at least it should. If I'm still missing what you mena please give me a time stamp to see where you're talking about. Ta.
Hello Anthony … I tried again watching Joe Tint … but I never understand what he’s doing! Have you used his BW Artisan Pro? If you have used it could you please incorporate it in a future video. I know there are many people out there struggling with using his software😳
No nasty comments from me mate, thought your vid was excellent if not a bit fast, maybe i'm just a bit slow but your doing a great job, keep it up, it's about the content not the person making it. The dude with the nasty comment is obviously jealous.
Thanks Mark 👍 I appreciate your support :)
Thank you, Anthony, for this very interesting tutorial.
I realize that it takes a lot of practice to change a capture into the picture as I envision. But this helps me getting there. Of course I could buy books or courses of well known colleagues which can be found on the internet but paying more than GBP1,000 for a day for me is not feasible for me as an amateur. Keeping the house warm is more important!
Just one thing I wouldn't do and that is to import a sky. To me it feels as cheating. It's only one step towards one capturing an amazing sky and importing a wonderful landscape from somewhere on the internet and changing the two into an award winning picture. Sorry, even if I couldn't get the picture as I wanted because of not being allowed to use the tripod (or having forgotten it, or.. whatever), it's important to keep up the necessatity of having experience ans kills and yes, also the luck sometimes to be able to win over the challenges you are faced with as a photographer, being professional or amateur. This is part of the essence of the art of photography in my opinion. Nevertheless again I really appreciate this tutorial.
Thanks Jan. Nice feedback. 🙂

Good video, very informative !! 1 question, how did you mask the 2 railings at the top of the building? They looked too thin to mask around.. Thanks in advance... P.S. I don't think you're boring !!! LOL
Thanks Joseph. I did this one a while ago, but if I remember rightly I used the pen tool to tediously make the railing selection.
Hi, beautiful work.
I know it's a lot to ask but I would really like to know the step by step to make these selections, not marking them with the pen but how to introduce them and save them in the channels for later use.
Fair enough. I'll bear that in mind for a future tutorial.
@@AnthonyTurnham Thank you Mr. Turnham, I look forward to the aforementioned tutorial.
@@AnthonyTurnham Thank you Mr. Turnham, I will look forward to the aforementioned tutorial.
Wanna know which application I need to use if I don't have laptop !! Just phone
Sorry mate. My recommendation for this type of work would be invest in a laptop or desktop. A phone doesn't really cut it. Sorry.
love your videos especially the fine art B&W. Keep them coming. Have you come across Joel Tjintjelaa, his work, and the Photoshop panels he has created?
Thanks Tony. I'll have a look into Joel's work. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@AnthonyTurnham that was supposed to be tjintjelaar and his website is bwvision .com
@@TonyVeinberg Just had a look. Lovely work. I'll have more of a purusal.
What did you mean at marker 13:35 "I feel these with black"?
"I fill these with black."
How much feather did you use for the selections?
Hi, I can't recall exactly now but I always keep my feathering pretty tight to avoid halos as best as possible. I find 0.5 to 1.2 pixels works well for me but obviously different resolution images will need lightly more or less. I'm shooting on a 45mp sensor.
Which steps could be done in Luminar?
Hi Pierre. The initial file prep for sure. That's basically editor stuff. The sky replacement would be a lot easier too. The more difficult part is the masking. Luminar rocks in so many areas but PS has the edge when it comes to masks. The finishing is all Luminar, so basically it's just the selections! Great question.
What lens do you recommend for this type of photography? Thanks.
Something light. Mid to wide zoom. Something with a common filter thread size so you can put on an ND filter.
I think this was with my mid 24-70 maxed out at 24mm...
@@AnthonyTurnham thank you! I really enjoy your tutorials and insights. You're very helpful.
Anthony, I've just stumbled on your channel while looking for tips on fine art architecture postprocessing and although I'm primarily an ON1 RAW user, I think your ongoing advice is going to be very useful to me.
I like to think of myself as a moderately advanced amateur and being retired, I have plenty of time to experiment.
Looking forward to perusing your back catalogue of UA-cams. - Cheers from Perth (WA).
PS - May the miserable p***k who said you have no personality accidentally delete his entire collection of images! 😀
Anthony, would you be able to help with getting Lumina 4.3 working through PS.......just purchased this after watching your videos and it seems to have issues. Looking online, this appears to be a common occurrence with the latest version. Would be great if you could assist. Thanks Christine
Hi Rerro Rocher (that's making me hungry!) So, funnily enough, my plugin just decided it was going to stop opening through PS too so I tried these suggested steps and now it's working again fine... hopefully, it'll work for you too.
Make sure that Photoshop is not running.
Open Luminar.
Click File > Install Plugins...
Click 'Uninstall' next to the Photoshop icon.
Restart your PC
Open Luminar.
Click File > Install Plugins...
Click 'Install' next to Photoshop.
I found you have to be in administrator mode for it to have the correct permissions. :)
@@nathanthournmy6478 thanks Nathan.....lol about the hungry comment! Currently, I can't get into Luminar at all. It is just hanging at the splash screen. I have uninstalled, but still nothing. Quite frustrating I must say
Hi Rerro. Sorry to hear that. Did you try the steps Nathan suggested? Maybe contact the Skylum help desk if you're still not having any joy.
@@AnthonyTurnham thanks for getting back to me Anthony. Managed to sort the issue out. Not a perfect fix yet, but at least i can open up Luminar now.
The part everyone leaves out when they show this process is how to isolate each area of the building when the selections are adjacent to each other. I have watched a lot of videos and everyone shows us the individual selections but not how they created them
Great tutorial, love your work, however, exactly that point where I wanted to know how you remove the cloud reflection you skipped it :-) maybe another time.
As to those who write nasty comments, you simply make sure you block them so that you spare them future agony and in a way you help them :-) absolutely nothing wrong with your presentation!
Lots of photographers are starting the image off in Lightroom, why can't it be done in Photoshop?
LR is a great place for the raw edit as it keeps all that info for your photos in one catalogue so it's great for organisation. Adobe Camera Raw could be used to start the edit too though. It contains the same raw editing tools as lightroom.
