examples in the editing videos
The image below of a ranch in Pillaro Ecuador is one that I use for <anchor>examples in the editing videos</anchor>. The first one with a warm yellow tint was the first edit I made and printed. In fact it's still hanging in my office and I think you see it in the intro video at the top of this article. The second one with the white fog and orange moss on the rocks in the foreground was a new edit I did while working on these videos. I used to apply a color toned filter over the entire image; mostly because I didn't know any better. Now I only enhance colors selectively when I think they add some impact to the image. This is an example of how my learning has changed my editing style over the years. The full photoshop file with layers is included in the tutorial for you to see my workflow on the image and to experiment with.
