0:00 Intro
For this image I wanted to restore details from the shadows and nicely balance the exposure. Also, I added rather heavy glow to a few areas to add some kind of light bleed effect. Of course, that’s not something for everyone, but I think it looks cool. Most of the editing here was done in Adobe Lightroom, while I used Photoshop to do a bit of dodging and adding motion blur to the clouds in the sky.

0:25 1. Basic raw adjustments
First, I adjusted the white balance slightly. Then, I increased the exposure to get a natural looking brightness. As this overexposes a few parts, the highlights were dropped. For a nicely detailed image I added texture and clarity.

2:00 2. Local Adjustments
Using a graduated filter, I darkened the sky slightly by bringing down the exposure. Another graduated filter was added over the foreground. Again, I dropped the exposure a bit to make it darker.

Using differently sized radial filters, I added the light bleed effect above the cliff on the right side. To do that, I increased the blacks and dropped the dehaze inside those radial filters. I added another radial filter over the waterfall to get more detail in the water by increasing the texture and clarity some more.

4:10 3. Color Grading
First, I dropped the yellow and blue saturation, then slightly boosted the green tones. Also, I boosted the green luminance to make the gras patches a little brighter.

5:35 4. Photoshop
Here I wanted to add a bit of motion blur to the clouds to make it look more like a long exposure shot. That was easily done by going to the select menu and picking the select sky point. On that selection I added the motion blur from the filter menu.
