This week’s tutorial is to take an image and convert it to a matte image. I have used two photographs, one of Henk and myself (that you have seen before) and a landscape shot I took yesterday. I did my editing in Lightroom and here the clarity is lowered and the vibrancy set to your liking and then the play comes in the Split Toning and you do have to play to get the look you are after, also saturation plays a big part in this process. I was particularly interested in the effect on a landscape scene, so I have posted before and after.
