People often ask me, how I achieve these high saturated colors in my images. Well, one answer is: shoot, when the sun allows colors to glow, like in early morning and late in the evening. But to be honest, at home I often push them even further by retouching. In the following video tutorial it’s shown how (using the lab mode in photoshop).
Additionally the tutorial will show, how to improve your travel images really fast with blending options.
For full size HD quality check settings in the bar at the bottom of the video.
(By the way, after I created actions for some of the moves shown, I got down to less than two minutes per image, if in hurry.)
Great tutorial Arved, did you self learn or go to college? I need to learn to process my images better and think college would be the best option for me, finding a course is the hardest part. Keep up the good work!

Hi Ian,
All photography related stuff I taught myself by books, internet ressources (some of them linked in the column on the right) and lots of practice.
These techniques I got from a great course from http://www.lynda.com by Chris Orwig about retouching all kind of portrait and beauty shots. They were two of several steps in his course but suiting very well as standalone for travel images I found.
Brilliant my friend! I’ll look out the resources at Lynda.com, I feel that post processing is my biggest photographic weakness and though not all of my images are very strong I want to make sure I make the best of what I do take. Thanks again Arved, very useful.
