Скачать или смотреть Complete Bird Photography Editing Workflow in Adobe Lightroom Classic – EP2 | Himalayan Griffon

In this video, I walk through my complete bird photography editing workflow in Adobe Lightroom Classic of a Himalayan Griffon, with blood over its face from scavenging, from start to finish.

This edit focuses on a natural and realistic look, preserving fine details, controlling highlights, and keeping colors true to the scene. The aim is to enhance the image without overprocessing.

The photo was captured in Chopta Valley, Uttarakhand, and the video covers my full thought process — from the RAW file to the final image — including denoising, global corrections, masking, color control, and sharpening.

This is Episode 2 of the lightroom workflow series.

What’s covered in this video:

AI Denoise workflow
Global exposure and light correction

Subject and background masking
Color correction for natural tones
