The tutorial is very well organized, covering everything from setting up the site and camera to post processing. I had the opportunity to travel with Daniel and saw firsthand how he approaches post processing when time allows. This tutorial captures that approach in a clear and concise manner.
I do most of my post processing in Lightroom but sometimes will also jump over to Photoshop to do more advanced workflows such as detailed dodging and burning, luminosity masks, exposure blending. If you have any questions about my workflow or would like me to do a post on other editing techniques, leave a comment below or shoot me an email - jule...@gmail.com

This is more than just a tutorial on post processing an image. Throughout the course I want to give you a broad arsenal of tools for modest and advanced adjustments to create spectacular photos. I share my workflow, philosophy on editing, what mistakes to avoid, and a ton of tips and tricks you can apply to make your photos stand out.
"I primarily used Lightroom for basic editing then exported into Photoshop for additional cleanup and local luminosity adjustments through the use of a third party plug in. What I've learned from Photoshop for Landscape Photographers has given me confidence in editing my work from start to finish in Camera Raw and Photoshop as well as a deeper understanding of the many possibilities that Photoshop offers to turn a seemingly boring scene into a beautiful photograph or a beautiful scene into something very special. I feel the need to go back and re-edit all my past work with what I've learned in this course. It is a game changer for me". Mark Goeman
Other good options for this stage of the post-processing workflow include Luminar, On One Photo RAW (affiliate), Alien Skin Exposure (affiliate), Topaz Labs (affiliate), and Photo Wiz. There are of course others and you should work with what you have available.
In this final step of the post-processing workflow, we apply any special effects to the image. When I completed my initial assessment of the example photo, I commented that the lens I was using made the image appear too sharp. This created a harsh look when I really wanted to achieve a soft effect.
At the end of this workflow, you can confidently save your image as a finished master file. Then when you need to share or print the image you can always return to and use this master file as the starting point.
This tutorial will take you from the on-location capture all the way through Elia's post-processing techniques in the studio. To produce a truly unique landscape tutorial unlike any other, we traveled to Italy, Cambodia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and New Zealand so we could teach lessons in a variety of shooting situations. From the ancient temples of Angkor Wat to the modern skylines of Singapore and Hong Kong, Photographing the World has something for everyone interested in cityscape photography.
Fstoppers.com has once again teamed up with Elia Locardi to produce a second travel tutorial titled Photographing The World: Cityscape, Astrophotography, and Advanced Post-Processing. When compared with Elia's first Fstoppers tutorial on Landscape photography, everything in this tutorial is bigger, longer, and more advanced. With more than 15 hours of video content, this tutorial will take you around the world to 5 different countries and 7 unique cities spanning from ancient architecture all the way to some of the world's most modern cities. Join Elia as he walks you through how each image was captured on location as well as the entire post-processing techniques he uses back in the studio. From the cherished ancient temples of Cambodia to the iconic cities of Cinque Terre, Rome, Singapore, and Hong Kong, Photographing the World has something for everyone interested in improving their cityscape photography.
Using a combination of traditional in-camera techniques, targeted times of day, and advanced post-processing methods, Elia has developed a widely recognized and highly unique style of travel photography. With each photograph, his goal is to share his vision so others can see the world as he does, full of color, texture, depth and emotion. Fstoppers is excited to team up with Elia to share even more of his advanced photography process as we transition out of the natural landscape world and into some of the world's most incredible man made cities and wonders.
This full cityscape and astrophotography photography tutorial is broken down into 20 lessons including an Intro to Gear and Intro to the Basics chapter which covers all of the gear, scouting tips, composition techniques, and camera settings Elia uses on a daily basis to create his stunning imagery. With the tutorial download, you will also receive access to his RAW files and reference Photoshop PSD files. This means you can follow along with your own edits as Elia teaches you every step of his streamlined workflow from start to finish.
Unlike the previous Photographing the World Landscape edition which starts at a very beginner's level, Elia's workflow in Cityscapes and Astrophotography dives into much more complex post-processing and editing techniques from the beginning. A solid understanding of Photoshop is required to follow along in this tutorial so we recommend purchasing the Landscape tutorial first before graduating into this more complex workflow. Also, unlike the previous Photographing the World tutorial, Elia wanted to share the exact workflow he uses for his own photos which means he will be transitioning from Lightroom as his RAW processor and using the CaptureOne software suite to make base file adjustments. If you prefer using Lightroom, Elia has taken some time to explain how you can get very similar results to his in the Intro to Post Production section of the tutorial. Our goal was to allow anyone to follow along regardless of which software they are using.
This looks like an amazing tutorial. I'm curious to get feedback on how you would recommend to tackle all of this knowledge. I'm fairly new into the post processing world and really picking up photography are a really long (20 year) hiatus. The cityscapes is labeled advanced vs intermediate on the landscape series. Given how much material each of the tutorials have, my situation is that I travel quite a bit, 5 to 6 big trips internationally a year but I'm usually in large cities with great views. (Singapore, Bangkok, London, Hanoi etc.) and I don't find myself out in nature as much as I used to. Some of the techniques you use are things I've been looking for, but would you have a strong recommendation to start with the intermediate techniques?
My question about the tutorials is the next: "have they subtitles in English?"
I'm from Spain and my English level is enough to understand Elia but some specific words about post-processing are really complicated to me and with the subtitles it would be a little easy to translate and learn everything.
I am a beginner photographer and started just a year ago with HDR and I work several hours a day on my photo. I discovered this set of tutorials wen I was looking to do less HDR as I liked the dynamic range but less of the saturated look. I have discovered the two tutorials recently. If I am still a beginner i do know the post processing softwares although I had not used photoshop in such and extensive way before.
The lessons are exceptional and covers it all extensively. All lesson are divided in two half for shooting : choice and variance in composition, shooting from single image to bracket, long exposure, choosing ND filters, effects and of course time and light in the scene. After the shooting comes the post processing of every shot. And the good part also is that you can see Elia reproduce some of his portfolio images and it's very interesting to see how he does it. All lessons come with the RAW images, the processed and the final PSD with all the layers.
Lastly, I just want to mention that the accompanying musical score for this tutorial is awesome. I looked forward to the start and end of each video, along with the shooting->post processing transition just to hear the score.
This is the second series of video tutorials dedicated to Cityscape and astro photography and as the first episodes it doesnt disappoint at all.
In this videos Elia shows us advanced techniques of postprocessing to overcome difficult lighting situations the travel photographer has to face when at work.
Every aspect of his workflow is covered: from preparing the raw files to complex blending with luminosity masks, from colour separation to selective sharpening and denoising.
And on top of that Elia explains to us the tricks and tips behind his trademark technique "moments in time".
We can well say that all possible scenarios are covered making this tutorial really worth every penny invested in it and an absolutely essential tool to bring your own photography to the next level.
And the quality is outstanding: Elia is a great teacher and the filming is top notch. Not only are you introduced to the latest techniques in post processing but you are also treated to some of the most beautyful places on earth amazingly filmed by the F Stoppers crew.
This is a journey into what travel photography should be.
My verdict? Highly recommended!!
If the first tutorial was great, the new one is a masterpiece. These guys have done a wonderful job and all of us can learn a lot from every lesson in the new tutorial.
Elia's techniques are simply amazing, he is an amazing teacher and a wonderful person that can show you the best part of this great art.
I think that buying both tutorials has been one of the best investment i have done in photography. Forget about expensive gears, buy this one instead if you want to become a better photographer, if you want to learn everything from shooting session to post processing and if you want to see the world from a different perspective.
I can assure you that after the first lesson you'll wish to take your bag and gears to start exploring the world because this tutorial can give you a new way to think, and can make you a better person :)
