0:00 Intro
For this image I wanted to make the light and shadows a lot more interesting and give everything a darker mood. For this purpose, I used a ton of different masks, but after all only used Lightroom to edit this landscape shot.
0:37 1. Base Adjustments
I set up the base image by changing the profile to Adobe neutral (to get a flat image), then adjusted the white balance. To get the base-brightness right, I brought down the exposure quite a bit, while increasing the highlights and the whites.
1:58 2. Masks
First, I wanted to enhance the light in the grass in the foreground. Here, I used a radial gradient roughly overlapping it. Here, I simply increased the exposure, the highlights and the whites. Next, I added a linear gradient over the very near foreground. To make the shadows darker in this area, I dropped the exposure.
Next up, I wanted to work on the sky. As we have a nice, clear edge between the sky and the mountains Lightrooms sky selection mask worked pretty well. With this one, I brought down the exposure, then added a lot of contrast and clarity to make the clouds more dramatic. This resulted in a slight yellow color cast. To fix that, I brought down the temperature. To make the top part of the sky darker, I used another linear gradient and again brought down the exposure.
To make the mountains a little more noticeable, I used a color range mask on them and subtracted the sky. On the mountains, I added highlights, whites, texture and clarity to get some more details going on in there. Finally, using another color range masks I targeted the snow on the mountains and further brought u the exposure.
10:30 3. Color Grading
In the HSL panel, I added orange saturation, while dropping green, aqua and blue. For the luminance I raised the yellows and greens to make the grass brighter.

I'm keen to see you use the new masking options in LR updates and also the HDR option in ACR.

I hope the HDR thing will come to windows soon, this looks so promising!
very much enjoyed your journey through your workflow. I love the tip about 'subtracting' by just selecting 'sky' I was always using the brush but for big adjustments your technique is great. I still am challenged to see the 'small' changes when it comes to colours. You say you don't like the blue in the sky. I don't see any blue! 😐 Maybe some day Thanks again
To get a precise mask of the sky (as you have mountain selected) , may be you don't know the trick, you just have to "intersect" the sky mask with... the sky, you can intersect the sky mask (or wathever) with the shy, one or 2 times, ti get a perfect sky selection, that's may be the powerfull hidden trick of lightroom mask, intersect the mask with itself...
