Inspawration Editing Process & Rationale: Start here!
In this FULL, step by step tutorial, we delve Em's editing process. A lot of people ask: "How would you edit xyz" or "Can we have an editing tutorial on abc"... but the fact of the matter is, 90% of her edits follow this same basic process or set of steps, adjusted to each individual photo. Starting here, you can get a feel for not only her "base process" but also the rationale for why she uses this workflow. Duration: 1hr 10mins
Deep Forest Greens
Editing Pets & People: Ike & Cecilia Tutorial
Let's edit this CUTE photo of Ike and Cecilia amidst the mossy woods. We're going to pull contrast from the background, brighten up the dark dog, work on her skin, and shape the light from above, all in 1 hour of video.
Edit Together: Forest Sheltie
Combine 3 RAW file images to create one panorama, giving Pitrie enough room below his feet and space above his head space for him to look into. We also use a fern overlay for some foreground blur/to add a bit more depth, then do quite a bit of work to create a "deep dark forest" mysterious mood. Length: 1hr 30min
Edit Together: Forest Boxer
Using LR & PS, we work on this photo of a Boxer, getting light on the face, shaping the light, shifting the colours of the greens to create more contrast with the dog, dodge/burn/contour the face, and more. Length: 1hr 25min
Sadie in the Woods: Full Tutorial
Full editing tutorial of Sadie in the woods. This started as a live session but my computer died. Normal process including removing a person by using another photo of the location, shaping the light (a lot) shifting colours more toward cyan, enhancing the hazy effect in the background. Length: 45 minutes

Edit Together with Em & Sabrina
Join Emily and Sabrina as we welcome the Learning Journey members of April 2023 aboard with a super exciting editing tutorial - we take one of Sabrina's images and take it in turns editing, explaining the process, talking about what we do differently and why, and giving you two options for how to edit the one photo! Length: 1hr 50
Edit Together: Winter Sunshine
Join Em & Sabrina for another live edit! This time, a simple backlit photo of Border Collie Zap in the winter grasses. We may make a panorama using extra photos, and will take it in turns to discuss our editing process as we work - let's see if we end up with dramatically different photos! Length: 1hr 40
Backlit Amie: Full Tutorial, PS Only!
This full tutorial uses PS only, but NO RADIAL FILTERS. If you use an editing program that doesn't have radials, this is for you. We edit an underexposed, backlit image of Amie, brightening her, darkening highlights, shaping the light, bringing more warmth to the colours, with a focus on non-destructive/reversible editing. Length: 1hr 15min
Edit Together: Flower Crown
Full tutorial, following the normal process, removing the slight green tint, warming up the image, creating an open vignette, dodge & burn/contouring. Length: 1hr 18min
Reflections: Full Tutorial
