Scott leans heavily on thoughtful, restrained post-processing rather than flashy effects, and a lot of that happens in Lightroom.
From the examples you saw:
- He uses Lightroom’s Develop sliders (especially in newer versions) to recover skies and balance exposure, often from a single well-exposed frame even if he bracketed the scene.
- He prefers local adjustments over global ones (brush, gradients, radial filter) to bring out detail only where it matters, leaving other areas more natural.
- He dials in cropping and composition refinement in Lightroom before moving to plug‑ins for final creative effects or selective blur.
Is there a specific kind of landscape look you want to achieve (dreamy, dramatic, high contrast, etc.)?
