SUMMARY

Christian Möhrle demonstrates a Lightroom editing process to correct vignetting and flat tones in long exposure landscape photography. The workflow begins by cropping out heavy vignetting caused by stacked polarizing and ND filters. Möhrle then utilizes AI removal for distractions, switches to Adobe Standard profile for a softer base, and adjusts highlights to retain color. Masking techniques are employed for targeted adjustments to saturation, temperature, and exposure, followed by precise tone curve and color grading to achieve warm, airy results.
