Join me as I walk through a quick and intuitive edit of a dramatic landscape from Machu Picchu using ON1 Effects. This scene has a lot going on — moody skies, layered mountains, and rich textures in the ancient stonework — but with ON1’s powerful masking and preset tools, we can bring out the best in every element without overcomplicating the process. I’ll show you how to enhance depth, add contrast selectively, and guide the viewer’s eye through the image with just a few smart adjustments.
In this video, you’ll see how easy it is to build a natural-looking edit step by step. I’ll start with a balanced base, then work through localized enhancements using the Effects stack and masking brushes. Whether you're new to ON1 or looking to refine your workflow, this session will give you a solid sense of how to approach complex compositions with confidence — and have fun doing it. Let’s dive in and breathe life into this stunning view of the Andes.
