Beat’s Software-Tools

Capturing the image is only part of the process. My workflow continues with careful editing and post-processing to bring out the full potential of each photo. Here are the tools I use to refine my work:

Adobe Lightroom

Adobe Lightroom is my primary tool for photo editing. I don’t use Lightroom to manage my photo library. I perform global edits, adjust colors and contrast, and apply presets that match my photographic style.

Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop comes into play when I need more complex adjustments – like advanced retouching, layer blending, or removing unwanted objects. It’s also perfect for preparing photos for print or web with precise control.

Topaz Labs Sharpen AI

When I need to rescue slightly soft images or enhance fine detail, I turn to Topaz Sharpen AI. It uses machine learning to sharpen intelligently without introducing artifacts – perfect for handheld shots or slightly blurred images.

Photomatix Pro 7.1

I use Photomatix for high-dynamic-range (HDR) photography. It helps me blend multiple exposures seamlessly, especially in scenes with extreme lighting contrasts, like sunrise or sunset.

Mobile Editing Setup

While traveling, I take my HP Z Series laptop, which is powerful enough to handle all editing tasks efficiently. It ensures I can keep up with my workflow on the road, whether I’m in a remote cabin or a city café.
