0:00 Intro
I wanted to make the original photo a lot warmer with stronger orange color tones throughout the picture while also making the blue tones of the sky a lot darker to create a strong contrast in the top part of the image. All of the pot processing for this photo was done in Lightroom.

0:20 1. Basic Adjustments
I started by changing the profile to Adobe Landscape, then adjusting the white balance temperature to make the base image warmer. I increased the exposure, the highlights and the whites for a brighter picture and for more contrast, I brought down the shadows. To get a sharp shot, I added some texture. Finally, added vibrance and saturation for more intense colors.

2:27 2. Masking
I started by adding glow on the right side. Here, I used a radial gradient and simply increased the blacks, the whites, the temperature and brought down the dehaze. To make the blue sky darker, I used a color range mask and dropped the exposure. I used a linear gradient over the foreground on which I dropped the exposure, while increasing the highlights, texture and clarity. Then, I added another radial gradient over the mountains to introduce some more clarity.

7:14 3. Color Grading
First, in the HSL panel I increased the red hue and dropped the yellow hue. This leads to overall more orange colors in the photo. For the saturation, I slightly pushed orange, while dropping yellow and blue. In the split toning I added a warm and very saturated color to the highlights and a less saturated warm tone to the mid tones. The shadows received a subtle blue color.
