If You've Ever Felt Lost in Lightroom, You're in the Right Place.

My name is David Kingham, and for years, I navigated the powerful but complex landscape of Lightroom. I could get decent results, but I always felt there was a disconnect between the vision in my head and the tools on my screen. That frustration led me to completely rethink my process.

This Isn't Another Preset Pack. It's a New Way of Thinking.

I developed the Rethink Toolkit to bring logic and joy back into editing. It’s a structured, step-by-step workflow that guides you from a raw file to a finished masterpiece. It’s a collection of specific tools designed to solve the real-world challenges that we as landscape photographers face every single day.

The video above shows you the methodology in action. The toolkit gives you the power to use it yourself.

The 7-Step Rethink Workflow

The methodology is broken down into seven logical stages. You simply work your way down the list, using the tools you need for your specific image. This is the exact process covered in the training.

Step 1: Core Prep Goal: To build a technically perfect foundation before any creative work begins.

Step 2: Style Launch Goal: To choose a single foundational "style" that sets the overall contrast and dynamic range for your image.

Step 3: Tonal Adjustments Goal: To refine the light and shadow in your image before thinking about color.

Step 4: Color Adjustments Goal: To make precise, targeted adjustments to the colors in your image to enhance mood.

Step 5: Detail Adjustments Goal: To selectively enhance texture and sharpness for a clean, crisp final image.

Step 6: Effects Goal: The fun part! This is where we add atmosphere, mood, and dimension.

Step 7: Selections Goal: To provide you with perfectly refined, ready-to-use selections for your own unique adjustments.
