Robert RogersPhoto editing programs don’t work miracles, but they help a lot. It’s like money. It doesn’t bring happiness but let’s recognize that helping helps. Well, this is the same. You will not achieve the perfect image with an editor, but if you have a photograph with a good base, it can improve it.
- Make A Good Composition
Yes, right, this has nothing to do with photographic retouching. It is essential to know what type of image we want to capture before the shooting, know what we want to obtain and correct the errors. To do this, I recommend that you read this post in which I gave you nine tips and tricks to improve your composition.
- Adjust Lighting and Contrast
Now, yes, we start the task with the first step. I’m not going to tell you what you already know (or should know), which is how important lighting is in a photograph. Light can be the protagonist by itself, and it can go from spoiling an image to making it wonderful, but this is another topic that we have already talked about in other articles.
- Adjust the White Balance
After adjusting the lighting and contrast, we move on to other basic level adjustments such as white balance. It is best to have a shot in RAW because you can adjust it with just one click. Otherwise, you will have to do it manually. The following image has been modified with the Photoshop Express “color balance” tool.
- Focus Your Image
Another parameter that you can easily modify when retouching your photos and that will help you improve them is the focus or sharpness. It will be more or less convenient depending on the type of image it is. For example, in a portrait, you are not too interested in increasing the sharpness because all the skin imperfections will become more visible, and I do not think that the person portrayed will find it funny.
In bridal photo edit (edit foto pengantin, which is the term in Indonesia) these tips will be helpful for it to be successful.
