With this photo, my preset Pink Creme Light (available for purchase) barely needed to be tweaked to get the perfect shot! It’s one of my favorites and I use it for everything They work so amazingly at giving you a base of where to start on working with the photo. Lightroom can honestly be a little tricky to figure out, so even when I started I bought a bunch of presets in an Etsy shop. Most of the time when I edit my photos, my presets are set perfectly for the aesthetic I’m going for but sometimes I have to brighten and remove a specific color if it’s screaming too loud. Here’s where we get into my presets and a few tweaks. I’ll do this a few times until I get the desired results. Here I will use the icon Light and highlight areas of the photo I want to brighten. If Snapseed can’t brighten the photo the way I want, I switch to Adobe Photoshop Fix. Always bring up the ambiance in the shot before the Brightness and I also like to reduce the warmth if there’s too much. When editing the photo with Tune Image, I focus on Brightness, Ambiance, and Warmth the most. Sometimes I will also use Rotate do straighten the photo if my body isn’t centered. Details will sharpen the image and Selective works really well at choosing specific spots in the image you may want to brighten. I very rarely use any other tab, but the other two I use are Details and Selective. On this app I use the Tools > Tune Image tab. If I didn’t have a specific color palette, I would probably leave the photos the way they look when I’m done editing them on here, but I like to play around more with lighting and color. Once we got that all taken care of, we move on to the next app, Snapseed! If you don’t already own Snapseed, what are you even doing with your life? This app is PERFECT at brightening your photos. Here you’ll see the before and after of the edit of the photos when I removed a few tiny details I didn’t want in the shot. It’s really great for people who are complete and total noobs at photoshop! It’s honestly amazing. Honestly this app is AMAZING! It works so well at removing things in the background that you don’t want in the shot. What I mean is that when I apply the preset there is still a lot of editing and color changes that go into play to match my aesthetic! I hope this helps! How I Edit my Photos for Instagram RetouchĪfter I get a shot that I want to use, the first thing I do is go on my Retouch app. Obviously you know by now that I sell my Lightroom presets on my Etsy shop (linked to my blog!), however what you may not know is that I use these as a base for my photos. I get asked a lot about how I edit my photos for Instagram, and how to use my presets so I thought I would create a blog post showing how exactly I would edit one of my photos.
