2. Basic Photo Editing Workflow
Step 1: Choose the Right Image
Start with a high-resolution, well-lit photo.
Avoid blurry or low-quality images.
Step 2: Crop and Align
Use cropping to remove distractions and focus on your subject.
Straighten tilted photos for a clean, professional look.
Step 3: Adjust Brightness & Contrast
Balance light and shadows to make the image pop.
Avoid overexposing highlights or darkening shadows too much.
Step 4: Color Correction
Tweak saturation, warmth, vibrance, and tint to bring out natural tones.
Watch out for oversaturated colors.
Step 5: Sharpen and Smooth
Slight sharpening helps define details.
Use smoothing tools (especially for portraits) to reduce harsh skin texture.
Step 6: Add Filters or Effects (Optional)
Use filters sparingly to enhance mood or consistency.
Stick to a cohesive aesthetic across your edits.
Step 7: Add Text or Graphics (for Social Use)
Use clean, legible fonts if adding text.
Canva is great for adding stylish typography or branding.
