Essential Photo Editing Techniques.

In digital photography, picture editing—also known as post-processing or postproduction—is the

process of modifying images with a photo editing program. It is the equivalent of a darkroom indigital photography, where pictures can be edited after a photo shoot. When a photographer hastaken pictures during a shoot and chosen the best ones, photo editing is done.

Simple Picture Editing Methods

To organize and edit photos, the majority of seasoned photographers utilize editing programs

like Adobe Lightroom. With the help of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, you may create almost

any effect you can imagine. Lightroom is a comprehensive and sophisticated editing program.

When processing, photo editing software like Lightroom can be used to apply a variety of image modification techniques. While some editing tools allow you to make general improvements to the quality of your images, others let you make more focused edits to a certain area of the image. You'll use the following photo editing software for basic editing:

Sharpening: A technique that makes a photo appear sharper by increasing contrast wherever a light area and a

dark area meet.

Noise Reduction: Is a technique for eliminating any "noise" in a shot, which is typically brought on by drastically underexposing a scene or using a high ISO. Noise is not thought to be nice and is not grain.

Corrects lens : Corrects lens aberrations that were introduced during image capture. As every lens is unique,

photo editing software like Lightroom automatically chooses the best setting for your lens.

Corrects distortions : Corrects distortions brought about by taking a picture that isn't precisely square to the subject.

For example, if you shoot a building from the ground you will need to tilt your camera up to

catch the complete building; in the photo, the building's walls will look like they are leaning toward

the center of the frame instead of being straight up and down. You can correct this with perspective

correction to make the structure appear square.

Grain: Gives you the option to creatively add grain to an image.

Vignette: This feature enables you to artistically darken or brighten the image's edges.

You can influence a region inside (or outside) of a circular or oval form using the radial filter.

HSL: Enables you to fine tweak the hue, saturation, or brightness of a particular color.(For instance, using HSL, you could make all of the reds in a picture appear more orange,

saturated, and bright.)
