If the image has a lot of natural contrast going into Photoshop my techniques will ruin the image and give it way too much contrast. I flatten the image out because when I open it into Photoshop, all of the toning and techniques I use will give it the right amount of contrast I need. I want the image to be really flat when going into Photoshop. This flattens out the image quite a bit ( the image will look pretty boring and ugly). I want my highlights to be a little dull and shadows to be very flat and almost in the same tonal range as my midtones. I then set the shadows slider between +30 to +80. I will then set the highlights slider between -30 to -80. The first thing I do when I open my images in Camera Raw is adjust color temperature or exposure if I need to. It is in Camera Raw where I set up my image to be edited in Photoshop. You can't build a house without a solid foundation well you can't edit a photo without one either. This is not a beginners guide to Photoshop. There are thousands of post processing methods this is just what I have developed and what has worked for me. Over the last few years, through experimentation and taking bits and pieces of what other photographers have shown me, I built a workflow that I use for my post processing. This list is an overview of how I edit my photos. Whether it's used subtlety, or for major composites, it's definitely an important skill to know. Post processing plays a big role in today's photographic society.
The more I observed the photographers I looked up to, the more I noticed the images they took were not straight from the camera.
But I see Photoshop as a tool, just as the darkroom was a tool to manipulate images. I have put together this list of 10 techniques that helps me get the most out of my images.Īs my photographic skills grew so did my curiosity for better images. It can be argued back and forth if this is right or wrong and whether Photoshop is ruining photography. In the digital age you as a photographer are expected to be familiar and knowledgeable with Photoshop.
