How to Enhance Your Photos With Photo Editing

If you are new to Photo editing, you might be confused about what to do. But don’t worry, the best way to start is to think about the four main factors of a good photo: composition, light, colors and clarity.

Composition:

To get a picture with a strong composition, try to choose your subject in such a way that it is a natural part of the scene. For example, avoid putting the subject in a dark corner, or make sure that there are no unnecessary elements such as a crowd of people, a background, or an unsightly object.

Exposure:

Getting the exposure right is another important element of photography, as it ensures that your photos have the correct amount of brightness and contrast. You can boost the brightness to add more contrast or drop it to make the image appear more soft and muted, depending on what effect you want.

Colors:

You can also edit the colors in your pictures to create more dramatic effects, such as boosting bright or dark areas in the picture by increasing the contrast. This can help the photo to stand out from other images in your collection and give it a more unique look.

White balance:

White balance, or the color balance of a photograph, is an essential aspect of photo editing. Adjusting it can correct a blue tinge or other colors that seem too harsh or unnatural for the shot you took.

The best way to do this is to open your photo in an editing program and check its white balance before you make any adjustments. Most editing programs offer multiple preset settings that will better calibrate your photos for the lighting conditions you were shooting in, and some even have a temperature or tint slider to fine-tune the overall color tone of your photo.

Sharpening:

The next step in enhancing your pictures is to use the sharpening tools available in most editing programs. This can give your photos a crisper and more detailed look, but it’s important to remember that too much sharpening can reduce the quality of your photo.

Text and Graphics:

To add text or simple graphics to your photographs, you can use a variety of apps and websites. These include Canva, which is a freemium graphic design program that allows users to adjust various elements of a photo with a drag-and-drop editor. Its easy-to-use interface categorizes searchable elements to make it easier to find what you need, and it also offers a range of fonts and templates that can be easily added to your images.

Glitchr:

If you’re looking for something a little more fun, the Glitchr app lets you apply retro video effects to your photos. It has a simple interface and is available for both iPhone and iPad.

In addition to filters, the app has a range of other options such as adding effects like VHS and 3D to your images. It also has a variety of templates for social media posts and banners.
