Do you love taking pictures? It may be a picture of yourself, building, scenery, object, or a moment. However, to make your photos look beautiful, powerful, and shareworthy, you may need to edit them first.

 

If you are a novice, you may find it difficult to use editing tools. However, do not worry because there are basic tricks about how you can enhance your pictures.

 

1.Crop and Clean

Photo Editing - Crop and Clean

 

You need to check your photos and look for distracting parts. You can crop them to change the composition of the picture. However, when cropping, make sure that the picture will not look too small. You can resize the picture without losing its quality.

2. White Balance

Photo Editing - White Balance

 

In your camera, the white balance is the adjustment that reads the color temperature of the light you are capturing based on neutral white. If you find your picture has an overall displeasing color tone, you can fix it by adjusting the white balance. When adjusting the white balance, it must not alter the whiteness of white. The white should not look too warm like yellow or too cold like a strong blue color.

3. Contrast

Photo Editing - Contrast

 

Contrast is the adjustment of dark to light tones. If the contrast is too low, you will get a flat picture where no elements stand out. Meanwhile, when the contrast is too high, the image will appear dark. To prevent those extremes, you may choose the medium contrast. If you want to add more drama to your picture, you should adjust the contrast.

4. Exposure

Photo Editing - Exposure

 

Exposure is making your picture look either light or dark, depending on how you want it to appear. However, you must check the brightness when you first take the picture. When adjusting the exposure, see to it that blow-outs are not visible. These are huge white spots that appear when there are shiny or light colors in the picture.

5. Saturation

When your picture looks pale, adjusting the saturation will take care of it. With saturation, the colors of the picture will deepen, making them look vibrant and dramatic.

6. Sharpness

To achieve a crisper and cleaner look, you should adjust the sharpness of your picture. When adjusting the sharpness, you may start with 50 percent then you can adjust according to what you want. When you perfectly adjust the sharpness, the edges of your picture will stand out. Do not overdo it because you may lose the definition of the picture. Make sharpening your last editing part to achieve the best results.

 

CONCLUSION

 

There are many ways how you can edit your pictures to enhance them. There are many editing tools you can use. But before you go to an advance editing, learn the basics first. You may even add text to your pictures like a quote or caption. You may also opt to have the pictures in the collage form. This will give you multiple shots in one item.
