Some Basic Editing Tips for Photography Enthusiasts

It is officially the wedding season, and you know what that means! Plenty of wedding shoots and unique photographs. Many photographers dread the fact that they will have to edit hundreds of photos. Let’s face it; editing is the most crucial aspect of photography.


Carefully Crop the Image

It is no surprise that most weddings try to hint at a natural scene with a scenic, natural background. It gives you an option to stick to a wide lens while you click the beautiful couple. However, cropping comes with its benefits. It allows photographers to focus on specific aspects or actions of the photograph. For example, you can focus on the couple at the altar right before their vows, and you can also crop an image to focus on the wedding décor, like the flower bunches with the wedding rings.




Work on the Resolution

Resolution isn’t an area that many photographers give much importance to. Well, then that is something that quickly needs to change. Amateurs always feel like taking the resolution up a notch doesn’t make much of a difference in a photo as direct editing does; however, it enhances the image, making it easier to make the final edits.




Change the Brightness

If you want to elevate the image further, make sure you adjust the brightness because it enhances several aspects of a photograph. First, it will have a significant impact on the visibility and colors of the image. Second, you can edit the shadows when you adjust the brightness to something that appears more appealing.




The blurriness Needs to Go

here are hundreds of photographs that a photographer clicks at a wedding. It is not out of the box that some of these images are out of focus. Sometimes the blur works in photos, but other times, it just dampens the image and deteriorates the quality. Make sure you have a decent understanding of a sharpening tool to make these fixes.




Take a Closer Look at the Defects

Your cameras aren’t some magical devices that will click perfect images now and then. There are defects in every photograph; there are very few perfect ones. An image nose, blurriness, lighting imbalance, and so much more can be wrong with a picture. Make sure you recognize all these flaws and edit the image effectively by enhancing tools and controlling the blemishes.




Bottom Line

Make sure to practice these basic editing tips before you dive into more challenging editing techniques. Once you master these, everything else will be on your fingertips.
