While every new photographer has to master working with a camera, that is only half of making a compelling image, as it takes good editing skills to finish things off. If you are new to editing your photos, this helpful video tutorial will show you a range of techniques and methods for post-processing a portrait using Lightroom.
Coming to you from Sawyer Hartman, this great video tutorial will show you some methods for editing a portrait in Lightroom, including things like using the Tone Curve, HSL section, and more. Most newer photographers think of Photoshop as the place for serious editing, and while it is true that you can do more advanced things there, you will be surprised by just how much you can accomplish in Lightroom, plus it is a bit friendlier to beginners. An important point to remember is that when it comes to editing, less is often more. One thing that can help you develop your eye is to step away from your computer for a few minutes when you are done with an edit, then return to evaluate things one more time before you export. This can help you to break any tunnel vision you might have developed during the process. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Hartman.
