This week’s before and after is one of my favorites. It’s the brides bouquet from a wedding I shot in May of 2009. I love the yellow in this photo and the gritty texture of the walls where the bride got ready. Here’s a Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop adjustments I made to take this photo from good to great.
Here’s the SOOC camera shot. A little warm from the tungsten lights.
I really didn’t do anything in Photoshop CS4 on this one. Everything was non-destructively edited in Adobe Lightroom. I added just a bit of exposure and blacks. Then to balance the warmness of the photo I set the white balance to auto and then adjusted it up a tiny bit to the warm side.
Next, I added some fill light to fill in the shadows a bit and added a medium to strong vignette. I also added a small amount of blacks as well.
I then exported the image from Lightroom and opened it in Photoshop and applied the Kubota Magic Sharp at 50%. That’s it! VIOLA!!
