Introduction to photo editing: try it yourself

1. One-Click Fix

Use “Auto” in Lightroom; see if it improves photo.

2. Crop for Impact

Remove distractions; tighten composition.

3. Exposure Slider

Fix too dark/too bright; recover details.

4. Vibrance vs. Saturation

If your editor has both vibrance and saturation, move each control separately and compare the effect. Their behaviour varies by software, so judge the photograph rather than assuming one control is automatically safer for skin tones.

5. Edit & Revert

Always compare to original; avoid over-processing.
