What's the most tiring question you get?
Mine will be 'what filter you use' or 'what app do you use'. They are tiring cause I have talked
about the apps I use like 100 times. But I get it, I do. when you join a book community or photo
community, you see so much and get overwhelmed and excited and you just ask questions( trust me I
did that too, later I realized some of them were not ok). And you want to create too and you see no
harm in asking questions. But, most creators put a lot of things on their stories and highlights.
Check those. Cause if you are genuinely interested you will do that anyway.
And for my edits, I use lightroom and picsart. Lightroom is one of the best apps there is for photo
editing(phone and PC both). You know, photography is like the ocean. If you can find a seashore you
can chill with a coconut. And my seashore is adobe lightroom.
Why?
I mean come on, you can edit like a professional, so many options and it's pretty cool. You can
experiment as much as you want. The app is like your canvas and each feature is like your color.
Where?
You can download this free from the play store. There are some features locked though. DM me your
email to get the app with all features (it will expire soon though).
What features i useঃ
*Crop: to get the right photo size. rotate and flip.
*Profiles: here there are some filters. you can use them if they fit your photos. But maybe try to
make your own filter? Cause creating is fun, right?
Light: You can fix your photo exposure, contrast, highlights, shadow, white and black. The curve is a
tricky part though. I still struggle with this to find the right tone. But practice and experiment
will get you a hang of it.
*Color: i love the color part. It changes the whole photo vibe! And you will change the
temp(temperature), tint, vibrance, and saturation as your photo style. To fix your photo color
individually, you can go to 'Mix'.
And there is color grading, which i find pretty intimidating. I mean, even after two years i still
struggle with it, and trust it's hella tricky as it seems. Overdoing it can ruin your photo, but
experiment with it, eventually, you will find the right tone.
*Effects: you can enhance or decrease your photo 'texture' which gives you fine details or hide
details. The same goes for the 'clarity' which makes the subject and objects of your photo more
stand out. 'Dahaze' removes or add haze to your photo. Basically, it helps to expose underexpose
photos and vice versa. I always increase it to get the nice darky-moody vibe.
'Vignette' helps you darken or brighten around the edges. Also, you can add grain amount from here.
*Details: i rarely use this, cause my photo problems to get solved before i come to this feature.
*Presets: whatever features you used to edit your photo, you Don't need to repeat it next time. You
save that as a preset and use that to the next photo (or in any photo if it fits).
Go on the top right on your phone and tap the 3 dots and you will see create preset. Click there to
name your preset. Slide to the next photo, go to presets feature and on user presets you will get
your own filter.
Congratulations, you just created something for you and only you know how you did that❤️
