My video guide – How I edit my blog photos

Hey there!

So here’s the video guide I told you about in the previous post. It’s a guide showing you how I usually edit the photos that I upload on my blog. I usually edit my photos within a minuit or so in a really easy way using ”Curves” and ”Selective color”. In the video I’ll show you exactly how. (Btw, excuse my english. Im swedish, and listening to myself in hindsight I noticed that its sounds very ”Swenglish” at times ^^.)

Here below I’ve also added a step by step guide, since its a bit hard to see the details of what I do in the video.

The Guide step by step:

1. Once you have a photo you want to edit, make sure you have the ”Layers”-window open and click on the button at the bottom of the layer window called ”add fill or adjustment layer” (The one I’ve highlighted in blue below).

2.When you click it you get a list of adjustment settings, start of by choosing ”Curves”. With Curves you’re able to change the lighting and contrast in you picture by clicking on the diagonal line and draging the dots. (You can see my usual curve setting below).

3. Once you’re happy with your curve settings you can go back to the ”create new fill or adjustment”-buttom at the bottom of the layer window, and this time choose ”Selective color”. I usually just play white the ”whites”, ”neutrals” and ”blacks”. I like making my whites a little yellow toned and my neutrals and black a little blue/red toned.

And thats pretty much it!
