Basic Edit in Lightroom

by - April 03, 2019


I've used so many apps to edit my photos: VCSO, Facetune, Instagram, now Lightroom. I wasn't content of the theme I wanted on my Instafeed until I fiddled around with Lightroom. I'm still a beginner but I hope I can still help you! I taught myself how to upload presets and create presets. There are numerous presets online that are free. But no matter what, you will have to adjust the settings. So, I'm going to share with you how to edit your photo in Lightroom, mind you this is a VERY BASIC edit.

Start by uploading a photo in Lightroom and adjust according to what I have done or what suits you.

This is the original picture
Light Settings
Scroll down to reduce blacks

Colour Settings

Effects Settings

Detail Settings

Scroll down Detail Settings

I went back to Light Settings to make it more brighter
Cropped the Image



Then finish!
If you want to save your settings then you can create a Preset so you don't have to go back to the beginning to adjust the settings.
Click the three dots on the top right corner, name your preset, then !

I hope this has helped you get to know a little bit of Lightroom. I will create another post about downloading presets, setting a mood in the photo, a different type of photo edit: scenery. 

Talk to you soon,
