Demo Video: Editing Cityscape Photo

Editing Portrait Photo

For the final editing lesson, I selected an outdoor portrait of two people. You will notice that both faces of the couple are underexposed, the skin color tone is shifted towards red and the skin is a bit oversaturated. We can address all of these issues by using the Lightroom Rapid Editing.

Below is the final version of the same image after I used the Lightroom Rapid Editing. I outlined the process in detail in Lesson #4.

All in total, it took me 3 steps (clicks).

Use the exact editing steps to achieve the final look:

• In Style preset
• 08 Open Shadows ++
• 33 Vignetting +++

Here is the Lightroom Preset Editing Formula for this shot where each number inside the brackets represents a specific ADJUSTMENT from the TOOLKIT collection: Style (08, 33).

For the Snapshot name, use the Lightroom Editing Formula (please refer to Lesson #4).

Exercise for this Lesson

Using Lightroom Rapid Editing create 2 more editing versions of the same photo on your own.

I prepare for you 2 new formulas to follow. Please complete the editing steps of the following Editing Formulas.

When you are done, save each version as a new Snapshot.

And this is the final editing versions for your reference:
