Crop to the subject for more impactful compositions โ€” remove distracting elements

Keep a copy of the original image in case you want to start over

For social media, export at the platform recommended dimensions after editing

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tips for Better Results

Increase contrast slightly more than you think you need โ€” screens display images flatter than intended

For warm, inviting photos, slightly increase temperature and saturation

For dramatic effects, increase contrast and decrease brightness slightly

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

Over-saturating images โ€” colors should look natural, not neon

Applying multiple heavy filters โ€” this creates a muddy, over-processed look
