Best Practices
Make global adjustments (brightness, contrast) before applying creative filters
Use the intensity slider — subtle edits usually look more professional than extreme ones
Always check the edited image at 100% zoom for artifacts or banding
Crop to the subject for more impactful compositions — 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
Pro Tips for Better Results
Increase contrast slightly more than you think you need — screens display images flatter than intended
For warm, inviting photos, slightly increase temperature and saturation
For dramatic effects, increase contrast and decrease brightness slightly
Use the straighten tool to fix slightly tilted horizons — it makes a big difference
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Over-saturating images — colors should look natural, not neon
Applying multiple heavy filters — this creates a muddy, over-processed look
Not cropping enough — tighter crops are usually more impactful than wide ones
Forgetting to straighten tilted horizons — even a 2-degree tilt looks unprofessional
Editing the only copy of a photo — always keep the original safe
