I’m often asked about my editing process by clients and, in an attempt to explain it here, I’ve got some visual aids for you.<\/p>\n

I’m going to show you a few examples of each image below.\u00c2\u00a0 The first in each example is what photographers call SOOC, or straight out of camera.<\/p>\n

This is what the picture looks like the moment it goes onto my memory card and the first thing I see on my computer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second shot is after what happens to every<\/em> picture that gets proofed.\u00c2\u00a0 I import it into Adobe Lightroom and contrast\/color correct each picture.\u00c2\u00a0 All of the images that go on my proofing site or get put on a disc have been edited in Lightroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The third shot is what happens to my favorites, the client’s select favorites, and anything that gets blogged or printed.\u00c2\u00a0 These are what I called “detailed edits.”\u00c2\u00a0 A limited number of these also go onto a disc.\u00c2\u00a0 These pictures have all gone through Adobe Photoshop after I export them from Lightroom.\u00c2\u00a0 I often get rid of blemishes (though there were none to be seen in this shot!), smooth skin, selectively increase contrast in certain areas, and sharpen the picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First, SOOC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, after it’s gone through Lightroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last, after it’s been photoshopped.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last example, SOOC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I cropped this one in Lightroom just a touch, but kept the same dimensions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sometimes, there’s not much of a difference between the Lightroom and the Photoshop version.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Occasionally, I’ll edit a picture in color and also want to do a monochromatic one (black and white, sepia, etc).\u00c2\u00a0 This was also done in photoshop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So there you have it.\u00c2\u00a0 I hope that clarifies things a bit.\u00c2\u00a0 If anyone’s interested in step-by-step Lightroom or Photoshop editing leave a comment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
