EDIT LIKE A PRO
Master these methods to fine-tune your images with pinpoint precision
1 Non-destructive editing
Tools like Adjustment Layers and Layer Masks allow you to make edits independently of one another, so you can always retrace your steps and undo decisions later on.
2 Make local adjustments
Local adjustment tools like Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom’s Radial Filter and Graduated Filter can be used to apply selective edits by targeting a specific portion of an image.
3 Synchronise your edits
To save time in Lightroom when you edit a group of shots from the same shoot, edit one image, then synchronise the edits across to the other pictures.
4 Use multiple programs
Exploit your software’s strengths. For example: batch-edit in Lightroom, focus-stack in Helicon Focus and do advanced edits and creative layer work in Photoshop.
5 Calibrate your monitor
Use a calibration device like a Datacolor Spyder to ensure your monitor is displaying a true colour reading, so you can apply accurate edits.
Export for success

6 Go 300dpi for perfect prints
If you’re exporting high-resolution photographs for printing, you save your images at 300ppi (for printing at 300dpi). This ensures that images are of suitable quality, regardless of size.
7 Save low- and high-res versions
