Photo Edition with Lightroom: Create your style

Photography in Lightroom: Create Your Own Color Style

“You've reached the end of the course. Thank you so much for joining me on this adventure. It's been a pleasure sharing the secrets of the photography world with you. During the course, I showed you my natural style editing process. However, you could take a very different route; you already have a clear understanding of each of the tools; the decision of what to do with them is entirely yours. So, I invite you to make the course project completely yours! I'm sharing an example of how I'd like to see your project process: The photos Put together a group of RAW photos with different categories. For example, a landscape photo, a portrait photo, an animal photo, a night photo, and a sunset. The more varied the group, the better. This will help you have as many possible situations as possible to use as a basis for creating a color style that works for any situation.

Basic Settings Edit the basic settings for your photos, always maintaining the same logic between them. If, for example, you move the Black bar to the left, respect that same direction (not necessarily the exact number) for the rest of your photos. Edit Experiment with the tone curve (the same for all photos). And edit the color curves (RGB) if you want to start working with shadows, highlights, and midtones. You can do this later with Color Grading. Color Work the color panel by Hue, Saturation, and Luminance for specific colors. Decide which colors to prioritize and why. These are important details for developing your style. Maintain the same logic for all photos and keep in mind key rules of color theory. Observe your results Finally, see how they look together and if they maintain visual unity, export them to complete your final project. Before After Before After Before After As you work on your projects, don't forget to experiment until you find a style that fully reflects your desires. Enjoy the process! Don't forget to upload your progress to the forum. This way, I can see what you've done and we can build a community. I invite you to share feedback with your peers. Also, if you know any tricks you'd like to share with us, feel free to do so here. I'll be eagerly awaiting to see what you've done and will give you feedback as soon as possible. See you soon! ”

“Thank you so much for taking the course and especially for making it this far. I hope the content has been useful to you. that you enjoyed learning a lot. and that my teaching style was to your liking. I'm going to give you some advice so that you can apply it in this and your future projects. Remember that you have the freedom to exaggerate as much as you want in terms of color editing if you find suits your style. But always take care of skin tones. This is an unconscious reference we often use. For instance. when a photo shows skin that is overly green red without a reason. it leaves a n...”
