Great stuff! I've been using my Photos app on my Mac for most of these, but the colour correction with the blues is life changing! I'm often frustrated by how my iPhone refuses to capture some greens and blues correctly so this might do the trick. Finally, I'll use Affinity Photo to its full 😀 Also, a good tip for the distracted people out there like me: don't forget to set your screen to full brightness before doing photo editing so you're not blowing up those whites 😅 I may or may have not done that several times in the past...
Great! I am so happy you found it useful! Actually using True tone and Auto-Brightness on your smartphone and Mac is the best option as it automatically adjust the brightness and display color based on your ambient light. If you shoot the brightness all the way up you may actually underexpose your product, and that won't be great either! If you are using a PC or extra monitor without those settings i recommend keeping it between 1/2 and 3/4 brightness to avoid over compensating in either direction!
@@ByKristinaNicole thanks for the tip! I don't have auto-brightness because I'm very sensitive to light and tend to keep things on the darker side... I'll start keeping it at your recommended settings when editing photos!
I get that! Have you tried it, typically that is the benefit of auto-brightness is it makes the screen truer based on ambient light. So if you are in a really dark room your screen will be altered to be less bright so that your eyes can easily adjust. Do what works for you, but if you haven't tried I suggest testing it out! Let me know if you have questions!@@ellieisbusy
@@ByKristinaNicole I did have that feature turned on, but my spicy brain (aka very likely neurodiverse) wasn't having any of it so I switched it off 😅 I'm now used to going to my light settings automatically before a photo edit, so I'll definitely remember your fab advice on keeping it ½ to ¾ bright! Thanks so much.
Super helpful video!
thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!
I can’t wait to try these editing instructions!
These are the minimal edits every maker should be using! I hope you loved the video!
