Computers and mobile phones have become practical tools for graphic editing, video editing and bridal photo edit (edit foto pengantin, which is the term in Indonesia) today. You do not need extensive knowledge to achieve good results: anyone can edit or retouch an image without studying a degree.

These guidelines will make it easier for you.

Edit as Little as Possible

Even if you use an outstanding program, we are not going to work miracles. The more we edit a photo, the easier it will be to screw up at some point. Set realistic goals and remember that sometimes less is more 

Use Professional Editing Software

As we know they are many, and it is not easy to make a decision, but if you choose a poor-quality program, with minimal functions, even with the knowledge you have on editing, they will not help you.

Edit Quality Photos 

If we start with a photograph with inferior quality, we cannot expect much when we edit it, even if we use the best professional program. For example, if the resolution is low, although there are tools to increase it, the only thing the program will do is invent pixels, achieving a very unnatural result.

 Basic Settings 

Brightness and contrast: The most common mistakes we make with photographs are related to the use of inadequate brightness or contrast, don’t you believe it? Try to edit any photo by changing these criteria; you will see how it improves.

Rotation: Another very characteristic error is to rotate the mobile camera when we should not. The solution is to turn it. However, sometimes it is not easy to rotate through full angles (90, 180, 270º), so we will have to use more precise tools.

Color Corrector: A more complex option to use; Depending on the software, we will have the possibility of brightness, shadows, half-shadows, adjust levels, gamma, etc.

Correction of small imperfections: For example, they may be small pimples or a stain manifested itself. Remember that you do not have to correct each person’s identifying signs (such as a mole).
