Sometimes I slightly warm an image by moving the Temp slightly to the right for a warmer look. If you want to add contrast, use the White and black sliders, this gives the images punch. Slide the vignette slider in the Lens Correction panel to even out the sky. Notice that the blue sky is lighter around the edges now. Under Lens Correction, Turn on Profile correction and Remove Chromatic Aberration. Sometimes these extreme adjustments can bring out Chromatic Aberration (The red and Cyan fringing around the edges) Here is the starting image, do the dark tones and blown out sky look familiar?Ī lot can be done by moving the highlight and shadow sliders to recover the details in the darks and light areas.Ĭhoose Luminance and darken the blues to make the skies colorful. You can use Lightroom or Camera Raw in the same way, just use the same settings. In this tutorial I am using Lightroom Classic. Dialing in the perfect amount of surface detail and sharpening.

So, for those other photos, here is a tutorial to get the most out of them.
