I used Lightroom to edit this photo of my cat Bleu. The first thing I did was decrease exposure, I then increased contrast and decreased the highlights. I made the photo more alive by increasing the vibrance to make it colorful, and I sharpened the photo to top it off.
In this photo to start off I went all out with increased highlights, contrast, black clipping, sharpening, edge masking, and sharpen detail. I also decreased the white clipping as well as the shadows and exposure.
In these photos I first started by increasing the contrast as well as the shadows and sharpness to increase details. I then decreased the saturation brightness and highlights which created a really cool empty space effect.
In this before and after I began with lowering the exposure as well as the contrast, then I increased the clarity and vibrance which made the photo more colorful. I also increased the dehaze amount and finished off with a heavy increase in sharpening to add detail and more saturation to make it even more colorful.
In this photo I started with increasing the clarity as well as the saturation, I them sharpened the photo to increase detail. I then decreased the exposure and made the photo warmer
