Edit with me #26

Hey all!

I'm now heading home to Denmark after 6 weeks in Canada and Hawaii! It's been a great trip but I have to go home so I can attend my mom's wedding tomorrow. Whoops. I'll quickly share an edit with you guys I did the other day! I can tell you, it's pretty nuts ;-)

Simple guide:
I edited this picture by turning the exposure up a tiny bit just to make it a bit brighter. I turned the contrast up to 20 to make the nuts pop a little bit, and then I turned the highlights all the way down to -70 really bring out the details. After that, I brought the shadows and the whites up so the image again to increase the brightness in the details, and finally I have turned the black down a bit to create some contrast. After this, I increased the sharpness to around 80 and added a peach highlight saturated around 15 and a light blue shadowsaturated to around 12 just to create a bit more warmth and depth to the image (rule of thumb is that you should put opposite colours in the shadows and colours unless you really want to go for an extreme edit).

Here's it is:

After Before Next to each other Have a great day! Jo
