So many times we’ve seen that people have been involved in capturing an important moment in their lives i.e. a graduation, convocation, a marriage proposal accepted, a dream job, or simply a dream holiday that they wanted to take. All of these things are memories that define what life is supposed to be like.

Flatten it out

When it comes to editing photos, there are some basic rules and foundations that can help you get the best out of whatever you’re trying to achieve. One of these basics is flattening out the image in raw. What you’ll need to do is retouch the photo and adjust the color temperature or exposure of it and bring its highlights slider to somewhere between -30 to -80.

While it may not seem much to you, it will drastically impact the ultimate quality of your pictures. Another reason to flatten it out is that once you’ve done that, it’ll be easy to change the contrast of the picture. It also makes it easier to judge whether the picture you’re editing has too much contrast or not.
