There is such a thing as editing your photos too much. For example, if you apply too much contrast, it can result in a lot of shadows looking unrealistically dark and deep. If you’re editing your photos with ON1 Photo RAW, you can use the J key to show how much dark black is in your photo, which enables you to adjust contrast accordingly. Another potential pitfall is saturating your picture with too much bright color. You can use ON1’s Dynamic Contrast Filter to avoid the mistake of applying too much detail.
Key Takeaways:
- Editing is a key to any photographer, but knowing how to prevent over editing can be just as important.
- Failing to adjust the contrast appropriately, removing essential tones, and adding too much detail can quickly make your photograph less realistic.
- Inappropriately over-saturating or overexposing are additional ways that important color elements can be sapped from your photo.
“A halo edge around higher contrasted areas is a good indicator that you’ve applied too much detail.”
