In this video Sarah takes a raw camera image and turns it into a polished piece of art using Lightroom and Photoshop.She starts by adjusting the white balance to cool down the image's temperature using the dropper tool and enhances details in the outfit and background by modifying shadows, clarity, and saturation. The then moves to Photoshop to remove unwanted shadows and other elements using Generative Fill, showing off the new updates to the PRW 1.4, and fixing garment issues to make the dress look more appealing. Then she retouches the skin, using frequency separation for smoothing and texturizing skin, then dodge and burn for contouring and depth. Additional steps involve applying makeup digitally, adjusting the subject's proportions through liquify, and enhancing the photo's atmosphere by applying backgrounds, textures, and lighting effects.
