So you’ve edited your photo to perfection, minutely tweaking each slider to get the ideal result – but what do you do with your edit now?
Blindly exporting your photo without ensuring you have the right settings is almost like cooking a gourmet meal and then slathering it with ketchup. Your hours of hard work will be disguised through incorrect settings and file formats.
While learning how to properly export your photos might not be the most scintillating technique to master, you’ll thank yourself for it in the long run. It doesn’t matter if you want to upload your picture to Instagram, or you want to create a high quality print fit for the wall, the settings you choose are vitally important.
From the link below you can download the Engagement.jpg photo or use your own shots to follow this tutorial – and don’t forget to watch the accompanying video for more tips and tricks.
