I take my photos on my iPhone
and edit using the app Polarr.
So I'm going to start out by opening the photo
And the first thing I do
is apply the filter I use to keep my theme consistent.
And that filter is A4 pearl.
And now I'm going to make a couple of adjustments
I don't have a specific formula for how I do this
It's all kind of based on my own intuition
of how it should look
but the main focus
is to make the entire photo look brighter,
increase the contrast so that the words can be more easily read,
and to get rid of shadows in weird spots or around the edges
So I've increased the contrast
and added a gradient mask and a radial mask
And now this picture is complete
so I am going to save it
using all of the default settings
and I don't use a watermark
but I've added metadata
so that if the picture is downloaded, it'll be tagged with my name.
And now the photo is saved and ready to post.
Now I'm going to show you my process for two more pictures.
I'm not going to talk through it with much detail
because the process is very similar
but I'll have all the adjustments I made on the left.
Now that I've finished this one,
I'm going to move on to the third and final picture I'm going to be showing today.
One edit I didn't mention before is horizontal or vertical distortion.
Since this was a flatlay, it needs to look rectangular
but I messed up the angle while taking the picture
so I'm just adjusting it here.
I hope you guys found this interesting or helpful for your own pictures
You can look at my pictures on my Instagram and Tumblr, which will be linked in the description.
I upload new videos every Monday and Friday,
and I hope to see you in the next one!
