Hi everyone welcome back to my channel if never been here before welcome my name
is Christine so I got a new lens and I don't know if you guys can tell but I'm
filming in my room and back here it makes everything look so blurred out and
really really nice so I'll link all of my camera info and stuff like that down
below in the description box if you're interested. Today I'm gonna show
you guys how I edit my Instagram photos and this has been highly requested I'm
also gonna show you guys my favorite apps that I like to use and stuff like
that so if you guys are interested in seeing how I edit my videos first make
sure you hit the subscribe button if you haven't already and the little
notification bell and let's go ahead and get to the video I just realized I
wasn't screening my phone here okay so I'm back and we are reef filming the
third time that I've had to refilm this so hopefully this one works out here we
have this picture and it is a little bit dark so we're gonna kind of lighten it
up a little bit if I feel like a photo needs to be face tuned I'll go into face
tune first I have all my camera apps in here and I have face tune one and two
but number two is actually my favorite because it just gives you a little bit
more control so I prefer having face tune too so since I feel like this photo
doesn't really need any face to I'm just gonna go straight into my apps and first
thing I always do is go into Lightroom and here there's a little photo button
so I'm gonna go ahead and upload that photo since I use Lightroom so much I
have created my own preset so I have all my presets in here so for this one I
might like the light bright portrait and these are all presets that I made myself
and so I can teach you guys how to make it it's really easy but I'm gonna show
you guys how I do it from scratch and one quick trick especially if you don't
want to start from nowhere actually just go ahead and hit the auto button and
then from here I will kind of tweak it so I think the blacks are a little bit
washed out so I'm gonna go down to the blacks in dark
a little bit 13 and then the shadows are a little bit too washed out so I'm gonna
bring it down to 225 I like the whites to be super bright so
I'm gonna leave it at around 60 perfect and then if you hold your finger or the
photo too you can kind of see like a good before and after you're gonna kind
of play with the highlights I almost always bring down the highlights in my
photos I just like the color that it gives it so I'm gonna bring it down to
about 27 contrast you gotta like it where it is when we would at 16 and then
exposure I like my photos to be a little bit bright but I don't want to wash it
out either so I'm actually gonna take it to around 20 okay so that looks good
we're gonna go over to color and sometimes if a color is too warm or cool
I'll kind of fix it in here but I think it's fine I'm gonna leave it there and
sometimes I like to bring some more purple into my image like in this case
it is a little bit green but I'm actually gonna leave it because I'm
gonna take it through another app later on that kind of plays with the colors
vibrance is at 11 so actually like that leave it there I'm actually look a
little orange so I might bring it down let's bring it down to one yes there's
enough next button and I really like this one especially if your photo is
kind of like washed out you can play with a D haze button and it helps to
bring a lot of color into your photos let's say in this case I'll do point
I'll add 8 to it and that kind of just brings a little bit more definition and
color into the photo clarity sometimes I don't really like it because it makes
your skin look kind of unreal but I actually really like it in this case
would do less - okay so that looks good to me they have like two or three other
photos that I wanted to edit the same way reason why I love Lightroom is you
can easily apply the same edit to multiple photos so you could hit the
three dots up here and hit copy settings and then these are all the settings that
we change so we go ahead and hit okay so it copies all those settings in the way
that you apply it I'll just give you as an example so this is a photo that I
previously edited so if I wanted to paste the settings onto the same photo I
would just hit paste settings and he would go ahead and change the photo
and apply that same edits but I'm just gonna leave it at that also if you guys
wanted to create your own preset and say you you took a lot of the same photos
and you don't want to go through a copy and paste copy paste all the same photos
all the time you can create presets it's easy for me to make presets and then
just apply them to my photos and then tweak it from there instead of hitting
Auto every single time so if I wanted to create my own preset I would hit the
three dots up here and then there's a create preset button and I would just
hit create preset you'd name it something and then you'd hit that check
mark oh that's funny it corrected too huh and then it would appear in your
preset button so that's a really easy way if you guys want to apply the same
filter to all of your photos especially if you take a lot of like product shots
or outfit bags or the same type of photos it just is a really nice shortcut
to do I like the way that that looks I'm gonna go ahead and hit the square button
save camera roll and always a maximum available size so that way we have a
really high quality image so I'm gonna hit save awesome and then the next app I
go into is this app called rni films and I love this app so I'm gonna go ahead
and upload that image that we just edited okay and then my favorite filter
is the Kodachrome 50s but as you get to play around with it more you kind of
develop like a style and technique and you kind of find like favorites that you
like to use a lot of the time so they have lots of really cool like vintage
film looking filters on here there's just a lot of filters on here so you can
kind of play around with it but this is one of my favorite apps for editing so
I'm gonna go into my Kodachrome fifties I just love the way that this looks and
I have done this too a lot of my photos so it kind of just ties a lot of my
photos in together you can adjust the string so I kind of like it since it is
an outfit pick I'm okay with it being a little bit higher but if it was like a
close-up of my face I wouldn't want the strength to be super high and then I
want my photos to be a little bit brighter so we're gonna make this one up
to 10 and then I'm gonna increase contrast we'll do 30 for that okay that
looks good and then clarity
we'll just do eight shadows and I don't do the same edits every single time it
totally depends on the picture I always bring up the shadows in this app too
just because I like the way that it really evens out a lot of the colors in
this photo so you don't have too many dark areas of the picture if that makes
sense so I like to bring this one up just
because I feel like it looks so pretty and light and bright so I'll do plus 40
for that and you can see right here there's so much of a difference and it
just looks like it was a higher quality image to begin with and then over here
this highlights is the same thing it'll bring down the highlights of the photo
but I actually like the way that it is I'm actually gonna just tweak it a
little bit will do 97 yeah so that looks good to me and then if I wanted to
adjust the warmth you totally can hear so there's a pre worn and post worth
button I don't really know the difference but I kind of just play
around with both and see what looks best so like in this case I think the post
warmth looks a little bit better so I'm just gonna make it a little bit cooler
bring out some more of the Blues in here and that is starting to look really
really cool and then pre and post in you can add a green or purple tint to your
photos especially if your photo is a little bit greeny you can just add a
touch of purple but in this case I'm just gonna leave it because my filter
already is kind of purply so I don't want it to be too much if you wanted to
add like a dust effect this is one of the my favourite apps to use it too and
you can just use the dice and change up where the little dust pieces are so I'm
actually kind of over that phase I feel like too many people are doing it so I
don't like doing the dust of my photos anymore so I'm just gonna leave it like
that there's also a grain here if you guys wanted to add more grain to your
filters you could use you just adjust the strain usually if I do it I'll just
do around 20 or 30 and then you can adjust the size of the grains as well
which is nice so when I do it and I like to have the size of the grains to be
really small and then the strength to be around there so that's the green if you
wanted something if you wanted that kind of effect but I'm actually just gonna
leave it kind of clean I just have been more into the clean looking photos
lately so that's everything that I have edited for this I really like the way
that that looks hit the square save the camera okay and
then this is the original and then we have Lightroom and then our ni films and
then if we wanted to do a selfie let's say we'll edit this photo first thing I
will always do especially if it's a face picture I will go into face tune so I'm
gonna go into face tune to here we have an image that looks like this and I'm I
would be okay with how this looks but I just feel like I like to enhance the way
that photos look especially on my Instagram so I always waned the whites
of my eyes especially here it just hello especially in photos it just makes your
eyes pop so much more so I'm gonna go here with the white and tool and then in
the whites on my eyes I'm gonna go ahead and highlight those areas okay so that
is what that looks like and then you can hit this little square button to see
like a before and after and if you toggle between the whiten and the eraser
you can see what areas you have affected so I accidentally highlighted under my
eyes we don't want to do that okay so now we can see that's the area that we
retouch now we're gonna go over here and do this eye and we're gonna go ahead and
highlight that same area okay so that looks good to me and then I'm gonna go
ahead and bring it up to I don't want it to look unnatural so I'm just gonna
leave it at 80 so that looks good to me we're gonna go ahead and hit save here
my teeth look a little bit gray so I'm gonna go in with that white tool again
and we're just gonna highlight my teeth
and I don't want to do anything crazy because I don't want it to look
unnatural I just want to correct so we'll bring it to about 36 that looks
good to me and then here I have a couple blemishes that you can see and if you
don't really care about it you can totally leave it and sometimes I just
like to leave the texture of my skin I don't really like promoting that your
face needs to look perfect and flawless and airbrushed all the time I just think
there's things that you're insecure about it go ahead and fix it if you want
to airbrush your interface go ahead and fix it like just let people live their
lives and do whatever they want to do but this is just how I edit my photos so
you don't want to we're do it but this is just like spots
that I want to correct on my face and this is just something that I like to do
so nothing crazy we're just gonna go and go ahead and correct those areas okay so
that looks good to me and then I don't want it to be super super strong I'm
just gonna do about sixty-five percent one thing that I also like to do
especially for these close-up pictures kind of have like a gray shadow around
my mustache area dark hair probs so I'll go in with that
same smooth tool and just go over like my mustache and then I'll bring it down
to about 30 and that just kind of helps to even that area out and doesn't make
it look so dark in that area I like my eyes to stand out so I'm gonna go in
with this detail tool and we're just gonna brush over my eyelashes and some
of that eye shadow we're gonna go over this highlight a little bit let's do my
earrings and then necklaces and then the shirt will do my rings as well okay and
then that looks good to me I don't want it to look too crazy so I'm just gonna
leave it at 50 so that is the point for and after and say I didn't like the
shape of my hair especially if you have your hair down and you have like weird
lumps you can fix that with a reshape tool so I would go ahead and use the
refine tool to reshape tool does more like it just moves more areas of the
photo so I don't want to do that so I'm just gonna use the refine tool and kind
of make my hair look a little bit more voluminous and then one trick that I
also found that's really nice about face tuned too is you can you can use the
restore tool and that allows you to bring in whatever you brought out so I'm
gonna go ahead and bring in my ear area just like any areas of my face it might
have accidentally be affected I don't want it to be like stretched out really
weird I just want only my hair to look at it is so there you can see my hair
looks a little bit more voluminous that you can see is the before and after I
feel like the eyes just makes such a big difference to brighten that I area of so
I'm gonna go ahead and save to camera roll we're gonna go straight back into
Lightroom and then over here I'm actually just
gonna apply a preset so I'll show you guys how to do it if you had a preset
already set for it play around with what I have so I think I like this one the
most so I'm gonna go ahead and apply that preset and then I'm gonna go into
and kind of retouch anything else that I feel like needs retouching so I'm gonna
brighten it up a little bit and let's bring it to about 0.25 contrast will do
to make it a seven and then that red is kind of bright so I'm gonna go ahead and
bring the vibrance down and then the saturation also really affects the color
so I'm just gonna leave it at actually you knew three yeah so that looks good
to me I'm happy with that but if you guys don't want your colors to be as
bright you can just totally fix that here and then see it colors do then it
is a little bit greeny so I added a little bit of purple to it and then I'm
happy with the way that that looks I'm gonna go ahead and hit that checkmark
save the camera rule and then we're gonna go back into our ni films and say
I had another photo from the set instead of going through and applying every
single edit that we did in our and I film to that picture this app has a cool
new feature where if you upload another picture this is the picture we just
uploaded earlier so if we upload that you can use last edits so if you have
multiple pictures from a set you can just apply the same edits to those
pictures which is super super nice but since this photo is totally different
than the last picture this one requires different editing so I'm gonna go ahead
and hit back discard okay and we're gonna start from
scratch for this one see I just love the effect that it does it automatically
dulls down that color so it's not too crazy makes my skin look a little bit
more like contoured so we're just gonna do
32 for that will bring up the brightness actually I'm fine with that we're gonna
increase the contrast a little bit and you just kind of play around and see
so I actually like the way that everything else looks I might brighten
it up a little bit and then increase the contrast a little bit yeah so that looks
much better and I kind of want a more filmy effect
to this I'm actually gonna add a little bit of a grain so I'm gonna do let's do
30 36 for this and then we'll make the grain and then we'll make the grain size
about 10 okay so that looks cool to me I like that and then if you wanted to add
a dust to you can do that that looks kind of cool so I'll kind of tone it
down I don't want it to be too intense and then go ahead and save to camera
roll okay so now you have the three images this is after facetune lightroom
and then aren't i films love the way that this looks and one last thing I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna put a little film border around it and my favorite apps
for that is unfold I love that and in here I'll show you guys how it works in
here there's all these different frames that you can use so you can kind of just
play around with it see which one's you guys are looking for and see which ones
you like but I actually purchase ff1 and this is the one that has all those film
borders and stuff like that this is what a lot of people on Instagram use and so
we have like the Polaroids there's this one that's really cute too since it's
just one photo I'm just gonna go ahead and use this filter so you just tap on
the center and then we'll upload that that picture that we uploaded earlier
and then we'll go ahead and save save just that page there we have the final
image and then also if you guys wanted to see other apps as well I really like
story Lex I just found this one recently and this one has a lot of those really
cool like film filters and stuff like that too so I've used this one a lot as
well so you can kind of just play around with that and see what you like
that's how I edit my photos anyways I hope you guys found this helpful make
