Hey photographers, let's talk about this... [Home]( TODAY'S TIP SPONSORED BY: [Download The Complete Lightroom Presets Bundle - 1,450+ Premium Presets]( The 3 Goals of Fundamental Editing in Photography Post-processing is a very in-depth subject. However, there are certain basic edits – or Fundamental edits – that you can include in your post-processing workflow to really improve upon the original photograph. Fundamental editing includes edits that aren’t going to fundamentally change the concept of the original photograph. It’s about the steps required to take your original digital file, as it came out of the camera, and turn it into the best “photographic” image file that it can be.

Download Here →]( Specifically, Fundamental editing helps you accomplish the following 3 goals: - Fundamental edits should take your original concept, as designed in-camera, and bring them to life within the digital realm. You see, digital files do not record the world as our eyes see it. So, Fundamental editing restores depth, color, saturation, contrast etc. to something closer to our original vision. - Fundamental edits should make your file as “printable” as possible. If you were to go to a photo printer and have a print made from your original file, as it emerged from the camera, chances are the print would not look very good. The Fundamental edits whip your file into shape so that you get the best possible photographic print. - Fundamental edits should be used to fine-tune your composition.
