On your wedding day, you will face a series of challenges that are beyond your control. From lighting issues to tight deadlines, these difficulties can create editing nightmares. This helpful video will show you how to fix five common problems in Lightroom.
Coming to you from Katelyn James, this informative video highlights the top five editorial challenges you may encounter when filming a wedding. Each challenge is illustrated with real-life examples and practical solutions. A common problem is dealing with unplanned elements, such as orange bridesmaid dresses or distracting ceilings. James shares how to fix these problems in Lightroom, emphasizing the importance of warming up images and using linear gradients for color management.
Another important point James discusses is the impact of mixed lighting, such as combining flash with natural or tungsten lighting. This can create color imbalances that are difficult to correct. James explains how to use selective adjustments in Lightroom to balance skin tones and reduce unwanted color casts.
In addition to these techniques, James also covers how to manage scenes with uneven lighting and shadows. She demonstrates how to brighten and adjust specific parts of an image without losing detail. This is especially useful for photos taken in challenging environments, like dark reception halls or areas with reflective surfaces. Check out the video above for James’ full list.
