I think my monitor's calibration may be off. I shot these on a Nikon FM 100mm 1.8 with portra 160. The scans on my PC look a bit muted, but more vibrant on my phone. I did some mild edits in Lightroom (lighting, color, and -11 vignette) and now they seem a bit oversaturated. Were originals just fine on their own, for the touch-ups oversaturated, or should I be looking for something in between?

TIA first year doing photography and only using film atm.

Primeira postagem aqui no fórum. A foto foi registrada por um smartphone e a edição final foi feita no aplicativo Lightroom.

Estou me aventurando no caminho da fotografia e edição há alguns meses.

O que achou? Feedback abertos. 🤔📷😊

Got this long exposure from one of my favorite local spots and wanted reveal more of those intense sunset colors, while also having more details in the shadows through increased brightness. This time I used Skylum Luminar for the editing since just like Adobe released a new update recently.

As always I recorded the editing process, so if you want to see all the steps, check out the video here: https://youtu.be/3JpYmb1sZQA

1. Basic Adjustments
   First, I wanted to make the base image brighter. For that I raised exposure and shadows, while dropping the highlights to make sure the sky isn’t completely blown out. I also added a bit of contrast, then, adjusted the white balance to give the shot a warmer look. I also gently raised the saturation.

2. Masks
   Using a linear gradient I targeted the top of the sky and the bottom of the frame and made both areas slightly darker by dropping the exposure. Then, a radial mask was used to add a bright, glowing spot in the center area by increasing blacks and shadows. Here I also added a bit of temperature to make the glow effect appear warmer.

3. Additional effect

Since I was using Luminar there were some additional effects that aren’t available in Lightroom: I used the enhance filter to add a bit more contrast and used the sky enhance tool to make the sky pop a bit more. I also used the twilight enhancer effect to improve the sunset colors a little more. Finally, using the orton glow effect I made the image slightly softer.

4. Colors
With split toning I further added warmth to the highlights, while adding subtle blue tone to the shadows for a bit of color contrast. Then I used the Color Harmony filter to push the highlights further into a red color direction

All feedback welcome, if I overcooked them, I overcooked them. Been edited for a few hours so having trouble seeing them objectively now.

My three favorite shots from a recent trip to Spain. Shot on Fuji x100f and edited in LR classic. Constructive feedback welcome!

Playing around with some screen grabs from my gopro. Constructive criticism welcome!

Saw these three waiting for the bus and just really liked how they all seemed to be in their own worlds and yet together at the same time. Took a bit to figure out the edit. Can't decide between b&w/color. Open to feedback as well!

Hello everyone! I'm new to photography and I was wondering if anyone had advice on making photographs look better. I use Darktable and move a few sliders around until I think the photo looks okay to me. Sometimes I feel like the photo looks fine just as it is, but I haven't developed an eye for good photos yet. Does anyone have a good workflow for Darktable that's easy to follow for beginners?

Greetings, I’m looking for advice from more experienced editors on how they’d approach the editing workflow to achieve this warm style. Thanks.

While I was in Zambia a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon pictures here and there with that kinda rendering which I found aesthetic, graphic and beautiful...

So I took one of my picture of a leopard during a safari that would work with that post processing.
It's not realistic but I think it would look great on a wall...

I am feeling stuck in my post, like besides moving the settings, I'm not too sure what else to do. Is this okay, or can it be processed in a better way? Unfortunately, this was .jpg

Not sure if this is a feature that I accidentally enabled or if it’s glitching out. Thought it looked kinda cool though. This is in lightroom btw
