>>4299417> How do you know when and what to edit? I've watched plenty of tutorials for different editing software and I still can't open up and image and think "Oh, I need to do x y and z here"Well, it's taste.
For me personally I usually go for "bumping up details" (In lightroom: more highlights, contrast, more clarity/texture) on parts that look cool, and lower the highlights on areas I don't like on an image.
For color, I just go with "spli toning" to enhance a temperature, warm places/photos I go with the orange teal (inb4 instagram faggot), colder places I have blue shadows. I want to enhance what the image already got and push it. Saturation/vibrance I just go with gut feeling.
It really is just to practice, use "professional" referneces (I used movie screen shots) if you don't know if it is good enough.
