Want to watch me edit this image in Photoshop from start to finish? It is available to watch in the Summerana Membership here.
In this editing tutorial, Summerana instructor Sara Hunt shows you her step-by-step process for editing a dull, overcast beach image to a dreamy fine art edit in Lightroom and Photoshop.
You’ll learn how to take a dark, overcast beach image and turn it into a gorgeous colorful beach image, turn grey water into a beautiful turquoise color, add color to sand, how to straighten the horizon, fix wind blown hair and add volume in Photoshop (one of the challenges you might face on the beach), how to extend your canvas and add in a brand new colorful sky to replace a blown out sky or when there is no color originally, how to add light to a lantern, how to correct and underexposed image, exposure adjustments, bringing warmth and adding color to your subject, add light to the eyes and making them pop, learn dodging and burning techniques to enhance the skin, sharpening, and more… all through hand editing and using Summerana’s Photoshop overlays and actions!
