1 famous way to improve your photos – The S-curve preset
All right guys and girls, here comes one of the most common things we Photoshop lovers do when we want to improve our photos. It’s called the S-curve adjustment. -Now what is that? Well In Photoshop there are many ways to adjust the levels of the dark and white areas in a photo. By intensifying these areas, a greater contrast is achieved in the photo you’re editing. SOOC images you grab directly from your camera tend to have a dull layer above them. The S-curve is exactly what is sounds like, it’s a path that looks like an diagonal lying “S”. In Lightroom there is a setting called “Tone Curve” (It’s called Curves in Photoshop) it works exactly like in Photoshop. The only thing this preset does is to apply this S-curve setting on your photos. That’s it, just +50 Lights and -50 Darks. Pretty simple but very effective. The preset is called “PH CleanUp S-Curve”.
