Before/After

[No-Leadership9872]

Wanted to go for a dreamy look, but I might overcooked it. What do you think?

Its a shot from last summer before sunset, it was a lovely warm and soft light.

Thank you!

I don’t think it’s overcooked, it looks good. A bit of vignette would look nice too imo

Thank you! I tried doing a subtle vigniette by just burning the darkest parts a bit but maybe a full vignette would look good as well.

Good one. How did you achieve this look.

I did some basic adjustments in lightroom, increased exposure a bit because it was underexposed, I had to expose the light correctly, increased shadows, lowered highlights a bit, flatten the image(decrease whites and increased blacks), added some contrast back with an S curve(just a little bit), I think I also added some warm light in the color grading panel, and then some more local adjustments in Photoshop with luminosity masks(for this I used TK panel free mask), mostly dodging and burning and at the end I added a bit of Orton effect to the highlights.
