Master the Basics

 

Before we get into some advanced tips and tricks, you should master the basics of the app. When I talk about basic editing, I am talking about the basic parameters of a photo including brightness, contrast, saturation, shadows, highlights, and more. Most of your pictures just need a little retouching and adjusting these parameters can get the job done. You can find these parameters by going to Tools -> Tune Image. All these parameters can be individually edited using simple sliders. Make sure to master the basics before you move onto other editing tips.

It definitely results in some pretty impressive images.
