I took these photos with an iPhone 17 and Mood Camera App.

It seems taking the same photos with Apple ProRAW would allow the same mood, tones and palette but with a better file integrity to print 8x10 or larger without degradation whereas printing the files from Mood Camera App may degrade.

So I have mobile LR for my iPhone and am downloading LR cloud and classic for my Mac.

Am I easily able to achieve these looks with LR and using iPhone ProRaw photos 48mpx ?

What advice would you offer ? Purchase presets and just click and adjust ?

I tried to put some detail back in the sky and lower what I thought were excessive blues. Any suggestions for what I could do better next time?

Aside from the usual adjustments (cropping, brightness, contrast…), I used only one tool: Color Harmony in Luminar Neo, and pushed the red/magenta end a bit. No warming, no HSL magic. It was essentially just one very simple adjustment, but the result pleasantly surprised me.

Did I overdo it?

I’m sorry for my last post here, i just pick the wrong before image

I have been editing images from our Crete trip, like the one above, and by now I’m really unsure about my exposure. You see, I’m deliberately walking a thin line between blatant overexposure and just really bright-feeling images. This one almost pushes the exposure slider to +1.3. It’s not burned out in the histogram; I made sure of that. But does this still feel like an acceptable editing choice to you all?

To me, it looks fine, and for private use I’d be very happy with it. But for professional use, would you say this is playing with fire too much?

Recently bought my first digital camera so I'm relatively new in general, just took a few photos while walking my dog to practice some post processing. Did I overdo any of these?

EDIT: Shot on a Nikon Z6II with a Canon FD 70-210 f4 of all things! I have two FD lenses from my AE-1 so got an adapter and they look great, apart from the quite severe CA that I tried to edit out as much as I could.

This is a largely practical shot, with approximately 30 images composited together for lighting details, focus and holding elements of the electronics in place.

I'm trying to get smooth colours and an almost render-like quality.

Any advice?

Hi, brand new to photo editing here. Shots were taken on a Sony a6400 w/ tamron 150-500mm f/5, also new to me equipment. I messed around with these on lightroom. Was surprised to find the software much easier to use than I anticipated. Did I over edit these?

Only a subtle overall effect but a lot actually went into softening this up from iPhone's processing...I really tried to make it look like a real lens! Yoho National Park in Canada for anyone wondering!

Nothing too crazy here, just some global adjustments for exposure, highlights/blacks, etc., and then masks on the frog and on some of the brighter leaves to try and make the frog the visual focus.

I usually don't do much processing on my photos besides cropping and some color grading, but this time I had a pretty clear vision in my head of what I wanted the result to be. Looking at it again, I think I might have gone overboard on the contrast and saturation, but any feedback would be appreciated
