Step Three:
Normally, I start by adjusting the white balance (see page
8
), but in this case, I'm okay with
the overall color temperature (don't get me wrong, I'm going to pump up the color in just
a moment, but as far as it being too warm or too cool, or just totally wrong, I'm okay with
that part for this particular photo. That's pretty common for shots taken outdoors, where
white balance usually isn't a big issue). I usually do my edits in the Basic panel from top
to bottom (that way I don't miss anything), and that means starting with fixing the over-
Exposure slider to the right makes the whole image brighter, and in this case, dragging to
around +90 looks about right to me (there's no official “right” number. This is a call you
have to make by looking at the photo, not the numbers—stop dragging to the right when it
looks good to you personally).
