Before and After Edit in Adobe Photoshop
Want to see how a simple photo becomes a piece of art? In this Photoshop before-and-after edit, I walk you through exactly how I transformed an image using a blend of my custom presets and carefully selected overlays.
Presets help set the tone by quickly establishing mood and color balance, while overlays add depth, light effects, sometimes texture, and a touch of storytelling magic. Whether it's glowing light flares or a burst of light, these adjustments enhance the atmosphere without overpowering the original shot.
