A couple days ago I did a poll over on my different social media accounts asking which editing style everyone liked better. At the end of the poll instagram said in color and facebook chose black & white. I love your feedback so in the future ill be giving my friends on insta more colors! And facebook more artsy black & whit!


After that fun I thought it would be fun to share a little behind the scenes of those same Verdant Everyday editing presets from the poll. You don't have to be a professional photographer to use them. This is actually the same way I edit most of my cel phone pictures as well! Its a nice little way to give your images a cohesive look.


Traditionally when I am editing photos I go back and forth between these 2 Everyday Edits: an in color version and a black & white. 


To let you see the transformation Im sharing a never seen before: straight out of the camera shot! (or SOOTC)

Here is my most used in color or “Everyday” preset:


Up to 1 stop higher (this specific picture was only .25) in Lightroom or most editing apps it is called Exposure.

+5 contrast

-25 highlights

+5 shadows

-25 whites

+5 blacks

+15 Clarity

+5 Vibrancy

+35 Sharpening

-1 Dehaze

(All of these edits are found in most photo softwares.)


TADA!

My other favorite preset and used to make things look extra artsy is my Every day B&W (black & white) edit:


Up to 1 stop higher

+25 contrast

-25 highlights

+5 shadows

-25 whites

+5 blacks

+25 Clarity

+5 Vibrancy

-100 Saturation

+35 Sharpening

-1 Dehaze
