We are thrilled to have a new grand daughter. She and her sister live a 2 1/2 hour drive away from me so every moment we can be together is precious!
I had the privilege recently of capturing her during a nap.
The above image has been post-processed.
When I first uploaded the RAW files, I was a saddened by the harshness of the images. The clarity emphasized a mild rash on her skin.
In Lightroom, I found a couple of settings that softened the overall look.
As you can see in the lower portion of this module, under “presence”, I reduced the clarity quite a bit.
By reducing vibrance, the shades of colour lighten a little.
Reducing saturation I got an even softer, lighter look.
The image below shows the original image on the left and the adjusted image on the right.
It turned into a much sweeter, dreamier image, don’t you think?
