The Perfect Photo Editing Workflow
5 steps to consistent, efficient, professional results.
1
Import & Organize
Upload photos to a folder. Name by date (2026-03-24-beach). Delete obvious rejects immediately.
2
Cull (Select Best Shots)
Go through every photo. Star the keepers, delete the rest. Be ruthless — quality over quantity.
3
Base Edit (Technical Fixes)
White balance → Exposure → Contrast → Shadows/Highlights. Fix what the camera got wrong. This is color correction.
4
Creative Edit (Style)
Apply a filter preset. Add grain, fade, or vignette. Add overlays (timestamp, aura). This is color grading — your personal style.
5
Export (Correct Format + Size)
JPEG 85% for sharing. WebP for web. Full resolution for archive. Use our batch processor for multiple exports.
