A huge part of how my photos look happens during the editing process—this is where they come alive. In this video I show my full Lightroom Mobile workflow from start to finish, and I keep it simple: editing first, then masking. I walk you through three different photos (including a portrait) so you can see how the same steps adapt depending on the scene. My baseline is always the same: I apply my preset first (my “Misty Roads” preset), then I fine-tune exposure and highlights until I’m happy. After that, I jump into Color Mix to fix the stuff that usually breaks the look—like oranges getting too saturated (I reduce orange saturation) and blues feeling muted (I boost blue saturation and sometimes push hue slightly toward teal). I also clean up distractions using Healing (yes, even dust spots from not cleaning the lens). Masking is what makes the edit stand out. I use linear gradients to darken edges and control the frame, and a radial gradient to pull attention to the subject. For portraits, I go a bit further: I brighten the face with a radial mask, cool the white balance slightly, and use Select Subject + invert to darken the background for that moody look. I also show a quick Dehaze tweak for an extra filmic vibe, then balance exposure again.
