Hi Everyone 

Its a damp, dull day here at KW Photography HQ and that means it's a perfect day to be getting down to my editing.

I get asked all the time how I edit and recently I posted a bump photo of a lady in a stunning purple dress from Mii-Estilo which attracted lots of attention not only because we had a beautiful Maternity model but also the colour of the maternity dress was no longer purple. I have a selection of Maternity dresses in the studio in assorts of colours and styles but sometimes i use a little editing trickery to get the perfect photo for my lovely pregnant clients.

In the studio however I wanted to mute the colour a little and show just how versatile it really is to use for any pregnancy photo session.

 I've put together a short video of how i edited the maternity image to suit the colours i wanted , I love photoshop and I also love lightroom and use both all the time. Lots of people just use lightroom as a workflow file storage tool but I love how you can really quickly edit the majority of the photo in lightroom if you want to . For this bump photoshoot , it was so easy to change the colour of the maternity  dress without opening photoshop at all. I know I can alter the colour in photoshop as well but I just find it simple, quick and easy in Lightroom.  Watch the video and find out just how easy it is, i promise its not too long! Hope you enjoyed the video , I would love to see your comments especially if you have an easier way of doing the colour change or have found my short editing video helpful, maybe even a lightbulb moment? 

Heres the finished pregnancy photo, please pop over to my maternity gallery if you fancy bump photoshoot or get in touch if you are a photographer looking to learn more secrets. 

Bye for now
