How to Use Your Preset

Step 1: Apply your Beach 01 Preset to your photo.

Step 2: Adjust the lighting, contrast, highlights, and shadows to perfect the brightness, exposure and contrast in your photo. Every photo may require small tweaks because lighting conditions will differ!

Step 3: Crop & Straighten as required

How to Correct Orange Skin tones on Your Subject

Method 1: Desaturate the Orange HSL

This will correct the orange skin tone while also reducing the overall presence of orange across the photo as a whole. This method works well if you have a lot of white in your background as it will also help preserve the true tone of the white!

Method 2: Mask Your Subject (This is my preferred method)

Masking your subject and decreasing the temperature will reduce the orange skin tones while preserving the warmth in the rest of the photo. This method is my favourite as I can precisely target the subjects skin without changing the warmth and temperature of the rest of the photo.
