Wild 9 lr preset8/13/2023 ![]() then I'm afraid not even Photoshop could do a good enough patch work on that.ĭepending on how over-exposed the photo is, you can most likely bring the highlights and exposure back down and salvage the details. And I'll show you how in the next section!īut if you wanted say, your entire body in the photo and the person cut you off from the hip up. If the photo is slanted or didn't exactly follow the rule of thirds, but still completely captured the subject. But unfortunately, not all photos can be saved and I'm about to go through that list above and tell you why:īad Composition: Salvageable most of the time! Now, there are a few ways to go about saving bad photos. ![]() How to figure out which of the 'bad photos' you can save? Too blue or too orange: from incorrect colour temperature settingsĢ. Unfocused or blurry photo: from slow shutter speed or fast movements Under-exposed: too dark that you can hardly make out the details Over-exposed: too bright that you can't see a lot of the details So with this spectrum of perspective in mind, here are a few things that make a photo 'bad':īad composition: waaaay to zoomed up or a badly framed subject Whereas I prefer a closer up shot of my mid-section body and the view behind me.Īnother example could be when an iphone photo is too bright or too dark because of where the person decided to tap and focus. So good photos weigh on the right side, which happens to coincide with what the majority of the population prefers in a photo.Īnd bad photos simply fall into the left side of this preference spectrum - meaning that very few people share this preference in style.įor example: in that scenario above, the stranger taking the photo might have preferred a wide angled perspective, taking everything around me in, including my feet and the man eating his pie waaaaay on the left. There’s no right or wrong, simply a spectrum of preferences. Let's quickly define what a GOOD photo is first and then we can work down the spectrum, shall we? So we all know that saying: Plus, how to fix up the salvageable ones using the Crop & resize tool, photo presets and advanced LR tools. Good news is, you can absolutely salvage badly taken photos!Īnd in this blog post, you'll learn which photos can be salvaged and which cannot. Let's say you have an avoidance personality (like me) and opt for the latter. It just happens to be that we had different perceptions about what a 'good composition' is - and that's ok.īut now you're wondering if you should try your luck again and ask someone else? Or just suck it up and try salvage that awkward photo? You take one look and your creative eye wants to vomit because "HOW did they get the composition SO wrong?" - but you bite your tongue, smile back and thank them kindly for their time.īefore I go on, I just want to say how immensely grateful I am that people even stop in the first place and are so kind about helping me take some photos. They click away, then ask you if it's ok. Let's be honest, we've all had those awkward moments where we ask a stranger if they could take a photo of us, and they oh-so-kindly oblige.
