From Photographer To Protographers
Starting this month, I'm opening a new space here on the blog especially for fellow photographers and students who have been following me for so long and are looking to improve their editing skills. Every 15th of the month, we'll have a scheduled meeting with valuable tips on image editing, focusing on EVOTO, the tool that has transformed my workflow.
You know that moment when you finally find a tool that seems to read your mind? That’s exactly how I felt when I started using EVOTO. And now, I'm going to share with you everything I've learned about editing images using this tool.
I’ll be opening up my process, showing the behind-the-scenes of my edits, and sharing practical tips that really make a difference in the final result.
To start, I’ve separated some techniques that save me time and still guarantee that magical touch in the photos. Let’s go:
- Basic Adjustments: Before moving on to refinements, it’s essential to get the base right. In EVOTO, applying my preset is the starting point. Then, in the Color Adjustments tab, if needed, I make small tweaks to exposure, contrast, white balance, and curves. It’s like preparing the canvas before starting to paint. I always begin by adjusting these elements to ensure the image is balanced and ready to receive the details.
- Selectable Masks: This feature is simply addictive. Imagine being able to adjust the exposure or skin tone of the baby without touching the background? Or brighten the background without affecting the skin? EVOTO does this automatically, saving valuable time. And the best part? It already recognizes the areas without you having to manually select them. Perfect for those who, like me, love agility without compromising quality.
- Skin Treatment: In the skin adjustment tab, you can smooth imperfections without losing natural texture. By the way, I’m a fan of the texture EVOTO leaves on the skin. And here’s a bonus: it also adjusts wrinkled clothes effortlessly. Seriously, it’s one of those features you don’t believe until you see it working.
- Infinite Background: Who hasn’t struggled to erase the tripod that appeared in the background or smooth out that wrinkled paper backdrop? With EVOTO, these adjustments are just a click away. It removes distractions and evens out the background color without stress. It’s that smooth, classic, and minimalist effect that I love so much.
- Presets: If you've already created your presets on other platforms, the good news is that you can import them to EVOTO and maintain the consistency of your style. And for those who don’t have their own preset yet, I'm making one of mine available for free so you can start testing. Just download it here!
- Extra Tip: EVOTO works on a credit system, meaning you only spend when you export the photo. You can download the software for free and test it as much as you want. And to give you that initial push, I have a discount code of up to 20% off your first purchase. Just use the code PALOMA.
And this is just the beginning. Every 15th, I’ll be here, sharing what I’m learning, what I’m testing, and how EVOTO has helped me tell stories more impactfully through editing. So, mark it on your calendar and join me on this journey. See you in the next post!
Happy editing!
