In this video, you’ll learn a complete 5-stage photo editing workflow in Photoshop designed to bring balance, depth, and realism to your images. The process begins with Base Adjustments in Camera Raw, where you correct exposure, color temperature, and overall tone before opening your image as a Smart Object for non-destructive editing. From there, you’ll clean up distractions using Object Removal, then refine your tones through General Color Adjustments to unify the look. The next stage covers Sharpening with the High Pass Filter, enhancing detail without introducing harshness. You’ll also explore Lighting Adjustments using blend modes and masks to precisely control highlights and shadows, plus creative touches like the Orton Effect for a dreamy glow. Each step works together to create a polished, professional finish while maintaining flexibility in your edit. Which stage do you think makes the biggest difference in your edits?
