Tips on Editing Winter Images to Perfection
Winter photography needs special skills, the same as winter image editing. In this article, I cover tips that make your winter image editing a breeze.
What Makes Winter Image Editing Different?
Four elements make winter photos different:
1- Bright Reflection from the Ice and Snow, which usually results in under-exposed images.
2- Winter Dim Light, which forces you to use a higher ISO, which can result in grainy (Noisy) pictures.
3- Directional Sun can cause harsh highlights and shadows.
4- White Balance is usually incorrect, turning the white snow to pink (magenta) or blue (cyan).
I edited a typical winter shot, and you can see the steps in the following photos:
