Occasionally, in our photography, we encounter moments with challenging lighting or have to capture quick snaps. Despite a promising photo, clarity may be lacking. What’s the best approach for this situation? Adjusting lighting and exposure or utilizing third-party apps? I’m a beginner in this field, so forgive any errors in this post. Your guidance is much appreciated.

Every photo is different and the techniques will be different depending on the source and the desired output. Generally, I work 90% in Adobe Lightroom and the rest in Photoshop.
Ahh, I see. Thank you for your valuable advice!
Make sure ppl see it on a very small screen (phone)

“clarity may be lacking”
So is definition in this term. It means nothing.
In case no-one else has noticed. Op is either a bot or training a bot. I think the purpose of this post it’s to gauge how widely photographers are using or suggesting the use of ai to enhance photos.
Assuming you are shooting on a DSLR or Mirrorless, the first and foremost, is to shoot RAW.
I had an occasion shooting a wedding. When shooting weddings, things can move very fast and you have to be ready to capture fleeting moments.
I had a very emotive moment happening behind me, I turned around just in time to get a photo of it and the flash misfired, luckily I was able to get enough detail back from the RAW file. That particular image happened to be one of the most cherished memories of the whole day for the couple.
In general though, I have presets in lightroom that I use to batch process images according to theme. For example I have presets for travel, sports, nature, portrait, etc.
Then I have also actions on photoshop if I want to, for example change contrast, saturation or change the mood of an image.
Most times than not, I use my own actions and presets rather than third party applications but it doesn’t hurt to play with apps, etc. Even if it is just to get new ideas.
Wow, that sounds like a lot of experience and great advice! I’m just starting out with photography and it’s a bit overwhelming.The idea of using Lightroom presets for thematic processing and custom Photoshop actions to mold the image’s mood is nothing short of fascinating. I’d love to hear more about your journey as a photographer and any tips you have for someone like me.
Stand behind your stereotypically nerdy looking tech person and say “Enhance. Zoom in and enhance.”
Haha, that sounds like a classic movie moment! It’s always fun to playfully embrace those tech clichés. Just remember, in real life, enhancing images is usually a bit more complex than it looks in the movies.

In reality, uploading this post is an integral part of my academic assignments. I am currently an architecture student from Thailand. In the context of our Language class, we’ve been tasked with the challenge of embracing a new hobby as a means to bolster our English language proficiency. This involves immersing ourselves in English-language learning resources, both in text and video form. Furthermore, active participation within our Reddit community is a central component of this learning journey. Lastly, we are required to meticulously document our activities and progress. As a result, my primary aim is to showcase my linguistic competence in these endeavors. I do apologize if this has caused any inconvenience.
