WEDDINGS PORTFOLIO
Riaan West offers 2 x post production editing looks. Classic look (CL) and presets (PR).
CLASSIC (CL)
A classic image is an image that consists of natural editing with minimum adjustments applied. Basically true tone, pure colour with no filters applied. A preset can be applied to a classic image. Very important! if a preset is applied to a classic image, exported and handed over to the Client, the image can not be reverted back to a classic image.
PRESETS (PR)
A preset is a custom filter applied using Adobe Lightroom. A preset image is a classic colour image with an applied filter to achieve a specific look or theme. Please note that once a preset (filter) is applied to a classic colour image, the image cannot be reverted back to the original true tone 1:1 natural classic colour image after a preset filter has been applied. Please store and keep your classic colour images safe and unprocessed and never apply any filter to your classic colour images without making a backup copy/set.
