🎨 How I Edit My Instagram Photos | Inspired by TessChristine
✨ Why Editing Matters
Great editing turns your raw photos into eye-catching content that fits your personal brand and style. TessChristine's photos are known for their bright, clean, and natural aesthetic — here's how to achieve that!

📲 Apps I Use
Lightroom Mobile — for precise color correction and tone adjustments

VSCO — for adding subtle film-like filters

Snapseed — for spot healing and fine-tuning details

Facetune (light use) — smoothing skin or enhancing features subtly

🛠 Step-by-Step Editing Process
1. Crop & Straighten
Use the crop tool to frame your subject well

Straighten horizons or lines to keep the photo balanced

2. Adjust Exposure & Contrast
Increase brightness slightly to keep the image light and airy

Add contrast to make colors pop and details stand out

3. Tone & Color Correction
Adjust highlights and shadows for depth

Slightly increase warmth for a natural glow (avoid too much yellow)

Play with tint sliders (green/magenta) for subtle mood tweaks

4. Sharpen & Clarity
Add a touch of sharpness for crispness without overdoing it

Use clarity to enhance midtones gently

5. Apply Filters or Presets
Use VSCO filters like A6 or C1 at low strength for a consistent vibe

Alternatively, use Lightroom presets that brighten and soften the image

6. Retouching (Optional)
Use Snapseed's healing tool to remove blemishes or distractions

Lightly smooth skin with Facetune for a natural finish

💡 Pro Tips
Keep edits consistent to maintain a recognizable feed style

Avoid over-editing—natural and fresh beats heavy filters

Use natural light photos to make editing easier and more effective

Experiment, but stay true to your vibe!
