Edit application photo - the best tips

There is actually not much to consider when editing application photos. In this article we show you which point is decisive.

Edit and retouch application photos

Be careful when retouching application photos. You can't completely change your nose just because you don't like the shape of your nose.

• But there are a few things you can do.
• For example, if you slept poorly on the day of the photo shoot and therefore had dark circles under your eyes, you can retouch them.
• You can either use Photoshop, Gimp or an online service for this.
• You can actually retouch anything that doesn't change your natural appearance.
• Working on small pimples and redness is completely normal and allowed.
• The situation is different with birthmarks or scars. Even if you don't like them, you can't touch them up.

Adjust lighting of application photos

Quite often, application photos have an unfavorable light. Especially if you take the pictures yourself and at home, there may be problems due to insufficient lighting.

• Fortunately, you can digitally lighten photos and adjust colors. So you can make yourself look a little healthier if you were very pale on the original.
• You can play with the general brightness, but also with the contrasts.
• You have to try something around to find the settings that suit you.
• We have already shown you how to brighten photos for both Gimp and Photoshop Elements.
• Another option would be the JPG illuminator, for example.
