Guiding Your Viewer’s Eye - In Post #534

The reason we post-process our photos is to make them stronger. Photos get stronger when the subject is accentuated, and your processing choices should aim to showcase your subject. Not every photo is a 5-star killer image. Yet every image is an opportunity to practice. On this edition of In Post, I share how a series of adjustments improve the story of my photo and guide my viewer toward the subject of my scene - the majestic Hotel Del Coronado.

Check out this short video to see how you can use masks to visually nudge your viewer through your scenes.
