What editing tool do you you the most? I use the histogram, unsharp mask, and curves the most in Paint Shop Pro. I was wondering if there are other editing tools that are commonly used that I need to learn.
Levels, soft light layer (at a low opacity), color curves (photoshop elements), and hue/sat. As needed, I dodge and burn and I almost always use that tool on eyes to make them pop.
Curves and dodge/burn to lighten dark areas. I also use the 'fix' in CS4 to fix blemishes if needed. I downloaded a bunch of free actions from Pioneer Woman and also from MCP and those are great!
I use lightroom presets alot. I also adjust the exposure, vibrance, and clarity. Does anyone know how to operate the soft focus or if there is an airbrush effect in lightroom?
Auto levels and auto colour (not all the time - sometimes I don't like what the auto things do), brightness/contrast, and adjusting colour balance/selective colour to really bring things out. :)
Occasionally I'll add a Lighten (if the black is too harsh) or a Darken (if the whites are too bright) layer.
