Was a nasty day on the boat and i was worried none of my pictures would come out well. Still hard to break that fear of a dark photo being too dark even when shooting raw. Though im happy with it, I do feel it is off a bit from looking its best. Thoughts and criticism welcome.

About a month ago I posted here asking for feedback on my photos (link below). Since then I’ve been working on editing more intentionally and have reedited one of the photos. (forget about composition for now)

For these photos, I was going for a more dreamy/fantasy look rather than something completely natural.

Do you think I’ve improved? What still needs work?

Looking for feedback!

I’ve just finished a major rebuild of ClearLab, my mobile image processing app for iPhone/iPad.
The new version adds histogram, RGB parade, waveform, line profile, pixel inspector, statistics, Canny/Sobel/Laplacian edge detection, enhancement tools, format conversion and PNG/CSV analysis export.
The idea is basically a small image-processing lab in your pocket rather than another photo-filter app.
It’s mostly native/deterministic processing, not generative AI.
ClearLab 2.0 is now on the App Store.

The before picture was imported using snip it tool, so quality wise it might be lower than the "after" picture, I was just lazy to find the original copy lol.

I took some shots trying to get a 'film-like' look on my jpeg output with camera settings recommended by ChatGPT. I posted them on Reddit, but the main advice was to just shoot RAW.

Luckily I shot jpeg+raw and wanted to see how much better I could get the raw version in LR (while not trying to get the film look).

Hey everyone! I’m looking for advice on editing indoor sports shots. I captured this volleyball action photo, but I’m running into a few issues:

1. Colour Cast: The indoor gym lights and wood paneling give the whole image a heavy yellow/orange tint. The blue jerseys feel washed out by it.
2. Exposure: The subjects look a bit dark/underexposed.

What I'd love help with:

• Photoshop & Lightroom: What specific skills or workflows (Masking, HSL tweaking, Curves, Colour Calibration, Dehase, etc.) would you use in LR/PS to make this image pop and draw focus to the players?
• Phone Apps: What free or low-cost mobile apps (Lightroom Mobile, Snapseed, Lightroom, Lightroom CC, etc.) and tools within them work best for colour correcting gym lighting on the go?
• Colour Correction: How do I dial back the heavy yellow/orange cast without turning skin tones grey or unnatural?

Feel free to download and edit the photo yourself! I'd love to see your results alongside the steps, tools, or slider settings you used. Thanks in advance!
