We all know how to slap a filter onto an image and

hope for the best, but most of us leave real photo
editing to the professionals.

Whether it’s the prohibitive cost of many of the editing

apps or how complicated they seem at first glance, it’s
understandable you might feel like you can’t get the
best out of your pictures.

However, TikTokers have come through again,

popularising a way to edit your photos completely free
and in hardly any time.

Start off by turning your brilliance and exposure to

100. This seems more for the surprise element than
anything else, as you turn them both back to 0 at the
end of the process.

All the numbers you need are below. Edit in order.

Exposure: 100
Brilliance: 100
Highlights: -32
Shadows: -32
Contrast: -30
Brightness: -15
Black point: 10
Saturation: 9
Vibrancy: 8 
Warmth: 10
Tint: 40
Sharpness: 15
Definition: 23
Exposure: 0
Brilliance: 0

This trick doesn’t change you in the picture, it simply

brings out the vibrancy of your original snap.

As you can see in the before-and-after above,

elements of the photo are more defined and the
colours appear brighter in comparison to the
shadows.

It might not be influencer-level retouching, but the

integrity of your shot is still intact and you didn’t have

Let us know in the comments how you get on.
