Trying to get to grips with post processing using lightroom 4 (and also with the free Perfect Photo 9.5).
It is mainly trial and error, and often the results look overdone, and rarely better than the original image.
How do you determine what needs to be done in PP for a particular image? Am I correct in thinking that many people apply a standard set of actions to a whole batch of images once imported, e.g. sharpening, contrast adjustment, etc.? Is there a recognised starting point or preset? Or do people tend to individually adjust on a photo by photo basis?
How do you create a particular processing style?
I've read the Adobe Lr4 pdf guide and started to watch a series of online tutorial videos but I still feel I'm failing to make it click.
All suggestions gratefully received.
