Unleashed Edit: June's Pastelicious Action Shot

View All Edits

Twilight is a beautiful time of day to shoot, but what you end up with in-camera rarely captures those beautiful pastel tones you see in real life.

All those pastel colours and subtle tones are lurking in the RAW file though - you just need to know what edits to make to bring them out!

In this comprehensive tutorial, Charlotte transforms a flat, dark and cool twilight action shot into a crisp, colourful explosion of white fur, pastel colours and splashy beach fun!
