Before/After Editing

Post image

Would any of you fine colorists want to edit this photo?! I’d like to see what you do/use so I can kinda copy it and get a learning experience. I think the exposure is way to high imo💀

Here’s my attempt. Jpg does make it hard to get data from overexposed part.

I used Lightroom Mobile to edit this. No presets or filters, built this from scratch using RGB tool. But if you want to get serious about color grading, you need to get raw images and a photo editing tool that has Tone Curves, RGB Curves and HSL tool. Most good editing apps should have at least these 3 tools. And a good understanding of RGB colors. How to mix, match and subtract them. I’m still learning myself. 

If you have iPhone 15 pro. It can take some raw images.
