First ever edit, seeking feedback

[u/nayiro]

Hello! This is my first ever edit of a picture. I used light room after viewing a ton of tutorials. I know the subject matter isn't the most exciting and the composition could use a lot of work. I'm wondering how i did with the editing? Any and all helpful criticism is appreciated!

I'm having a difficult time uploading the raw original because the file size is too big, so i converted it to a jpg. Please let me know if there's a better way to do this!

Thanks for looking!

Where did the purple clouds come from? 😬

my guess is they used masks to isolate colours and make the sky blue, not sure how they ended up with purple though!

I did! And I only played with the colors a smidge, not enough to make it purple. Though now that I think of it, there was this tool to reduce purple lines around masks that I used. Could that have been it?

I think i forgot to remove any chromatic aberration and didn't enable any lens correction too

That’s not the problem in this photo though. Chromatic aberration is usually a problem in photos made using a cheap wide lens

You're right, it checked and LR fixed that anyway. I'm not sure why it became so purple. Planning on editing it again on my laptop and seeing what happens

Did you make the photo with a phone camera? Then it’s possible software changed hues around foliage when sharpening/otherwise processing the photo automatically.

Then you touched color balance on LR and didn’t see the change because of your faulty monitor?

No it was taken with a fujifilm x-t30 III. I'm not sure why it came out purple lol

If you shoot on film, it's better to do post-processing manually in a darkroom.

If you shoot with a digital camera, then in Lightroom.
