New apps, new social media platform updates, new gear. There’s always something new coming at photographers. It’s so easy to be caught up in all that’s new, that sometimes we forget about the perfectly good tools we already have.
That was the case for me recently, until I started doing a task that most of us dread: dumping a few years of photos off my smartphone to my computer storage. There were some key photos from vacations past that I wanted to adjust, but when you’re offloading thousands of photos at midnight, the thought of some tedious touch-up work doesn’t sound too great.
That’s when I thought about my old friend Radiant Photo.
I dragged a photo into the interface, waited 3 seconds for the magic to happen, made another quick adjustment, and began exporting the photo out. Total elapsed time was 8 seconds. Specifically, I used the winter landscape preset and made a sky adjustment. The end result was a sharper photo that more accurately resembled the crisp, cool, wintry setting around Neuschwanstein Castle.
Radiant Photo is great at detailed editing, but we forget that it can help us out in a pinch. Photographers are just like everyone else; we wait until we have way too many photos to go through. But that’s OK, we have tools that can make great decisions on their own to make us more efficient. Keep that in mind.
