5 Editing Tools EVERY Photographer Should Know How to Use

Editing photos is essential to the intention of any photographer. There is a wide range of software available today, but understanding how to use 5 essential tools - histograms, sliders, levels, curves and color wheels will make it possible to edit in any photo editor whether its Lightroom, Photoshop, Capture One, Luminar 4 or any application available today.

I've made many tutorials on editing photos and I almost always get requests to repeat the tutorial using other software. Understanding these 5 fundamental editing tools will show you how to understand light and color.
