How I Edit My Instagram Photos

I’ve always loved taking and editing photos and in recent years I’ve learned some new tricks to creating an aesthetically pleasing Instagram feed. In this post, I will show you step by step how I edit my photos in order to achieve a perfect Instagram!

Step by Step Guide:

1. Purchase a Lightroom preset that fits your aesthetic. Although it isn’t necessary to purchase a set, I find that this is the easiest and quickest way to edit your photos. I purchase my sets on Etsy and they typically range from $5-10 and often include more than one preset. Click here to access the presets used in the video.
2. Download Lightroom on your phone from the app store.
3. After purchasing a preset you will have to download the presets into Lightroom (this is not shown in the video). Most preset purchases will send you a guide on how to do this right after you purchase them.
4. Once you have your presets in Lightroom, select the preset you would like to use and copy the settings.
5. Then click the photo you wish to edit and paste the settings.
6. At first, the filter may look strange so you will have to adjust the settings slightly until you get the desired look that you are going for.
7. Voilà! You are ready to take on Instagram!
