A "Blue Sky" Suits Weddings Perfectly ♡

In wedding photos or travel pictures, how often do you find yourself thinking, "This would have been perfect if the sky was blue..."?

Brides at resort weddings, where the blue sea and sky are the main attraction, may feel this more strongly.

There are times when photographers can edit the sky blue in their data, but

we often want our cell phone photos to have a "bluer sky" as well.

Wouldn't it be great if you could easily edit your photos to have a blue sky?

The truth is, you can edit your photos to add a blue sky using a free app, so let me introduce how to do it!

The app we'll use is 【Snap Seed】♡

The app for blue sky editing is the free image app "Snap Seed"＊

What happens when you simply edit the image?

The image we will edit to add a blue sky is this one＊

This is a photo I took when I visited Disneyland Shanghai. Although the weather was nice that day, the photo turned out a bit dark.

So, I want to brighten it up and add a blue sky♡

First, let’s brighten the image as it is.

Tools > Image Adjustments (top left)

You can change settings by moving up and down, and adjust by moving left and right◎

After brightening the image, it looks like this.

It has brightened overall, but has turned a bit washed out.

Since it became too washed out after brightening, let's try increasing the saturation.

Increasing the saturation makes the balloons pop nicely, but the sky remains washed out. This is the dilemma when editing normally.

In such cases, blue sky editing allows you to make only the sky more vibrant♡

《From here》 How to edit for a blue sky＊

Now, let's make just the sky part of this image vibrant＊

First, select "Part Adjustments" from the menu.

Click the + button at the bottom left and tap the area you want to adjust. At this point, you can adjust the color of the selected area, so let’s specify the sky part◎

Once specified, increase the "Saturation." As a result, the sky part's saturation rises, resulting in a blue sky!

Keep specifying the areas where you want to increase saturation ➡ and repeat to increase saturation...

Here’s the finished image♡

If you compare it with the original image, don't you think it looks completely different?

Editing everything at once makes all parts of the image change, but with this method, you can edit just the areas you want (like the sky), which can be applied to various photos, so it's good to remember this◎

Let's Enhance Your Photos with Blue Sky Editing＊

I introduced the method for "blue sky editing" that makes just the blue sky part of your photos vibrant＊

Blue sky editing is a method that allows you to adjust parts of your image. For example, it can be used when you want to "brighten only the face," "darken a slightly washed-out area," or "reduce shadows in one part"◎

Make effective use of blue sky editing to enhance your photos even further! ♡
