Finally, editing software can help enhance the overall quality of wedding photos. Advanced tools empower photographers to manipulate lighting, color balance, sharpness, clarity, and contrast– which can come in handy on cloudy days or when working with a blurry shot.
Cons Of Photoshopping Your Wedding Photos
One of the largest concerns when working with Photoshop is overdoing the manipulation. While you want to look picture-perfect in your images, you also want to look like your true self.
That’s precisely why your guests may not appreciate it if you edit them, too.
You may not like the color of someone’s dress or one of your bridesmaid’s flyaways in your wedding pictures.
Regardless, they may not want to be altered. And if you do so without asking first, this can lead to some uncomfortable and awkward situations post-wedding.
We also can’t ignore the fact that photoshopping can perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards and expectations.
For instance, if a photographer photoshops someone to look slimmer in an image, this can fuel body dysmorphia.
It can also create unnecessary pressure and stress for someone to look that way in every photo moving forward.
Not to mention, opting to photoshop all of your wedding photos can be a really time-consuming and expensive endeavor.
It can take weeks or even longer to finish editing hundreds of images from your big day. And this service will not come without a decent price tag.
