Below are two pictures. The first beautiful picture was taken with iPhone 12 Pro Max. The second picture is the same picture edited with Adobe Lightroom. Please read the comments below the second picture.


Hi. I edited the picture with Adobe Lightroom which I loaded as an App on my phone. The basic version for iPhone is free but does not have multiple masking. The paid version is not expensive and can do multiple masking so I bought it. I never knew how multiple masking works and how it allows you to edit parts of the picture separately for exposure, brightness, shadows, sharpness etc. In the original picture my wife was in the dark. I masked her and made her brighter. I also separately masked the sky and enhanced it. Light room is able to automatically find the sky and mask it if you want it to.
How about trying the free version. I am sure you will want and buy the multiple masking version!
I did not get paid to write this post!
Remember- I have only just started learning to use my iPhone with Adobe Lightroom. That sunlight on the right is too bright! I should have made it less bright. Lots still to learn!
I hope you find this post useful. .
