If your highlights are underexposed, slide this slider to the right, but be sure not to overexpose your highlights. To compensate for this, slide the highlights slider to the left. Highlights – In this image, the red indicator in the highlights shows me where there is very little detail.Contrast – Adjust the contrast to make sure that the dark areas of the image are dark enough, but don’t lose details here.Slide the exposure slider to adjust this. Exposure – Take a look at your exposure, the image might be a little dark, or maybe a little bright.In this scene, I chose to move toward the warmer side. This can be used to correct a colour cast, or to add some drama to your image.
You can adjust the temperature to make the colour of the scene warmer (slide towards yellow) or cooler (slide towards blue).
Temperature – Start off by taking a look at the colour in your scene. As it opens, you will see a selection of tools on the right hand side, mostly sliders such as: White Balance, Tint, Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation.Ĭlose up of the basic RAW editor sliders Making adjustments in the RAW editor The latest updates have made the ACR editor in Photoshop almost a separate image editing tool, it’s that powerful. The ACR editor is a really powerful tool. Let’s assume that you are going to edit and you have shot in RAW, open your image up in Photoshop and you will see the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) Editor open. Of course, RAW is only useful if you are going to spend time editing your images in Photoshop or Lightroom. Some information has already been discarded, which means you are working with less image information, which in turn means you have less flexibility in the editing process. A JPEG image has already had adjustments make in camera to compress it to that file size. Firstly, you are working with a full uncompressed file of data. I know, you may not want to shoot in RAW because the file sizes are so big, or you don’t really see the benefits, but RAW really does make a difference. Make sure you start off with a good image out of camera, then go through these steps in order. Trying to make an average image pop, is not what this is about. 
As always, it implies that you have a good image to start with. What does it mean to make your images pop? It can mean a number of things, but mostly it means to have more colour, contrast, and look more dramatic.
