How to Use Her Style for Different Photos

| Photo Type | Adjustment Tips | |------------|----------------| | Portraits | Protect skin tones: keep oranges/reds slightly warmer than environment. Use negative clarity for a soft glow. | | Landscapes | Push greens toward olive/teal. Lower blue luminance for moody skies. | | Street/Indoors | Raise blacks and shadows for a dreamy, low-contrast look. Add grain to unify digital noise. | | Night shots | Keep deep shadows but lift black point. Reduce highlight recovery to preserve light sources. | Step 4: Split Toning (The Teal & Amber)
