Black and Grey Tone Lightroom Photo Editing Tutorial | Preset Download

  Hey folks, how are you doing today? I hope today has been amazing so far. Here is another photo editing article, and in this post, I would like to share some tips and tricks on how to edit a black and grey tone. January is the beginning of the year, and you want to start the year by editing high-quality and premium photos. To enhance and give a better effect to a simple natural photo. I've created the dark and gray Lightroom presets, which we use to edit your simple photos and turn them into high-quality, contrast, and detail photos. The concept of today's editing is not that I will not just change the background color and skin tone of a normal photo, but I have also provided a preset that you can download below in this post.



The photo above is just a concept of two models in the same pose but with different tones and background colors. The one on the left is the normal photo shoot in raw, straight out from the camera. If you focus on the background behind the model, you will notice that the trees and the grass are just normal nature green. But as for the edited photos, the background and trees are turned a black and gray color with added bright tone features for the model's face and skin. The models in the phone are the same with the same pose, both sitting on hilly terrain with a sweatshirt, pants, and a pair of sneakers.
