Clean edit, saturated look

[KimMoore]

Hi Damien,

I wondered if I could pick your brains on something

I have been following this photographer for sometime now & love the her clean edit/saturated colour's look.

I know I am only in Levels, but wondered if this is something we will learn along the way.  The images have a real pop about them.

May I see an equivalent indoor photo of your own?

[KimMoore]

One that has had both RAW & levels adjustments?

[KimMoore]

either of these two?

[Damien Symonds]

Can you try something for me?  A Hue/Saturation layer, with the Saturation slider at -100, with the layer on "Hard Light" blend mode.  Then play with layer opacity.

I've found everything, but the blend mode?

What do you mean?

[KimMoore]

I might of miss read this.  I thought blend mode was a separate thing I needed to find.

Would this be the process you would follow on most photos to produce this look?

Yeah, it's just a slightly different variation of the midtone contrast that we add at the end of most edits.
