Thank you @kudihighonlife for suggesting that I make a Reel with the process of editing a photo. So, here it is!It isn't anything very complicated, as I usually only do subtle and global edits to most pictures. I try to get the framing correct and lines as straight as possible while taking the picture itself, so that I don't have to do much of editing at all.These days I mostly use only one app and that is @vsco, and most of the recent photos that you've seen on my feed go through pretty much the same process.Steps here: – In VSCO, first I applied one of my favourite presets (K3) which I have been using for years as I like its look.- Adjust Perspective (here the option is under Skew)- Rotate (it's under Crop and Straighten)- Then Crop to 4:5- I added a bit of Sharpening and Clarity- Increased Saturation a little bit- Decreased Highlights a little bitand that's it. The exact steps and the app I used actually aren't that important (as there are many ways to achieve a similar result).The thought process though, is to get an interesting and symmetrical frame where all the lines are straight, avoiding unnecessary distractions and ensuring that detail is not lost in highlights and shadows. To be honest much of this is also taken care of by the AI in the phone itself. I always shoot on AUTO mode on phone, and in JPEG.For making the B&W version I simply opened the photo in Snapseed, went to the B&W option, selected Neutral, and added a bit of Contrast.#karthikabhiram #tutorial @samsungwithgalaxy #withgalaxy #s22 @amb_cinemas #hellohyderabad

Instagram has introduced an "Add mentions" option in Stories, which gives two advantages —• You can mention someone in a Story after you have posted it• Its a way to tag people in Story without others seeing itPreviously, if you wanted to do the latter, you had the below options —• Type the @ mention, reduce the font size and make it the same colour as the background• Type the @ mention and put a sticker or GIF on top of it• Type the @ mention and drag it off away from the active screen areaI think this "Add mentions" option is a cleaner and better way.There's a second part in this Reel with one more tip about using Image sticker to put a picture on Story rather than just selecting a photo.(I thought of posting these just on Story and then thought, why not make a Reel instead, which will probably get better Reach).#karthikabhiram #Reels #instagramtips

Shorter Reels are better, I saw in a YouTube video that the appropriate length for a Reel is between 7-15 seconds. #karthikabhiram #withgalaxy #Reels

Playing with #dallemini, this is a fascinating AI tool that generates images based on any prompt you give it, I tried some today and thought I'll put those in this Reel. #karthikabhiram #aigeneratedart

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)Directed by Deborah ChowThis "Star Wars" project was apparently to be a movie, sitting alongside the other "A Star Wars Story" movies like "Rogue One" and "Solo", however after the latter movie underperforming, and after the subsequent good reception of the Disney Plus shows, this became a limited series. It's a short one, with only six episodes out of which five are released, the last one will turn up the copming Wednesday.It's a well made show, with good visuals and it's great to see Ewan McGregor in the title role and I've liked the five episodes so far. However, unless they show us something extraordinary in the last episode, I'm of the opinion that this show gave us some cool things that we wanted to see, but in the long run didn't add much to the overall lore, at least for me (I haven't watched the numerous animated series so maybe I'm not as invested).It does have a 10 year old Princess Leia played by actress Vivien Lyra Blair though, which is a highlight. The young actress does do well and they have introduced shades of Leia's adult personality here. I drew her, the drawing was done with 0.5 mm 4B pencil on A5 notebook. I'm just posting a scan of it as a single image post.#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #obiwankenobi#leia #princessleia#pencilart #pencil #pencilsketch #pencildrawing#670 / 18-Jun-22
