Hey @vhfoto711 thank you man π that is much appreciated.
I use an app called Snapseed which allows me to ligten or darken the pic in different layers!
I normal use 1 or 2 of the instagram filters first then open up the pic on this app! (All done on the phone for the editing side of things) you can play around with it and you end up finding bits that work for one pic and not for others! Once you see a few different layers together you then get a feel of how to make the pic the way you invision it! There were a few I got stuck on but due to my stubornness π€£π€£π I got there in the end π (I will tag you in the one that was doing my head in when I post it) ππ€£ππ€£π
