🎬 My Full Photo Editing Process (Evoto + Photoshop Breakdown)

Yo, so I realized I should’ve been recording these edits for Patreon this whole time — better late than never, right? Here’s literally my whole workflow from raw to ready, all while knocking out like 5-10 client packages before heading to Tennessee.

🔥 Preset Game Strong

• Main preset: SV Flame Night Time — I slap this on most flame photos to handle skin, clothes, clarity, vibrancy, etc.

• I tweak the background separately — playing with sliders, shadows, hues — especially when the sun's setting.

• Started saving a ton of presets into a full pack dropping this week. Y’all gonna love it.

🛠️ Evoto Workflow (Super Quick Edits)

• I’m flying through photos using copy-paste preset edits, adjusting contrast when clients look ashy or too bright.

• Masking is 🔑. I isolate the subject, boost vibrancy on clothes, reduce exposure where needed.

• Sky replacement? Evoto’s got heat — I just preview different skies, match the vibe, and hit it with some sky blur for realism.

• All these flame pics? Done in like 2 minutes each. For real.

🧠 Photoshop Touch-Up Game

• Remove tool? MVP. I clean flyaways, random strings, and even reflections.

• Using Select Subject + Remove.bg to add custom PNGs like chemistry equations or flames 🔥 (yes, for real).

• Generative Fill + Mixer Brush combo = cheat code. I let AI build or clean the image, then fine-tune with a few manual touches.

• Topaz Photo AI is in the mix now — sharpens blurry client picks like magic.

📏 Cropping & Exporting

• Every photo gets cropped to 4:5 so folks don’t cut off their feet on IG.

• I export 2 versions: with and without sky replacements, to blend flames properly in post.

• Organizing everything with script folders and batch uploads to Pixieset.

📸 Final Touches

• Some clients have specific notes (like “remove black string” or “work on my leg”) — I’ll handle that if they paid... or if I’m feeling generous 😅

• I set a cover photo, upload to their gallery, slap on the email + finished template, and boom — done.

🧠 Real Talk

“I don’t know what I’m gonna do to a photo until I start editing it. I just tweak shit until it looks good.”

• Nothing’s 100% the same — it’s all trial and error.

• The more I look at a photo, the more I see to fix — so I try not to overdo it.

• I’m just using 5 tools max in Photoshop and letting AI do 90% of the heavy lifting.
