Photoshop Lightroom
is a great program which gives you a plenty of editing tools, it's a great starting point to turn your image from a pale, flat one to a beautifully touched photo.

Get your Lightroom ready and start doing these few steps with me !

Into the " Develop " section you gonna find " Basic " Panel, then do the following ;



Rose Bullet - F2U! by x-Skeletta-x Step 1 : Exposure 

increase to give your image more light. for below photo i preferred +1.26  



ٍ Rose Bullet - F2U! by x-Skeletta-x Step 2 : Contrast 

Increase a bit, for me I don't like the black areas to be so black but I like the photo to be well contrasted. +22



Rose Bullet - F2U! by x-Skeletta-x Step 3 : Highlights

For the highlighted area. sometimes highlights kills details, so my settings is -13 .



Rose Bullet - F2U! by x-Skeletta-x Step 4 : Temp (temperature )

To add warmness (yellowish) or coldness (bluish ). I added warm tune +16



Rose Bullet - F2U! by x-Skeletta-x Step 5 : Tent

When ever I add warmness to the image I increase tent a bit because I feel it turns a bit greenish so increasing tent add a bit red tone. +24



And that's it ! We're done !
