Adobe Lightroom is an incredibly simple tool for editing photos, and can easily be adapted to make almost any Forza pic look top notch with only a few short steps. It's available for a free 30-day trial from the following URL:

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?tt=P_US_FP2_LR_MN&promoid=DJGSN_P_US_FP2_LR_MN&product=photoshop_lightroom

Now, for a step by step process to Forza Photo Greatness.

Here is my original picture, taken by SnF Delta:

Image

Step 1: Take your original photo and import it into Lightroom. Click the import button and navigate to your folder.

Image

You can choose either to import an entire folder, or just one photo.

Image

Image

Step 2: Click on the Develop button.

Image

Step 3: Choose the following three presets, in the order shown, from the list on the left. The three are:

General - Auto Tone
General - Punch
Sharpen - Landscapes

Image

Step 4: If you photo looks a bit light, you can add some black level to it from the list on the left. I typically use no more than 5-10 on any photo.

Image

Step 5: Export the photo. Right click on the picture, and select Export >> Export.

Image

Then Select where to save it, etc. I typically use the default as this will place it in a subfolder of the folder it came from, with the same filename. Make sure that the quality is set to 100.

Image

Step 6: Now you can navigate to your photo and do as you wish with itm such as upload it to the web and post it.

Image

Here is my finished photo:

Image

Thanks for reading.
