In this Sunset Portrait editing guide, we’re enhancing a golden hour portrait to bring out the natural warmth, soft light, and dreamy atmosphere that make sunset photos so compelling. You’ll walk through each step to brighten the subject, warm up the tones, add flattering light to the face, and introduce subtle creative effects like a glowing hair light and a soft sun flare. The goal is to create a polished, professional-looking portrait that feels natural and glows with the light of the setting sun — all while learning how and why each adjustment makes an impact.
