Let’s begin the tutorial.
Step 1: Adjust the basic panel
Instagram Lo-Fi filter basically increases contrast and darkens the photo. We’re going to do the same in Lightroom.
Adjust the below sliders
- Shadow: -70
- Whites: +75
- Blacks: -60
This will add a nice looking high contrast look.
Time to increase the color
Adjust the below slider
- Vibrance: +25
Here’s how the photo will look. Isn’t it looking beautiful?
Step 2: Change the hue
Instagram Lo-Fi filter changes the green color to slightly blue. So, guess what? We’re going to do the same in Lightroom.
Go to HSL/Colors panel. Make sure that the HSL is selected.
Adjust the below slider
- Aqua: +55
This will change the green to blue color.
