In the Details Panel, I turned off Sharpening, also turning off Noise. For instance, I felt that the image did not require additional sharpening, especially globally. It was simple to turn off edits that I felt I did not want. This was not a huge amount, but it helped.

To reduce the slight bluishness of the photo, I reduced the Sky Toning from 10 to 7. Sky Toning seems to gradually increase the foreground and earth-bound elements so they match the color and feel of the sky more. The Strength and Color sliders were both higher. I looked at the Smart Editing Tool on the right. However, I thought this time, I might reduce the effect slightly because it looked a little bluer than I wanted. The ability to actually analyze the photo and process it accordingly separates Radiant Photo from many other photo editing software programs. Like some of the other genres of photos I used with Radiant Photo, I found that the initial Quick Edit upon import had already gotten me largely where I wanted to go already. The layout of the panels is easy to read and clean. Radiant Photo Quick Edit Screenshot of Radiant Photo just after making a few tweaks to their Quick Edit.

I don’t believe I’ve ever had Radiant Photo not brighten a photo, but then again, I am primarily working with night photos. The photo looked brighter, as is typically the case. It took about four seconds to analyze the photo on a mid-2017 27″ iMac (i7 chips, 40 G RAM). I used Radiant Photo as a plugin in Photoshop CC.

Here, I am primarily focusing on the richness of the colors. Rather than applying presets, it attempts to bring out color, detail, and light that best suits each individual photo. After that, it suggests edits that it feels is best for each photo. Radiant Photo quickly analyzes each image. It’s an easy-to-use editor that runs as stand-alone as well as a plugin. Radiant Photo states that it was created by photographers for photographers.
