Image Editing

This is specifically built for Xiaohongshu content creators who need to polish photos quickly. You get detailed guidance on the five core elements: basic adjustments (exposure, contrast), color grading with HSL and curves, retouching that stays natural, creative effects, and text overlays. The skill includes actual numeric recommendations (like vibrance +20 for skin-safe color boost, contrast +15 as a starting point) and preset strategies for maintaining a consistent aesthetic across posts. It covers the main Chinese editing apps like Xingtu and Meitu alongside Snapseed and Lightroom Mobile. The before/after framework is practical, and the ethics section on retouching without misleading is a nice touch for a platform where authenticity matters.

Image Editing (图片编辑)

Overview

Image editing is the process of enhancing, retouching, and transforming photos for Xiaohongshu content using mobile editing apps to create visually appealing, professional-looking images that attract attention and convey information effectively.

When to Use

Use when:

Preparing photos for Xiaohongshu posts
Enhancing image quality (brightness, colors, sharpness)
Creating before/after comparisons
Adding text overlays and graphics
Fixing photo issues (poor lighting, blemishes)
Creating cohesive visual style across content

Do NOT use when:

Image quality is already excellent (don't over-edit)
Creating misleading edits (false before/after)
Editing makes photo look unnatural (presets too heavy)

Core Pattern

Before (unedited photos):

❌ "Posted raw photos, dull lighting, poor colors"
❌ "No consistent style, images look amateur"
❌ "Blemishes and imperfections visible"
❌ "Photos don't match aesthetic of account"
❌ "Low engagement on image posts"
