How do I do the TikTok photo editing trick?

So, you’ve seen the videos and you want to do the TikTok photo editing trick for yourself. You may well have noticed from videos of TikTokers replicating the effect that there is absolutely no point turning the exposure and brilliance up to 100 because they get turned right back down to zero at the end, but anyway – open up the photo editor on your iPhone and dial in these settings:

  • Exposure – 100
  • Brilliance – 100
  • Highlights – minus 35
  • Shadows – minus 28
  • Contrast – minus 30
  • Brightness – minus 15
  • Black point – 10
  • Saturation – 10
  • Vibrance – 8
  • Warmth – 10
  • Tint – 39
  • Sharpness – 14
  • Definition – 23
  • Exposure – 0
  • Brilliance – 0

And that’s all there is to it! I tried the edit out for myself to see just how amazing the results were, and was actually quite impressed:
