Here you will see several edition options, but the most important is the light.
Click on the button LIGHT.

If your picture is too dark, as in my case, then you have to pull the Shadow to the right side direction. If you have too much light on your picture, then pull it to the left side until it is necessary.

To highlight the small details in your jewelry, add a little bit of CLARITY to it. Do not add too much, otherwise it will look unreal.

Now add a little bit of sharpness to it. Again, do not exaggerate, as your picture will look very unreal.

First click on the button APPLY at the bottom of the edition options on the left side, then if you are ready with your edition, click SAVE on the right lower side of your window.

It will open this window where you can choose the file format you wish to save your picture and the image quality. I will leave the JPEG option for the file type.

I recommend you to push the image quality up to the maximum. It will give a much better resolution to your picture.
