Overall I like to keep my edits pretty minimal unless I’ve dramatically underexposed or overexposed a photo, or I think a heavy edit to create a certain effect might look interesting. I typically brighten the shadows, brighten the whites and darken the blacks, adjust the white balance to what I remember the scene feeling like, and add a little bit of saturation and vibrance. I’ve also been experimenting lately with split-toning and how I can create a “film-like” look if I make the shadows and highlights have a tint that might not be exactly how the scene looked but creates a different feel that mimics how film photography looks to me. I always finish off my photos with adding some sharpness and a slight vignette if I think the photo might need a little more focus on the center of the photo.
