This week we played with color and light adjustments. Here is a progression of adjustments that I made to a few of my photos.
How'd I do it?
Auto Tone, Image Adjust Color Balance--added blue and cyan to the mid tones and shadows and added yellow to the highlights. At this point the vignetting from my camera became more obvious and was giving a bit of a fish-eyed look, so I also used the clone stamp in the upper corners to remove some of the more obvious vignetting parts.
How'd I do it?
Selection tool, Image Adjust Hue Saturation--decreased the saturation of the background to make my pretty corn snake 'pop' against the background. I also used the smudge tool to remove some of the more obvious sharp selection tool lines.
I thought this picture could use some cheering up, so I hyper-intensified the contrast, color saturation, and color balance.
I love the playground shot! It looks like so much more fun with the colors so bright and vibrant. I like all of the examples you gave of the hand and what you can do with the different tools. Great work!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite amazing to see the variations that can come from one photo. The hand in particular really stood out to me - the first photo I never would have realized the hand had blue in it. I think my favorit hand photo is the second one where the back ground is a bit warmer and yet the blue stands out.
