I followed simple steps in Adobe to create a vibrant photograph
I find a little adjustment always brings out the best in a photograph & it helps a picture to show its full Beauty.
Now pictures can be made bright and colorful in many different ways & apps can really make it simple, but sadly One-touch bars usually give overexposed effects. While manual navigation gives the liberation to pick colors and create more depth to the photographs.
So usually, when I’m in a rush, I correct my images in apps, and it’s simple and easy to one-step solutions in mobile apps. But if I feel I need to give the image a custom correction, then I always work in Photoshop. And it never makes me feel bored or exhausted. Because of the kind of magic Photoshop can provide like nothing else. So this time I captured this photo & the model in the photo is very Beautiful (by the way) & I wanted to create some areas bright & some areas dark and make the color vibrant and I didn’t want to make it really hard for me as well, so I picked the most simple technique in Photoshop, by the way, PS2020 is released & out and I’m currently using it for all my projects.
A shortcut on how I adjusted this photo is just like this –
Brightness & Contrast. In the editing world, Brightness/Contrast is common, or should I say universal (: D) anyway, so this adjustment bar balances over underexposed pictures. (But sometimes I stare at my project for hours just to understand where to (stop…) And pretty much these days I load a preferred number in the dialog box and say”It Looks Perfect” and stop there -_- “Because Done is always better than perfect” (Thums Up!) in this photo I decreased the brightness to about -35 & contrast to +30
Anyway, next is –
Hue & Saturation – my favorite, by the way, For some reason when the color changes by moving the sliders from left to right, It seems the picture is bursting out of joy, and the subject is coming to life. So anyway in this picture, I wanted the red to pop a bit & lightness a little bit lower.
the next adjustment layer I managed was –
Curves – I hear a lot of photographers say this adjustment is their favorite. But at the very beginning of my PS journey, I always felt it was tough to work on Curves. After a few experiments, it became understandable. But still, have to learn more. What I found when I Googled about Curves – “This tool boosts contrast and color by dragging the anchor point up or down on the Curve line to lighten or darken tones.” By dragging the point very carefully I adjusted the layer
Alright, so that’s pretty much how I corrected the image. Hopefully, PS2020 can assist us with more amazing work in the future.
