The author resized an image to avoid pixelation when displayed on a website. They then converted the image to black and white to better showcase the shadows and contrast, adjusting color levels and contrast within the black and white window to optimize quality. The final edited black and white image showed clear contrast between shadows, highlights, and colors, giving it a sense of place and making it look dated, unique, and special.

2. Here is the Image ‘People’
The colors are contrasting,
Vivid, and interesting.
The shadows across the
image will be good to edit
and manipulate using
different tools.

3. I found that the image was too small, and I did not want the image to appear
Pixelated on the website, as this would look unproffessional. To do this, I clicked
Image—Resize—Image Size.

4. I increased the width and height of the image, and the pixel dimensions automatically
Increased according to the scale.

5. I then thought to convert the image to Black and White, as the shadows and contrast
Would show clearly. To do this, I went to Enhance—Convert to Black and White

6. Within the Black and White window, I selected Portrait Style, and adjusted the color
Levels and contrast in order to get the optimum highest quality black and white
Image.

7. Here is the final edited image.
The black and white effect of the
image has worked very well, as
the contrast between the colors,
and the shadows and highlights show
clearly on the photo, and give the
image a sense of place.
The black and white effect also makes
the image look dated, unique and
special.
