I began by using Auto tone to enhance the color and reduce the bland look of the photograph. I then increased the vibrance to bring out the bright reds and greens. Next, I used the Magnetic lasso tool to separate the rose petals from the background, brightening the rose and removing shadows. I converted the background to black and white to contrast it from the bright rose. Finally, I cropped the image to better follow compositional rules like thirds.

1. When editing this photograph in Photoshop I began by firstly bring up the tone of the picture
by simply using Auto tone which slightly helped enhance the colour and gave it less of a bland
look.
I adjusted the vibrance to a higher level which really brought out all of the bright Red’s and
greens in the photograph.

2. In Photoshop I used the Magnetic lasso tool to separate the the rose petals from the rest of the
image. I brought up the levels of red in the rose and also brightened the image getting rid of the
dark shadows.
I took the background and gave it a black and white filter separating it from the bright rose and
giving it a contrasting finnish.

3. I began by using the lasso tool to cut the closest petals from the image so I could separate them
from the background giving the image a 3d effect.
I gave the background a warm photo filter giving it a relaxed natural look. For the closest two petals
I used a slight drop shadow to put further focus on that element of the photo.

4. For this photograph I used a simple crop feature to give the image a better composed and
structured frame, including examples such as the rule of thirds.
