4. 3) Apply a filter, makes the overall image brighter
and more saturated (colours jump out more)
5. 4)Adjust the ‘contrast’ of the image to 91, creates a more drastic
difference between the variety of colours and tones. (makes the darker
tones pop out but still compliments the lighter tones).
6. 5) Adjust the highlights from 0 to 20, helps to define facial features and highlight the
colour of the eyes and lips, drawing the viewers attention to the bright colours.
7. 6) Adjust the original ‘shadow’ setting of 15 to -14. helps to define leg
structure and juxtaposed colours of the leather jacket against the light
skin tones.
8. 7) Adjust the original ‘temperature’ setting of 0 to -17. Setting the temperature setting to a
negative number creates a slight blue tint to the image opposed to the slightly more orange
tint when moving the dial to positive numbers. The blue tint works effectively with the
image and the article as the article is fairly dramatic and sad, the colour blue is connoted
with more mellow and sad emotions (a cold colour) compared to the happier warmer
emotions that are connoted with the colour orange.
9. 8) Adjust the ‘brightness’ setting from 0 to 27. Enhancing the brightness
helps to highlight facial features and make it more appealing to the eye
as it stands out against the background.
10. 9) Adjust the ‘tint’ setting from 0 to 18. Applying a more enhanced tint
will again enhance the richness and variety of the colours, giving them
more depth.
11. 10) Adjust the original ‘saturation’ setting from 0 to 60 as again it brings
even more richness into the image and almost makes the face pop out
of the page more.
12. 11) Use colour boost on the eyes and lips to make both brighter, sharp
blue draws the eye to it. Finished image.
