The document summarizes editing an image of the Nubra Glacier in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It was converted to black and white to improve the shadows and highlights since the color palette was limited. The vivid landscape mode was selected and intensity adjusted until satisfied with the output. Contrast was lessened slightly and then increased along with decreasing brightness to make the highlights and shadows more visible without overexposing the image. The black and white gives a timeless effect, capturing the vastness of the glacier against the contrast of black and white.
