Image Editing Techniques to Enhance Lighting and Composition
1. To start off my image effects I
changed the brightness into a higher
number and contrast of the
photograph, this lights my image
and makes my model stand out
I then used the middle dial on the
Levels window, where the Input
Levels is.
I used the Exposure option to
change the exposure, offset and
gamma correction of the image
I then used the Hue/Saturation
window to change the Hue,
Saturation, Lightness on each of the
edit options from the drop down
menu named ‘Master’
I then added more Brightness and
Contrast on the Brightness/Contrast
window
2. I selected the gradient option on the
add new adjustment layer
On the Gradient Fill I made sure the
colours I selected are green and
changed the scale percentage to be
higher and changed the angle of the
gradient.
I then on the blending options I
changed the opacity
I added another adjustment layer
and gradient fill to the image on a
yellow shade; I then blended the
image and opacity
I added another adjustment layer
and fill onto the image at a white
shade then blended the opacity into
the image
I then cropped my image in order
for the model to stand out and the
composition work
3. I changed the colour balance
options from each tone balance
option. I then used the lasso tool to
highlight the background of the
image
I selected Lens Blur and changed the
options in order to get the right
effect
