Assignment 6: Landscapes and Nature |

This is the after image. First, in RAW editor, I boosted the contrast, sharpness, and vibrancy. A global edit is that I cropped this image to cut out some of the sky and the sand that I felt did not add much to the picture. After that, I needed to work on the haziness of the image that really dulled the pictures. I applied a color balance layer to boost the blues, which I only applied to the sky area. This made the different shades of blue in the background visible, such as the dark clouds in the sky. |
Fixing the colors in the sky was my first local edit. Secondly, I applied a tone curve layer to boost the contrast and color saturation. However, this made the actual rock formation's colors look off from what I intended (the golden color present from the evening sun). Thus, I only applied the tone curve to the sand and the ocean. This had the nice effect of making the rock formation's reflection in the sand much more vibrant. |
Jennifer: great job boosting the impact of this photo |
