Variations:
The brown one was originally black and white. I did pretty much the same thing with that as we did in class, creating a gradient... except I did this one from scratch. It turned out ok, but I think it would be fun to see it in a different color, perhaps blue.
For the picture with the children, I started with autotone, then adjusted the brightness/contrast, red and green levels, curves slightly, vibrance, and hue/saturation.
For the picture with the guitar, I started with autotone, then bright/contrast, rgb red green and blue levels, vibrance and sat, hue/sat, and color balance.
The table one I was most exited about because it's new (from easter, a really pretty easter table setting Mom made) and I saw that it really needed improvement. Both table pictures start from the original, but with different methods. The variations tool was nice, but some of the color adjustments that focus on different pieces of the picture weren't there and I missed them. The brighter, more vibrant one I did by hand. I started with autocolor, changed bright/contrast, rgb red green and blue levels, curves which really really helped the chairs come out from hiding, vibrance, hue/sat, color balance, and shadows/highlights.
Sounds like a lot, but really I just tinkered with whatever tools I could think of until I got something I liked. Funnily enough, the guitar pic isnt really that different from the original, and I think the table one's tooo saturated with color. But they're fun anyway. See everyone on Tuesday!
