Project 1 Sangeeta

Which tool do I prefer? I prefer to use Curves Command because it gives better features like graph and brightness points helped to improve the image.
For this image I used both Curves and Levels. I started with curves and then moved to Levels to fix the midtones and then again used graphs to make changes to the image. Second time I put some brightness point on the graph and tried to adjust the blues.


2. For the second problem I used the photo that my husband took of Bosphorus River in Istanbul, Turkey. Even on a clear day the sky looked little pink. I thought if I can increase the shade of blue sky will look better. Houses definitely look less dull and sky is more blue, but it changed the color of water. Over all picture is little bit brighter.

5. There are few tools that I enjoy working with. My favorites are Curves, Shadow and Highlights, and Hue and Saturation.

Hue and Saturations helps with the intensity of the color. I used this tool for a picture that was taken in a indoors, so the resulting picture was very dark and colors were hardly visible. Hue and Saturations has many color options and along with the tools like Brightness and Contrast helped me to bring the concrete colors of the pillars.

The other tool I like is Curves. I used this with Histograms. Curves give a luminous graph and luminous curve, I was able to put points on the luminous curve and move them to make the picture bright and dark.

Shadow and highlight is another wonderful tool. It can come really handy if there is picture that has trouble with light and you cannot see the actual colors of the image. Adjustment to Shadows can decrease the darkness and Highlights can adjust the light. Tonal width is a good tool to control the amount of brightness we need to improve the image.
