In this first photo I did a series of modifications. First I enhanced the lightness of shadows and brought the color curve down. Then I enhanced the yellow shadows and mixed the hue a bit to blend with this effect. The last thing I did was pump up the saturation which really finished the photo. I spend a lot of time fooling around with this one, it's hard to make pictures of sun like this look good without overdoing the light. Overall I like how it enhances the sun and the reflecting light and it almost creates a fading boarder around the entire photo.

This is a picture of a painting that my sister did. I think my nephew stole my camera and accidently took this, but I figured it would be pretty cool to edit because of all of the colors and patterns. I kind of just opened it in GIMP and played around with things until I found something that looked decent. To start, I decreased the lightness significantly to pull the colors more and fix the lighting. I jacked up the saturation to 80% and pulled down the color curve a tad then finally pulled up the contrast as well. The contrast helped to make the colors pop from the photo. I really like how this one turned out. I actually glows under a blacklight and the after photo here kind of resembles what it looks like when it's glowing.

It almost doesnt look like I did much to the first one but actually there's a lot of manipulation...
ReplyDeleteI can see why you said black light, I was thinking comic book. I love it, both before and after.
ReplyDeleteI like the work you did with the color curve on the first pic your enhancement made this much easier on the eye, your second shot reminds me of my own coloring book and the kind of art we aging hippies use to have on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI love your second picture, that is great. In your first photo, I like how it brought out more of the deeper colors in the picture.
ReplyDeleteI like how you brought out the ground cover in the first photo with your enhancements and the sun is soften and doesn't appear so harsh to the eyes. The second photo very fun. Almost like a Dr. Seuss image from one of his books. Nice work!
