Week 6: Workshop Task (Colour and Image correcting)

RAW Image

I took this image over the weekend whilst up on the moors with my dog and my brother. I chose this image because it’s slightly dark and there’s limited light showing through.

Edited Image

Using Photoshop I was able to edit this image and achieve the desired look I was going for. I wanted to bring out the colours in the photo and specifically the green of the grass on the moors as well being able to see my dog and brother walking a bit clearer. Firstly I used the crop tool to make the image more of a landscape rather than a portrait, then I added an adjustment layer and increased the exposure slightly as well as decreasing the contrast a little bit. The next thing I did was add another adjustment layer and increased the hue and saturation this helped to bring out the green of the grass and more of the blue from the skyline. The last thing I did to this image was remove the distractions, in this case the people that were also walking.
