Photoshop Techniques 2

Curves.

Filter - Black & White Gradient Map (plus adjusted brightness).

Hue & Saturation.

Inverted.

Review: I think all of these added effects on photoshop has made the photo look even more interesting. First of all I added 'Curves', this made the colours in the photo look deeper and more vibrant. The second effect was 'adding a filter', for this I used the black & white gradient map and adjusted the brightness a little to make the foreground look more 'eye popping'. The 3rd effect I tried out was 'Hue & Saturation', the pinky purple effect did make it look contemporary, however I thought it was a bit too vivid. The final effect I tried was 'inverting the image', the photo looks quite ghostly. I'm not too keen on the Invert effect.

Review: First I tried out Curves, this made the photo look more dramatic and it brought out more colour to the image. I secondly tried out adding a filter, this is my favourite edit. I love the 'lomo' effect added to it. It's made the photo look more vibrant! I really like how this edit has turned out. The third effect experimented with was Hue & Saturation, I think the colours go well together and it makes the photo look surreal. The final effect I tried was inverting the image, I'm not really that interested in this, it makes the photo a bit dreary and boring. I do like the deep blue of the sky just above the land however. I am happy with how these images have turned out. My overall favourite has to be the 2nd one though! I'm glad this effect has worked out well.
