I found the Dodge & Burn effects very helpful in enhancing photos. I used these effects to change my original photo so slightly but certainly enhanced the overall appearance of the photo. Changing the hue slightly along with the temperature helped create a warmer photo along with making the using the dodge & burn effects to bring out the camo in the dresses and tie, vest.
Before:
Filtered photos were so much fun! What an amazing tool to create fun images and just playing with the differnt filters and what they would do to the photos was making me laugh...(that was before computer issues).
Here is the original of a family photo.
Now the filtered version...I thought this was fun I used the filter gallery and chose the photocopy option and changed the details to 15 and increased the darkness to 26, which really brought out the lines.
Second filtered photo was one of the fruit I took with the aperture assignment
With the filtered gallery again, I chose the Brushed Strokes options and chose the accented edges - changes the edges to 4 and the Edge Brightness to 28 and increased the smoothness to 11. I think that was so cool in that it created an almost 3D image of the photo.
I really liked your dodge and burn photo. Their faces were fairly dark in the original and the dodge tool definitely brightened them up! Great job on your filters as well. The family photo looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe prom photo is an excellent use of dodging to bring up the lights. This is a subtle use and it worked well. The filtered one of you and your family is fun, it'd make a great card.
ReplyDeleteYour second photo came out extremely well. It looks like a drawing and filters usually do not show that much clarity, but yours did!
ReplyDeleteYour fruits look pleasantly lightened and sharpened.
And now, working backwards, the first photo is given a much warmer feel now that you have added some more orange to the photo.

You did a really nice job with the first photo. You did just the right amount of dodging and it brings out the details of the photo.
