1. I changed the contrast, brightness and saturation, to make
so the picture is darker. I then use the dodge tool to make
the person hair, hands and scarf light so she would stand
out, and made the area around quite dark, to make her
stand out even more. I think this went well because it
makes it clearer to see what the subject is because its
where the light goes. It makes so its not just the lines in
the photo leading you to the person but also the light does.
2. I did this by first making the brightness quite low and
the contrast quite low. Then I change the saturation so
that it had a tinge of red and set the hue so it made it
more yellowy then lower the lightness a bit. Then I used
the burner tool to make the floor darker, and used the
dodge tool to make the stairs and banister lighter, doing
it on the banister brought more colours out of it. I think
this had worked well because it makes the photo look
more interesting because of the colours. Also I think it
makes the photo more balanced.
3. Used the charcoal/chalk filter then, then use the dodge
tool on the sun to make it lighter, then decreased the
brightness and increased the contrast. I think it makes
it look quite effective but I think I prefer the original
because I like the colours in it, but the new one looks
effective in black and white to.
4. On this I just used to burn tool to make all the photo a
bit darker and then made the leaves darker with the
burn tool. I think this has worked quite well because I
think the darker colours make the photo more effective
also I think that making the foreground darker and
keeping the background light increases the balance of
the photo.
5. With this I made the shadows darker and the highlights
darker to. Also I inverted the colours which brought
the blues into the photo. I also used the burn tool to
make the centre darker. I think this has worked well
because I think that the original is a bit dull and boring,
but after brought the colours out more its makes it look
a lot more interesting because there are many different
colours in there.
