Photograph Editing II

by Lee - August 15, 2020

We are all busy people even in time of a pandemic and the summer has gotten away from us, so, the August blog is just a quick go at editing some photos from the community.  If you do want more information on exactly how the edits were done do contact us.

 

Unedited Photos

Amy's edits were all carried out in Adobe Photoshop Express

Garnett edited in Lightroom and Photoshop,

Kris did all of her edits on her iPad using the Apple resident photo editor and the Hipstamatic app. Hipstamatic has been around for a good while.  It has lots of in-app filters for purchase.

I am a big fan of sunflowers.  They always make me think bright, cheerful, happy. 
I cropped the photo to move the subject closer to the right third of the frame and changed the aspect ratio to 4:5. 
I then used Hipstamatic’s Alfred Infrared film and Chivas lens to alter the background color to reflect the happiness that I feel when seeing sunflowers.

Upped the shadows, whites, texture, clarity, dehaze and vibrance.

There is so much to look at in this image.  I am drawn to all of the textured. 
I cropped slightly and changed the aspect ration to 4:5. 
I wanted the viewer to be pulled through the image to the church.  
I also increased the saturation, contrast, and vibrance. 
I also cooled it slightly to add some blue to the sky and water.

 

JA-LeeEdit

Lee's Edit
Was going for an Autumn / Fall feel
Cropped so spire of church was on the third, and cloned out the red and white buoy's.
Changed the temp to warmer
Upped the exposure, contrast, shadows, whites, clarity and Vibrance
Lower the highlights and blacks
Added a graduated filter to the sky, changing the hue, upping the temp and tint and lowing the contrast


 

So there you have it, the same photos all have different feels to them, so it depends what you are going for to the look that you want, a lot is possible, editing photos on a regular basis does help you get your own style.
