Shoot 2 - Computer Experiment 

Experiment 1 -

Before -

After - 

When experimenting with this image I decided to do something completely different in order to show the wide range of skills I have picked up over the course of the year. The above image has been edited doing an inverse colour change, this is very different and shows an unrealistic version of the image. However I do think this is very effective and interesting in terms of its uniqueness. 

Editing process - 

The first step to this process was to select the areas that I wanted to keep in colour. I decided that as my sister has green eyes and was wearing a green jumper I would select these as my main areas. Once I had selected these areas I pressed inverse which ensures that when sung the black and white tool it would  be the rest of the image changed not the area I selected. Once this was done I used the black and white tool to change it to black and white.

Once I had done this the green areas that I selected weren't very obvious and didn't stand out very much therefore I decided to adjust them. I done this by using the hue/saturation tool and moving it almost all the way up the spectrum towards the pink end which made the green areas go a turquoise colour, this made them very bold and saturated. I really like the outcome of this edit as I think it is pleasing on the eye, unique and very interesting.

Before

After - 

The image above I have edited to make it look more realistic and natural. As you can tell the original image had a slight blue tint to it which I have corrected so that it looks a normal colour. This is aver simple edit however it has massively improved the overall look of the image. 

Editing process - 

The first thing I done when going about editing this image was used the 'colour balance' tool. Using this tool I manage to balance out the blue tint that was on the original image form the lighting. To do this I moved the top bar towards red, away from cyan which was the colour of the tint, therefore returning the image back to a normal state. This slight and simple movement massively improved my image without having to do much. 

The second adjustment I made as part of the editing process was use the 'hue/saturation' tool to bring some life back into the dull image. From changing the colour balance the image became bleak and very boring therefore needed some more saturation for the colours to stand out. By moving the saturation bar up to +25 it meant that the image became more interesting and overall improved. I think this editing process turned out really well despite it being quite simple it made a lot of difference to the original image.
