I chose this photo because I liked the composition and wanted to see if I could correct the foggy, dull appearance using the first few tools we learned in Photoshop. I decided to use levels, vibrance, and dodge and burn. Levels enhanced the light and dark areas, bringing out the textures of the bark and giving the entire photo more dimension. I decided to use vibrance over pop because pop was too orange on the model’s skin and even though vibrance provided more color, it was a little more natural looking. Finally, I used dodge and burn. I burned the upper left corner where the photo was washed out and then dodged the model’s face alone. I felt lightening the model’s face helped your eye to go straight there. Overall I was happy with the results and eager to learn more.
Good choice of adjustments! The model stands out and the background has a nice vibrancy to it. Best thing is that the photo doesn’t look touched up
