This document provides 10 edits made to landscape photographs of Salford Quays. The edits include adjusting colors, contrasts, brightness, saturation and vibrance. Selective coloring and effects like posturize, gradient maps, light and shadow, desaturate, and threshold are used to stylize the images and make subjects like buildings and bridges stand out. The overall goal is to enhance the aesthetics and visual impact of the original photos.
2. 1st Edit
I have mad adjustments to this picture, each one of the corners have
been faded to create more focus on the landscape image its self, I have
adjusted the contract within the picture so make it look more attractive
for example like a nice blue for the sky, and the whole building with more
interesting colours.
This is making sure the perspective of the picture is
perfect and straight also every pixel of the picture is in
contrast with every other
3. 2nd Edit
-In this edit I have upped the vibrance and saturation so the picture
looks more effective and the colours stand out, the sun that’s bouncing
of the building as bin created to look brighter and more powerful than it
actually is.
As well as the other adjustments above I have mainly focused on
brightness and contrast on this one so it almost looks like its bin
coloured in with bright pastels. What is also effective with this edit
everything within the picture stands out and makes the picture look
beautiful.
4. 3rd Edit
For this edit I used selective colour witch lets me
pic certain individual things within the landscape
picture, make some of things for example the
houses change the colour of them to like a
crimson red, make the water and sky dark blue so
its like a perfect time to take the picture and both
are reflecting of each other basically turning a
good looking picture even better
5. 4th Edit
These 2 edits on the side
are selective colour and
matching colour to make
the arch on the bridge stand
out also the 2nd effect
below has changed the
colour of the arch to like a
gold colour and eventually
with both effects colliding
the arch on the bridge
stands out because that’s
the main attraction about
the bridge .
6. 5th Edit
The picture above is a landscape picture of the side of the
lowery, the one below had been edited by creating the
effect posturize were you can basically make it look cartoon
almost. You can go to extreme lengths which is what iv done
so its just like full on cartoon or you can use it selectively
and make a few things look abnormal. I Think this edit
works because the salmon pink on the main building looks
effective and the wall looks more old fashioned which is
what the lowerys theme is .
7. 6th Edit
This image is the front of the
lowery mall and what I have
basically done to edit it is gone on
image/adjustments/gradient
maps which basically filters the
whole picture in to like a 2/3 ratio
content making obviously the
front look completely different.
Think the only problem with this
edit is that the colours are a bit
dark.
8. 7th Edit
On this edit I focused on light and shadow with it being a shiny
building, the effect works well because it still has shiny content were
the gold bits are at the bottom but has been put into a perspective
were the building seems like its in a filter also the highlight has been
put up to 100 per cent so looks completely different.
9. 8th Edit
The actual image (top left) looks very dull so what I did was went on DR
toning and edited radius, strength, gamma, exposure, detail, shadow,
highlight, vibrance and saturation all combined to create a bright sky ,
dark patches between the gaps of the building so it stands out more
and the building looking more lighter so it stands out.
10. 9th Edit
The effect I used on this picture is Desaturate
basically its makes all colour turn black and white
hence de-saturate, to sort of have that old fashioned
look to it or old park style.
11. 10th edit
Iv added this effeect to tis because it makes the picture look
artistic, the effect I have applied is called threshold which is
basically an effect which turns the picture black and white
and you can make certain degrees of it more black than white
or the other way round .
