Editing Techniques

I had a lecture with my tutor Richard Peregine who showed us some editing techniques using photo shoot. He spoke about the different tools that photoshop had to offer. Below are some examples

• Cropping (Use to improve composition or reformatting)
• Levels (For images brightness, shadows and highlights)
• Layers ( So actions can be separated for constructing)
• Curves ( To control contrast)
• Black and white conversion (Turn images to black and white)
• White Balance ( To create or remove bias)
• Resize (To resize an image when exporting)
• Text (Add text to your image)
• Hue/Saturation (brighten or dim certain colours of the image)
• Dodging and burning (to increase or decrease certain areas on the image)
• Cloning Tool (to copy and past a section on the image
• Border (to give the image a border)

There are many more tools that can be used in photoshop but these are some examples and some tools that are used often. Below are examples of what effect the different brushes can do when using black and white conversion, cloning, text, borders and cropping on image
