Outdoor Adventure: Photo Editing Lab


Edited Photo


Original Photo

To edit my photo, I first opened it in iPhoto and cropped it so that the black corners were gone. Next, I boosted the color to bring out the green. Although the center is where eyes should look first, I feel like it is difficult to focus on it since my subject is hidden behind tree branches this is why I slightly blurred the edges to bring more attention to the center of the photo.

After my edits in iPhoto, I opened the photo up in Photoshop and made additional edits. I lightened the shadows and lowered the contrast so that the picture was not so yellow looking. Then, I slightly increased the brightness to cancel out some of the contrast affects.

Once I was finished with my edits, I saved the photo as a TIFF file, but then realized that Blogger is not compatible with it. So, I changed it back to a JPEG and posted it.
