Adobe Photoshop - how to enhance the colour of your photos with simple techniques
People who are lucky enough to afford an SLR camera are able to manipulate their photos in post-processing applications to such a degree that even the most bland and uninspiring picture can be transformed into a prize-winning shot. Many people who indulge in landscape photography use Photoshop to enhance the colours and the dynamic range of their images in order to demonstrate the beauty of the scene they have captured. Indeed, even some of the top SLRs fail to reveal the true dynamic range of situations like sunrises and sunsets, which are particularly difficult to take without appearing overly dark or too exposed.
Using the saturation tool in the Camera Raw application (which you would use for photos taken in RAW mode, for example) can often be beneficial to reveal strong colours like deep blue skies or red skies, which are hard to gauge with a high shutter speed (as this often underemphasise and decreases the temperature of the colours). Meanwhile, the luminance tool helps to strengthen the tone of the strongest colours, without overly-saturating the general picture.
On the subject of temperature, you can also use the filter option from the top menu bar to change the colour profile of an image. A photo taken with a long shutter speed will usually end up looking too ’warm’, particularly if it is taken at night from lofts north london or Canary Wharf at night. However, the filter tool can correct this problem as it allows the user to ’cool’down an image to the stage that closely resembles the true scene of the photo.
