This is the original image I used. There has been no
adjustment made to it.
On this image I used Unsharpen Mask and Auto Colour. To create
the Unsharpen Mask effect I went through; filter, sharpen then unsharp mask. I
set my radius to 2.2 pixels and the amount to 150%. This added a subtle emphasis
to the eyes which create audience identification.
Using my brightness
and contrast too I put the brightness to -20 and the contrast to 15. To get to
the brightness and contrast tools I went to; image, adjustments and Brightness
and Contrast. I also used the vignetting tool. To get this I used the
elliptical tool and set my feathering to 90 pixels. I then drew a large circle
that covered the majority of my image. After I did this I went to select and
inverse, then image, adjust, contrast and brightness, then brought the
brightness down to -40. It is a subtle change but makes the subject stand out
and draws the eye into the lighter sections.
The feathering tool creates a gradiated effect and makes the darkened
area smooth and blended.
For this image I desaturated it and added light and darkness
with the dodge and burn tool. To get to the desaturation I went into image,
adjustments, desaturation. This took out all of the colour and made it back and
white. I then used the dodge and burn tools to add a bit of darkness around the
edges and a little more lightness around the eyes, this captures the audience’s
attention and draws them to the eyes.
