Urbis (Used image)This image wasn’t my own but I edited it to add my own slight touch to it. First of all I cropped the image as it had a black outline around it and I didn’t like it so I got rid of it. Then I selected the sky to enhance it as it was dull and I wanted it to be brighter. I used the selection tool and tried my hardest to get it a precise as possible!

I slightly turned the offset down and turned the Gamma Correction up as this enhanced the darker parts of the sky.

I then turned the Vibrance to 100% and turned the saturation up to make the colour more brighter but when the saturation gets too high it can really ruin a picture and make it not look professional. So I kept it to a minimum to get it to look great. It made the sky look more blue and that’s what I wanted.

This was the picture with most of the improvements on. It was originally a panorama shot so I cropped it so it was a nice shape and showed exactly what I wanted it to. I then put a fake sky in as the sky was horrendously angry and mad the picture look so drab and horrible.

I put the sky into the project with the original image turned the opacity down of it so I could see the sky line then ribbed away at the sky that I didn’t need. When it was complete I edited the properties so that it wasn’t really dark. I wanted it to look more natural so turned it down.

I turned the offset quite high in order to get the image to look more natural it made the blue not as bright and vibrant. Slightly adjusted the exposure as well.
