Simple photo edits with Photoshop

I call photoshop a magic tool. We can create wonders with this brilliant application. I will mostly be putting some of the simple yet useful edits with photoshop.

Often after clicking we discover that the photos do not have perfect blend of light. This often result in dark photos which sometimes ruin our subject. Not to worry Photoshop can help you to a great extent here, just follow the steps and you are good to go :)

1) Open your picture in photoshop

2) First check out with brightness and contrast option from image>Adjustment>Brightness/contrast.

My values here are B+27 & C-19

3) Brightness contrast often doesnt help now is the time to do some magic. Click on Image>Adjustments>Curves

4) Adjust the curve settings as per your needs. Too much of light might ruin your picture so be careful while you adjust the curve from top.

Output 74, Input 46

5) You will now see lot of difference in the picture.

6) Keep playing with the curve till you get a desired result. But one wrong move and your picture might go bad. Ctrl+Alt+Z is the mantra you must remember :).

Hope this one helped you get a bright and shiny picture :)
Happy editing!

Welcome to my blog

Its been a long long time that I am into this profession.
I always wanted to be somewhere where creativity matters the most so here I am working as a Graphic designer. Though am not good in drawing on paper but surely have a good visualization (my belief ofcourse :P)

I love colors. Beautiful things often attracts me may that be a small little flower or a big creative piece on the wall.. it can basically be any beautiful thing. I strongly believe in presentation, even if lot of people do not agree it does make a difference. Someone rightly said “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”. I deeply appreciate things which are presented neatly, beautifully and gracefully.

Here I will mostly be speaking about my work , tools I use or anything new that I have designed. Not to forget also about newly discovered side of me :).

Photography.. New side of me :D
Recently say about 9-10 months now I have ventured into photography. I have a DSLR, my husband got it for him as he often visit near by places with his friends on weekends. But now its me who is using it the most :P.
I have considered many subjects under photography, but realized that Birds are the most fascinating things to capture. Atleast for me I love clicking birds. We usually don’t get to see birds so closely. There are many new species about which I was not even aware until I got into this.

Being an amateur photographer I still have to explore much more. As a human being if we have something we always feel that urge to have some more so I wanted to have a zoom lens since bird being my favourite subject. We cannot capture birds with a normal kit lens which has a lower range and is not apt for the objects which are not close. Hence I got myself 70-300mm lens, 70-300 is a range which can be covered while taking photos.
