Hello again, welcome back. Okay, let's do another image. I'm going to open up this one, it's another one we did in Snapseed. This time I'm going to use a preset to bring out the warms of the light of the carousel. I'm also going to adjust the vertical lines and skew and then work on brightness, contrast and color. This is the image after the editing.
So let's have a look at what I did to get there. First, I'm going to select a preset so definitely not black and white because I want to bring out dorms if the lights I like this one, this see one chromatic and I'm not going to down turn the effect, I'm going to leave it at 12. Usually it's a good idea to turn down the effect of a filter but in this case, it's not necessary. First step is to adjust because as you can see the vertical lines are skewed and what I would like to straighten them, so I'm selecting skew and adjust the image along the horizontal line. Beautiful, perfect. Let's see if it's straight.
Yeah, looks like it. Next up is exposure. It's a little underexposed, so I'm gonna brighten the image. Then I'm going to tone and brighten up the shadows and darken the highlights. Here we have this art flat looking image again, so we're going to contrast to make it look good again. white belt is slightly off so I add a little blue and green.
Just pinch the screen if you want to enlarge. Then I'm adding some clarity and sharpen the image. Next thing is vignette and I'm going to do it a lot, almost at its maximum to really darken the edges and keep the attention in the center of the picture. Going back and forth between current and original version, we can clearly see what vineya does, especially when the edges of the picture are bright a vignette is a great way to darken them. And to keep the eye in the frame. Then I'm going to saturation but I'm not overdoing it here because it already looks quite saturated because of the preset.
Sometimes it's good to slide into the extremes both ways to figure out which way to go. As always, the last step is saving the image both in VSCO and in my camera roll. One more editing lecture in this module, and there you're gonna discover the power of the clarity tool. See you in there and Until then, happy editing
