Color Corrections using JASC Paintshop Pro 7
I have often talked of color corrections and editing photos using Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. Some of my readers don’t have these programs and they use Jasc Paintshop. (Corel Corporation now owns Jasc) The photo I have here is actually taken with a regular 35mm film and scanned into the computer. As you can see its looks kind of blueish and the cactus does not stand out. There were several corrections I made to this photo.
First I went to colors >adjust> Hue/Saturation. Instead of staying on the master I selected red and adjusted the saturation to 10 and greens on 15. This made the red of the flowers pop and brought out the red tones of the wood in the cabin. The greens brought out the colors of the green in the cactus.
Next I selected effects > enhance photo > auto color balance. Here I set the strength on 41 and the temperature on warm 5670 this took away the hazy look that the photo had.
There were little fine lines on the image from the scanner so I then choose effects > noise > edge preserving and set it at 25 this removed the noticeable lines. And that is it!
