Fixing those summer snapshots
I have to appoligize to my readers for not posting yesterday. I recently pick up a new contract with a new real estate company and have been rather busy. But I have stoped what I’m doing to give you a few tips on how to touch up those summer photos. With the end of school there are a lot of snapshots taken that need touched up. And probably scrap books to be made. But you find that a lot of the pictures you have you don’t want to use because the colors just aren’t right. If you spent time at the beach and there are some of those photos with sun burnt faces you can take some of the redness from the photo with a little color enhancement. The quickest fix is using your hue / saturation filter. Open your program and the photos you want to fix.
• Choose your image adjustments menu and choose Hue /Saturation.
• In the drop down box you’ll want to choose the red color.
• Next move the slider of the hue to the usually to the right and reduce the reds until you have a desirable color.
• Choose the slider of the saturation and move it to the usually to the left and reduce the skin tones until they look more natural.
• Then you can apply a cooling filter to get an even more natural look. A I did in the photos below.
You can also use this technique to increase the blues of the sky, make the grass greener. Play around with your pictures and you will be surprised at how easy these simple adjustments are.
