Colour correcting.....


This is a really useful tool to learn. With it you are able to correct small parts of the image not just the whole thing.


looking at this image you can tell that it has a definite blue/pink colour cast so.. here is my attempt at correcting it .........


To start i added a layer mask to the image so i could easily chose the sections of the picture i needed to correct. I coloured in black the areas i has chosen. i could then use the curves tool to change the levels of colour in the picture, i can also do the same with the hue and saturation tool.

Vingetting 

This is a really clever tool and can be used to create nice effects on your images.

I again began with a layer mask, i then chose a custom shape and coloured black onto the mask to cut out the shape. i then used a fill colour for the back ground and used the opacity slider to change the transparency of the colour.

Layers.

I really like his technique, its also quite easy to create. Its made by beginning with a background of text that is copies in layers on top of each other i you then use the opacity slider to change the transparency of the text
