| Mavica Digital Camera Tips: Cleaning up the colours: Levels and Curves |
||
![]() Photo #1: Original This is the original wedding wreath taken indoors with a skylight above ![]() Photo #2: Levels Setting For this adjustment I only used the Image Adjust.. Levels and dragged the middle grey triangle to the left where the largest average (highest peak) was. |
![]() Adjust Palette: I usually always start with the Levels setting before all others to get an over all adjustment. ![]() Photo #3: Curves Settings Image Adjust.. Curves gives you a little more control to specify which range of light and dark you want to change. In that way it is similar to using the "soft light" layering technique. |
![]() Adjust Curves: The curves dialogue gives you a little more control on which ranges you want to change. For greater contrast, turn the curve to a gentle "S". For less contrast, try and inverted "S". |
