I took this photo while out for a walk down a local river, but I didn't like how dark it came out. I decided to correct this, and the colours in Photoshop CS4 by doing the following:
- Opened in Photoshop CS4
- Auto toned it
- Made it slightly lighter by uping the levels and curves
- Increased saturation to +26
- Went to color balance and increased the green to +8 to bring out the grass even more
- Dodged some of the whites and grass on midtones 37% exposure
- Burned some of the darks on 13% midtones exposure
- Increased contrast by 8
- Saved a larger edited JPEG version
- Renamed to "cow"
- Saved another "cow_smaller" version at 72DPI for my blog
This is how it came out:
