- Step 10 – Lighten Up
Step 1 - Defog
Digital cameras tend to make your photos look fuzzy, or foggy, like they have a film over them. This action removes that fogginess and prepares the way for the rest of the steps below.
Step 2 - Boost
This action adds the pop by adding more contrast and bringing in more details. All of these steps may be adjusted by changing the applied amount with the opacity slider. Set it to your liking before moving to the next step.
Use the mask to paint in areas where the colors may be to strong or adjust the opacity slider to adjust the whole effect.
Step 3 - Enhance Tones
Just as the name implies. This is all about enhancing the tonal range of the image. Boosting mid-tones and balancing the highlights and shadow areas of the image.
Use the mask to paint in areas where the colors may be to strong or adjust the opacity slider to adjust the whole effect.
Step 4 - Vibrance Snap
This is the color pop. Use the mask to selectively show and hide the colors you want to reveal. The opacity slider will affect the amount of saturation or color intensity.
Step 5 - Beautify
This is the softening effect. Using a slight blur and the soft blend mode creates a soft look.
Use the mask to paint in areas where the colors may be to strong or adjust the opacity slider to adjust the whole effect.
Step 6 - Eye Popper
Time to pop those eyes. Eyes are the windows to a person’s soul, and we want those windows to be bright…but not over done. With white as your foreground color and using a soft-edged brush began to paint on the mask of the Eye Popper layer the iris of the eye. This will brighten the eyes. Use the opacity slider to control the amount.
Use the mask to paint in areas where the colors may be to strong or adjust the opacity slider to adjust the whole effect.
Step 7 - Dark Adjust
With all the popping and enhancing, sometimes the colors especially in the shadows and some of the mid-tones can be overdone. This action brings back some of those dark colors.
Use the mask to paint in areas where the colors may be to strong or adjust the opacity slider to adjust the whole effect.
*Step 8 - Burn Edges
This is just a darkening vignette action. We want the focus of our viewer’s eye to be on the lightest part of the image, which in portrait photography, is our subject. We can control that by creating more contrast especially around the edges.
Use the mask to paint in areas where the colors may be to strong or adjust the opacity slider to adjust the whole effect.
*Optional
Step 9 - Final Sharpen
Now for our final sharpening. Again, use the opacity slider to control the amount of sharpening you want to apply on your image.
Use the mask to paint in areas where the colors may be to strong or adjust the opacity slider to adjust the whole effect.
Step 10 - Lighten Up
Lastly, If your image seems still a little dark, run this action to again brighten up the mid and highlight tones.
Use the mask to paint in areas where the colors may be to strong or adjust the opacity slider to adjust the whole effect.
