Edit my Image #2

Post by Janice Freeman »

I took this shot on a wet rainy misty day. What I would like to achieve is to retain the somewhat misty/mysterious effect but for the picture not be as flat as it is. Composition may not be right but it the processing I am interested in.

1. Curves adjustment layer - add an 'S' Curve for added contrast
2. Hue/Saturation adjustment layer - increase Cyan by 15%
3. Hue/Saturation adjustment layer - increase Blue by 10%
4. Slight crop to fill the frame more
5. Add a touch of Unsharp Mask for uploading to the web
