Boston 1975 (Edit)

To begin my editing – I first went into Image > Adjustments > Curves. What I did in curves was pin point the middle of the line and then pin point just above up and along and just down and along. I moved the point that was above slightly and the point below slightly to give the image a more defined look on the clouds and the river. It also made the darker features in the picture more dark.

 

The next thing I did was go into Image > Adjustments > Black and White. I wanted to make my photo as previously mentioned look much older than the time it was taken in. I feel Black and White is definitely the default way to achieve this.

 

To achieve the painting style look of my Black and White edit. I used the colour tools optional when you bring up the Black and White. For each slider I changed them accordingly:

Red: -12

Yellow: 74

Greens: 29

Cyan: -20

Blues: -200

Magenta: 226

As a finished adjustment session – I feel that the photo definitely became way more of a painting than it previously once was. Really showing the darks in their finest way; whilst also making the sky a light grey to show an overcast.

 

To finally finish my photo off – I went into Image > Adjustments > Vibrance. Vibrance really helps getting the final definitions of the photo on show. I want to make it look really defined and make each object in the environment that is strongly visible to viewer and enhanced as possible. I changed the Vibrance to -21 and the Saturation to +2.
