Madness Returns (Edit)

The first thing I did to this edit was crop out the debris that cluttered the bottom right of the photo. I felt that this was dead space and was needed to get rid of before I begin the edit.

 

Once I had cropped the photo – I went onto changing the Vibrance of the photo. Much like my previous edit – I wanted to set the tone of the edit before making any big changes. In the Vibrance menu, I adjusted the Vibrance to +100 and the Saturation -64.

 

Next I went into the curves tool menu, as I wanted to make the photo look more daunting and evil that it did. I only, ever-so-slightly changed the line on curves. Literally marking a point along the line just about the original marking and adjusting up.

 

Next I decided to add more colour to this photo. The grey and dark mid-tones that plagued the photo from the previous adjustments were not enough to give the impression that Hannah is walking into madness. So I decided to add a Photo Filter under the name of Underwater. It added a unsettling and evil tone to the photo. The density of the filter was adjusted to 45%.

 

Next I went into the Hue/Saturation menu to help add more life and colour to the filter I had just applied. I liked the original blue it gave the photo but my original edit was filled with purple, so I had to stay true to the other photo and begin making the colour more purple like. What I did was adjust the Hue to -42 and it gave a more darker and more blending blue.

 

Then I re-visited the curves to and adjusted the line to make the blue colour more purple. By adjusting the line downwards I could create this colour, light purple.

 

Now to make the the sky a true purple. I went into the Colour Balance menu and adjusted the different scales to the follow:

Cyan/Red +1 (More Red)

Magenta/Green +20 (More Green)

Yellow/Blue +69 (More Blue)

 

For the final adjustment – I re-visited the curves tool one last time and adjusted the line slightly upwards to make the ground more darker and make the sky stand out more than it did previous.
