This is my edit of my image Lost Balloons. To achieve this effect, what I first did to this image was use the crop tool to crop out any unnecessary space that was being wasted. This made the image more tidier in my eyes.
I then selected the area around the balloons by using the magic wand tool, and from the adjustment menu I desaturated the whole of the background. This made the bright balloons stand out on the dark background.
While the background was then selected by the magic wand tool I adjust the colour balance of the image. This created the blue, cold colour over the background, and made it a lot more interesting than black and white. What i adjusted the Colour balance to was Cyan -50, Magenta 15 and Yellow 0.
The final step to my edit was changing the balloons from red to yellow, I thought that the yellow stood out more than the red. To do this is firstly highlight the balloons with the magic want tool and then went into Hue and Saturation, I adjust the Hue to 47, Saturation to 49 and left the lightness on 0.
Edited photo of the flood at Wrangle marsh. When editing this photograph I used Adobe CS6 Photoshop. The first step taken when editing was to add a guide. This was to give me a straight line to a line my horizon with. When a lining my horizon I used the crop tool and slightly rotated the image. Once I was happy with the angle I deleted the guide. Secondly I adjusted the brightness and contrast until I gained an effect I was happy with. The brightness ended up as -21 and the contrast as 61. Thirdly as there was a lot of dark, dead space at the bottom I cropped the photo to a size I was happy with. As I wanted the photo to have a warmer appearance I altered the levels. I changed the input levels to 13, 1.08 & 246. The final step I took when editing this photo was to remove a bird that was flying in the distance. To do this I used the spot healing brush. This is my final outcome.
