Making Photos POP

4/30/10

-These are all photos I took and edited them to make the more vibrant, colorful, and more interesting.

This will be a before and after kind of deal.

Blur overlay

This is the photo before anything was applied to it. I took like outside after it rained. As you can see the car has a shadow in the small puddle. I like how this photo almost looks like a real car. This is the original photo.

This is the picture after the blur overlay took place. I really like how the colors pop in this photo. I also like the contrast with the car, the tin, and the grass in the background.

This is the photo taken of the sunset on fowler lake. This is the before picture.

This is the photo after the blur overlay took place. I really like this photo just because the colors. They are so dramatic! I also like the contrast with the houses and trees in the background.

Filter in the background!

This is the photo before anything was applied to it. I took this right before it started raining so the lighting is cloudy-ish. I like how crisp the clock is against that neutral background.

This is the picture after the filter was applied in the background. As you can see the clock looks like same but the background got changed dramitcally. I chose the water filter in the background because it was just about to rain when i took this. I also chose the light color for contrast.

This is the picture before anything was applied to it. I was under incandescent lighting and tried to get the shadow effect which i think worked. This is the before picture.

This is the photo after i applied the glowing filter in the background. The main object of the photo again, is still normal and in focus, while the background became extremely dark. I chose this background because i feel like contrast adds alot of balance in digital photography.

Neon glow filter

This is a picture of the badge on the back of my car. This is the before picture.

This is the picture after i got done editing it. I first of all cropped the photo to focus more on the badge. The filter was the neon glow filter. I chose the color to be a orangey, kind of like the color of my car. I then put a layer setting called difference on. This made the photo look almost negative with the contrasting teal color.. I reall like the way this came out.

This is a photo I took of a sunset on Mcmahon road. This is the before picture.

This is the photo after i got done editing it. As you can see the colors are very dramatic and pop extremely well. With this photo i did the neon glow filter with a reddish background. I then put the layer setting as color burn. This made the reds and oranges pop agains the back background so well.

Easy blur filter

This a photo of a leaf that was in my driveway. I took it up close to keep the leaf more in focus as well as the main attention grabber. This is the original photo

This is the photo after the easy blur filter was put on. The ground right in front is a little bit more out of focus. The trees in the background are also softer and have less detail. I also made thecolor more intense as well as darkened the picture a bit.

This photo is of my friend katie looking out onto the sunset. I took this with katie on the right side more to satisfy the rule of thirds. This is the before picture

This is the photo after i put the easy blur feature on. As you can see katie has softer edges which makes the photo more blendable. I also brighten the photo and made the saturation higher to help the colors pop.
