Study Notes
Introduction
- Images directly from cameras may require adjustments.
- Common issues include brightness, darkness, and blurriness.
Brightness & Contrast
- Brightness affects the overall light and dark levels in a picture.
- Increasing brightness can lead to noise, or graininess, especially in dark images.
- Contrast enhances the difference between light and dark areas, making them more noticeable.
- Excessive contrast can lead to loss of image detail.
Color Corrections
- Saturation controls the intensity of colors in an image.
- Increasing saturation makes colors appear more vivid, while decreasing it dulls them.
- Removing all saturation results in a grayscale image.
Sharpening
- Sharpening enhances the edges of objects, making the image appear clearer.
- Over-sharpening can result in unnatural edges and increased noise.
Image Noise
- Image noise causes graininess in images.
- Noise reduction tools can minimize graininess, but excessive use may lead to blurring and detail loss.
Automatic Adjustment Tools
- Automatic adjustment tools analyze images and apply corrections for improved appearance.
- Tools like Auto Fix in Pixlr X and Auto Tone, Auto Contrast, and Auto Color in Photoshop can enhance images.
- Manual adjustments can be made after using automatic features for finer control.
Other Common Corrections
- Red eye removal tools correct red eyes caused by flash.
- Touch-up tools allow for blemish and unwanted detail removal.
Lesson 4: Fixing Common Problems
- Many digital camera images require editing to perfect.
- Pixlr X and Pixlr mobile app are free tools to assist in editing.
- Brightness and contrast determine the overall light and dark levels of an image.
- Increasing brightness can cause graininess or noise in the image.
- Increasing contrast enhances the difference between dark and light areas in an image, making dark areas darker and light areas lighter.
- Excessive contrast loss can lead to a loss of detail.
- Color saturation affects an image's vibrancy and richness of color.
- Boosting saturation enhances colors, while reducing it mutes the overall color.
- Excessively boosting saturation can lead to unnatural and jarring colors.
- Sharpening enhances image clarity by sharpening edges of objects in the image.
- Over-sharpening can cause unnatural edges and an increase in image noise.
- Image noise reduction eliminates graininess in images.
- Noise reduction exceeding optimal levels can blur the image, causing a loss of detail.
- Automatic adjustment tools analyze and correct overall image appearance.
- Specific automatic tools include Auto Tone, Auto Contrast, and Auto Color.
- Red eye removal tools correct red eye caused by flash in photos.
- Touch-up tools are used to remove blemishes and unwanted details from images.
