Study Notes
Image Editing Tools
- The Sponge Tool is used to adjust the color saturation or intensity of a specific area in an image, helping to bring out colors in washed-out areas or mute overly bright colors.
Adjusting Levels
- The Levels command is used to make fine adjustments to the highlights, midtones, or shadows in an image.
Blur and Sharpen Tools
- The Blur and Sharpen Tools can be used to emphasize or de-emphasize objects in a photo by applying blur or sharpen effects to specific areas.
Dodge and Burn Tools
- The Dodge and Burn Tools are used to brighten or darken specific areas of an image.
Color Balance
- Changing color balance involves altering the balance of colors in an image to achieve a desired color tone or correct color casts.
- Color balance is useful for fine-tuning the overall color appearance of an image.
Color Characteristics
- Hue refers to the actual color of an image (e.g. red, green, blue) and adjusting hue changes the overall color tint without affecting brightness or saturation.
- Saturation refers to the intensity or purity of a color, with highly saturated colors appearing vivid and intense, and desaturated colors appearing muted or washed out.
- Brightness refers to the overall lightness or darkness of an image, with increasing brightness making the image lighter, and decreasing brightness making it darker.
- Contrast refers to the difference in brightness between different parts of an image, with high contrast resulting in a visually dynamic image, and low contrast resulting in a softer appearance.
Adjusting Color
- Adjusting color involves manipulating various aspects of an image's color characteristics to achieve a desired look or effect, including changing brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, or applying color filters and adjustments.
Exposure
- Overexposure occurs when too much light is reflected into the camera, resulting in an image that is brighter than normal exposure.
- Underexposure occurs when not enough light hits the film strip or camera sensor, resulting in an image that is darker than normal exposure.
- Exposure refers to the amount of light being captured by the camera, and is the amount of light that is thought to be needed by the subject.
Test your knowledge on using the Sponge Tool for adjusting color saturation, the Levels command for making fine adjustments to highlights, midtones, and shadows, and the Blur and Sharpen tools for emphasizing specific areas in an image.
