The first thing I did for this edit was I got rid of the cloud in the sky. I did this by using the spot removal button. I used the adjustment brush to clarify the pillars, making them more distinctive. I then experimented with the white and black clipping, to see how using this would highlight certain aspects of my image. I like this photo because you can clearly see the pillars and I do like the fact that the image looks over exposed, compared to the edit below which has a lot more of a softer feel.
Once I'd exported the photo above, I then wanted to use the same image but edit it differently. I used the adjustment brush to bring down the colour of the saturation in the sky, making the pillars stand out without having to enhance them.
For this edit, I decreased the saturation to -100. I then used the adjustment brush to increase the saturation and clarity on certain parts of the picture; the shop name, the boxes, the outline of the shop. I have used the same style of editing that I did with my pre-shoot edits, as I think it makes certain aspects of the photo more clear because they stand out as they are the only parts that are in colour. This links back to one of the photographers that I looked at at the beginning of this project.
I decreased the vibrance to -100 and the only colour that was really left was the yellow of the painted line. I then used the adjustment brush to minus the saturation that was left on other areas of the image apart from the line (e.g. the train). I experimented with increasing the brightness, black clipping and fill light. By doing this, I created a sort of bright area in the middle, compared to the foreground which is slightly darker.
I decided to make another edit of this photo because as much as I like the first edit, I thought I've done rather a lot of edits where only certain things are coloured. So, for this edit, the first thing I did was crop the photo. I then used the spot removal tool to get rid of the no smoking sign. I used the tone curve to change the light, dark and shadow tones. I then increased the clarity and the vibrance, but made the saturation a lower amount. Then I used the contrast tool and increased to +100 to add more colour to it.
I used the spot removal tool to cut out some things that were on the floor. I then used the adjustment brush to increased the clarification to the shop signs. I then increased the saturation and the vibrance which increases the colours.
The first thing I edited in this image was that I cropped the imaged and changed the angle of it. I then used the adjustment brush to make the signs of the shops more clear. I used the tone curve to make the foreground darker so the viewers eyes would travel down the leading line of the street and end up at the burger restaurant which is bright.
I thought this photo was a lot different to all my other images so I decided to edit it. I increased the clarity of the whole image to +100 because I wanted to get each of the square really clear and sharp. I then increased the vibrance to +59 to inject more colour into the photo. I increased the black clipping to +56, so you are able to see the shadows in some of the squares. Then I increased the fill light to +9 so that the whole image wasn't too dark.
I used the tone curve to increase the brightness of the bottom left of the corner, as it was rather dark in the original photograph. I then increased the vibrance to +48 of the entire image to get a bit more colour but not too much as that would make the walls too yellow. Using the adjustment brush, I increased the clarity of the three shop signs that are hanging down, and for the 'Printing & Special Gifts' sign, I also increased the saturation a little, to make it stand out more.
For this image, I cropped it slightly to get rid of a line of another building that was at the bottom. I then increased the clarity of the whole photo. I then used the adjustment brush to increase the clarity and the saturation of the 'Horse Infirmary and Shoeing Force' sign.
