Photoshop Practice - Wakeboarding

As well as using Photoshop for coursework, I use it a lot for personal projects mostly based around the sports that I do. In my spare time I have been practicing using Photoshop to enhance images to get better quality from them and to make them stand out more. This is an example of a before and after that I have produced:

This is the original picture. 

This is the picture once I had finished editing.













To produce this photograph, I used image adjustment controls to change the exposure, contrast, brightness and saturation levels. This allowed me to brighten the image and bring out broader colour to make the image really stand out. I will likely use similar techniques when I create a poster for my music video with the same idea in mind to brighten it up and make it stand out more to attract the attention of my target audience.

This is another technique that I have learnt through my use of Photoshop which is to layer images on top of each other but lining them up to create a series shot. This is something that I may not have to use for this particular project. However, I have the skills ready for if I need to do this or if my group decide that we want to produce something of a similar style.
