Overlay to Improve Low Contrast


Look for images that have a low, soft or muted contrast.  Be sure they are unedited.  Images to consider: exposure shot on a cloudy day, in the early morning or in the evening, exposures shot in the shade.

     

 

Assignment: You are to edit 2 images that will benefit from a contrast boost

 

Composition tip: This works best with low contrast images (cloudy weather lighting or subject completely in shade, etc.)

 

Number of total images in album: 4

You will turn in different 2 exposures with a before edit image and the final image for each
