Homework #6:

Chapter 5: Image Editing

Image editing is one of my favorite parts before showing my photograph. Most of the time, the camera work only enables you to go so far as to capture the moment, and often times, your photograph will capture the environment of the moment, but not the mood or the real beauty of the moment. With post editing an image, it is important that the photographer think about what he or she wants to showcase in this specific picture. If the same picture were taken by two different photographers, and they were told to edit an image, the result of the two might result in something very different to one another. In this chapter, it talks about black and white imaging, levels and curves, retouching and sharpening as well as contrasting. All these aspects help set the mood for the picture. Personally, when I first start editing a picture, I switch to black and white and compare from which platform I want to start editing the picture. After I choose color or black and white, I then move on to selecting the right contrast and exposure, highlight and shadows and so on, until I am satisfied with my final photograph.
