Tips enhance brightness and colour in your pictures

When you have a graphic that just needs that tad of ’spark’, an easy way to improve on the visual effectiveness thereof is to apply some simple Photoshop techniques.

Levels

• In Photoshop, open up your levels editor (I think it’s image / adjustments / levels).
• You will see a histogram of your image data.
• From the right-hand side, there is sometimes some blank space before the graph starts.
• By moving the right-hand pointer to the edge of that graph data you immediately improve brightness quality without losing picture quality.
• Once you move the pointer to within the graph data you will start seeing a degration of quality (your whites becoming too bright).
• If you move the left-hand pointer to the right, your dark colours will be accentuated, but use that sparingly.
• The middle pointer changes overall brightness (like white balance), but you usually don’t have to change that much except if the overall picture quality is quite dark.

The importance of Search Engine Optimization

Imagine that you are a restaurant owner (this may not be difficult for some of you!), and that your new restaurant is located on a large, busy street in a well populated area. Everything is ready – the décor is finally just perfect, the tables are set, and the staff is eagerly awaiting an influx of hungry customers. Imagine, also, that after days of being open, you still haven’t had a single patron, and you’re starting to worry. Finally, a week after opening, someone cautiously approaches the door and walks in. They look surprised to find a restaurant, and go on to explain, “I was wondering what was in here – there’s no sign out front, and the building is completely blank!”
