Basic Post Production Photographic Effects

Vignetting - This darkens up the edges and makes us focus more on the subject, before you use the vignetting tool you must click feather and 90 pixels so that it gradiates and does not give it a thick border, also use the the brightness contrast tool to light up the image and make it brighter it can make the image grey and flat.


Image - Adjustments - Desaturate - This makes the image black and white to give it that old vintage effect, The dodge and burn tools help to lighten or darken your image, the burn tool helps to darken the image and the dodge tool helps to lighten the image.

Filter - Sharpen - Unsharp mask - thi sharpens the image a little bit, it is very good for sharpening up the eyes. This also uses auto colour which can take some of the colour away from the image and make it abit more darker or lighter.
