I have decided to go back through my most successful photos and colour rate them to determine which ones to edit. Green is yes, yellow is unsure and red is no.
Edits
Edit 1
I found that the original image for this edit was very pixelated and not the best quality so I edited it by, firstly, making it darker by lowering the exposure, contrast and highlights. I then increased the texture so things are more defined but lowered the clarity and increased dehaze so everything appears smoother.
Edit 2
My aim for this edit was to make the colours of my hair and my Mum’s face look less orange, therefore, I lowered the exposure, highlights and vibrancy. Similar to the previous edit, I also increased the texture and lowered the clarity.
Edit 3
I edited this photo by cropping it then lowering the exposure, highlights and texture. I also increased the shadows and clarity. Finally, I lowered the vibrancy and saturation to make the colours less bright in the photo and make the image more tranquil.
Edit 4
I edited this by, firstly, cropping it then lowering the exposure, highlights and vibrancy. After this, I increased the shadows, texture and clarity to make the lines in the photo more defined.
Edit 5
I started off editing this photo by cropping each side then lowering the exposure and contrast slightly and increasing the texture and clarity.
Additionally, I used the brush tool to increase the exposure of the bottom half of the window so that it can’t be seen through.
Edit 6
I edited this by lowering the exposure, contrast, highlights, whites and clarity then increasing the texture. I did this to make the image just a little bit less bright and more defined.
Edit 7
To begin editing this photo, I started off by cropping the sides. After this, I lowered the contrast, highlights and exposure and increased the shadows, texture and clarity. Furthermore, I attempted to use the brush tool to get rid of the glisten in my eye, however, it just made it look worse so I kept it how it was.
Edit 8
I personally think that the original photo doesn’t need editing, however, I decided to try edit it anyway which I actually prefer the outcome of. To edit this photo, I decreased the exposure, contrast, highlights, whites and vibrancy and just increased the texture.
Edit 9
I edited this photo by lowering the exposure and clarity then increasing the highlights and texture. After this, I lowered the vibrancy to give the photo a bit less warmth as it makes it look better quality.
Edit 10
This was my last edit to represent a mother and daughter relationship and I edited it by lowering the exposure and whites then increasing the highlights. After this, I increased the texture and clarity to make everything more smooth yet defined. Finally, I finished off by cropping it then lowering the vibrancy and saturation to make the colours less lively to fit the sense that we are in pyjamas and look tired.
