Teacher: Kenji Tachibana Digital Photography I Grand Marais: Big harbor Grand Marais, a boundary water get-away 5-hour drive north of Minneapolis Minnesota. We arrived mid-afternoon just before losing the peek-a-boo sun for the day. The example image to the right is a camera original image. Grand Marais Minnesota

Teacher: Kenji Tachibana Digital Photography I Photoshop: Lab work Most camera original images needs the basic 3-step lab work adjust- ments. 1.Levels adjustment 2.Brightness/Contrast 3.Color adjustment The example image has been fully processed to look closer to what I experienced. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to compare the Before and After steps. Grand Marais Minnesota

Teacher: Kenji Tachibana Digital Photography I Lab Work: Doing more… Usually, an image needs much more than just the basic processing to make it look more like the ‘actual experience’. Localized ‘burn’ is used to ‘frame’ the focal point. This first burn darken the upper portion of the sky. Again compare the Before and After using the Up and Down keys. Grand Marais Minnesota

Teacher: Kenji Tachibana Digital Photography I Lab Work: Another move Localized ‘dodge’ is used at the bottom for framing and bringing up image detail. Compare the Before and After using the Up and Down arrow keys again. Grand Marais Minnesota

Teacher: Kenji Tachibana Digital Photography I Lab Work: Final move The color was intensified as a horizontal band across the subject area. View the difference using the Up and Down arrow keys again. Grand Marais Minnesota
