Workflow Stage 3
Basic Image Workflow
The next thing we do is adjust the contrast of the image. There are several ways todo this, and some work better than others. There are 4 popular ways to achieve contrast control.
1. Auto Contrast - IMAGE/ADJUST/AUTO CONTRAST
This is a quick and dirty way which doesn't give you any control.
2. Brightness/Contrast-IMAGE/ADJUST BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST
This allows you to adjust the brightness and contrast of the image seperately (considered a crude method)
3. Levels - Image/Adjust Levels
You can increase the contrast by bringing the highlight and shadow sliders closer together.
4. Curves - Image/Adjustments/Curves
You can increase contrast in the curves
by using an S-Curve (one of my favorites). Varying degrees of the curve
will will increase the amount of contrast. We will use this method for
our image.
