Dodge/Burn & Filters


Before...



After.....This is the photo I dodged and burned. To fix the photo, I not only played around with increasing the contrast a little, but I burned both the sky and the mountains, which made the pink/gold/yellow-ish colors of the sky stand out alot more than in the original photo. I also burned the mountains to be just about black because I liked how it looked against the colors in the sky.





This is the first filter fix I did. I used the soft glow filter, along with using the canvas filter setting. I also increased the contrast a little and decreased the brightness, giving the photo this outcome. I like the soft glow filter because it gives the photo a soft touch to it and doesn't make it unusual or harsh. This is one of my favorite photos so far this summer.




For this photo, I applied the canvas and ripple setting. Although it may be hard to tell that filters where applied to the photo, they in fact were. I wasn't a fan of very many of the filters in Gimp. A lot of them were crazy and unusal and didn't like how they looked when applied to my photos. Sometimes something simple is better!
