Viveza makes it easy to quickly and precisely enhance images. This image was enhanced using four easy Color Control Points.
Before working on an image, it is recommended to identify the problems or desired enhancements. In this image, the sky was too bright and lacked contrast. Then, the little girl was too dark and faded in to the background. Finally, the sand in the background was very dull and by darkening it, more attention could be brought to the girl. To enhance this image, the following steps were performed:
- A Color Control Point was added to the sky. The Brightness
slider was decreased to darken the sky and the Contrast slider
was increased to make the sky more dynamic. The Size slider
was increased so the Color Control Point will affect the entire
sky.
A Color Control Point was added to the girl's face. The Brightness and the Contrast sliders were increased. This adjustment
visually separated the girl from the background, drawing more
focus onto the girl.
- A Color Control Point was added to the sand. The Brightness slider
and the Saturation slider were decreased to further enhance
the separation of the girl from the background. The Size slider
was increased so that all of the sand was included in the adjustment.
The clouds were affected by the Color Control Point added to the sky. By placing a new Color Control Point onto the clouds,
the effect from the sky was prevented from affecting the clouds
as well. The new Color Control Point was added without changing
any of the sliders.
