Three Steps to Editing Photos #1 Adjust the Mood of a Photo through Color Balance and Saturation Photos can reflect different moods depending on the color and saturation. Saturation refers to how much color is in a photo. Saturation also addresses vibrancy, which affects the intensity of the color in a photo. Different colors bring out different moods in a photo. The same photo can be happy, angry, relaxed or somber. The editor can affect the mood through Color Balance. To edit Color Balance, you must first launch the Adobe Photoshop program. The program may take a few seconds load. Once the program is open, go to file, then open. Browse for the photo file you wish to edit. Once the photo loads, click Image. Navigate to Adjustments, and then Color Balance. The Color Balance Info Menu should appear. The Color Balance menu allows you to edit the tone balance on Shadows, Midtones and highlights. Within those three tones, you can edit the amount of cyan vs. red, magenta vs. green and yellow vs. blue. For a happy tone, apply more yellow and a little bit of red. Be conscious of what tone you are editing at the time. You may only want highlights to grow more red, not shadows. For an angry mood, go with reds, possibly magentas, and blue in the shadows. For a relaxed mood, apply both cyan and yellow. For a somber mood, apply both cyan and blue.
