beginners In the current digital world, photos and Photoshop are closely associated. Though Indian

Most of the times, after capturing picture, you realize that there is much more than what you

focussed for. To get better composition, you can crop the photos and the best way to do that

is by making use of the Crop Tool. For that press the ‘C’ button and select the tool. Now

using mouse, you can create a box inside the image. Then select the area that you like and

press the “Enter” key to get the cropped picture.

Adjust the contrasts

When it comes to the companies that offer photo editing services, it’s their professionalism in

adjusting the contrasts that give images a rare bliss. You can also do this and it’s quite easy.

The images that look gloomy can be brought to life using the Levels Tool. Pressing ‘Ctrl’ and

‘L’ will open to you the ‘Levels’ dialogue box and there you can see the option to adjust

contrast and tones.

Adjust the lighting due to colour shifting

When it comes to image capturing indoor, the main issue is that the lighting may get tinted

with blue, yellow or a red cast. Your eyes may not identify the difference but the fortunate

thing is that your camera perceives lights in a very different way when compared to human

eyes. Just navigate to Image > Adjustments > Selective Colour. You will get the option there.

Sharpen the blurry photographs- Don’t sacrifice colour

Removing fuzzy effect is a skill that many service providers offering photo editing are expert

at. The main culprit for fuzzy effect is dim indoor lighting. Many filters are there which can

be used for making the image sharp but most of them harm the colour or distort the picture.

Keeping colour intact is the real challenge here. For that navigate to Image > Mode > Lab

colour. Then flip to Channels Panel and select the Lightness Channel. Go to Filters > Sharpen

> Unsharp Mask where you can sharpen the images. Now press Ctrl and ‘L’ together to reach

the Lightness Channel and if needed highlights and midtones can be adjusted. Now bring

back your picture to RGB colour by going to Image > Mode > RGB.

The above described are just a few. For more, stay tuned with our blog
