Photographic Post Production

Original image.

Auto tone/contrast/colour. These each create very subtle effects to the image.

Brightness and contrast. I manually adjusted these to achieve this image.

Sharpen and unsharp mask. Here I changed to radius to 2.2 pixel and made sure the amount was 100%.

Dodge and burn. I used the dodge tool to lighten dark areas of the image, and I used the burn tool to darken light areas. These tools helped to create shadow, highlights and set mid tones.

I auto the red tones here.

Here I auto toned the greens.

Also I auto toned the blues in this image.

Red, Green and Blue. Full edited image.
