Irfanview Color Balance Exercise Try it...

Postby Clipper » Sat Oct 07, 2006 6:53 am

Here's something you may find fun and interesting. I've posted a pic of a Pilatus taking off from some unknown airport (my memory issues again)  ;) In this exercise, we'll try to enhance and improve the image's color and contrast balance using Irfanview's "Enhance Colors" feature. Make a copy of the image you see here, open it with Irfanview (or Photoshop if you prefer) and then click Image>Enhance colors and use your talents to modify and shape the colors, saturation, brightness, gamma levels, sharpness etc. of the pic. See if you can edit the shot to create a more realistic  and/or dramatic look. You may be quite surprised to find what a huge difference a bit of color correcting can do to improve and enhance your screenshots...try it! Post your results here on this thread.  :)

here is my attempt.
I used the grey levels from irfanview, plus a little bit of sharpening... that's it!

Here's my try... Just messed around with contrast and lighting, added a bit of lighting. I also used separated contrast changes for the plane and the background... all done in photoshop I'm afraid...
