Les Jones: Downtown Knoxville, TN Pictures

East Tennessee > Downtown Knoxville, TN Pictures

Snapped these yesterday.

I like the pictures. I need to learn more about Photoshop retouching. I turned up the brightness a little, but I need to bring up the color some more without making the pictures look milky.

Nice shots. For color you might experiment with the curves adjustment. Drag the diagonal line about 1/4 to 1/3 from the bottom down just a little. The dark areas will become a little darker. Then 1/4 to 1/3 from the top drag the line up just a little bit. The entire line should be like an s shape, except in most cases the curves are very small. This tool enhances the contrast and can make colors pop. Of course, there's always the hue/saturation adjustment also.

Merry Christmas.

Gracias, Fletch. I played with curves a little, but didn't really know what I was doing.

Merry Christmas Les!

I have reached my original goal for Mushy's so there is a change coming after the first. I will probably flip to The Silverbacks, but nonetheless, I'll be around.
