TO BEGIN:
Choose a photo of yours to edit. It should be a photo that can benefit from editing!...one that could be rotated,
cropped; as well as an image that the colors could benefit from adjusting.
Please create a folder called photoshop editing and save image in the folder (title it original.jpg.)
Do the following:
1. Open the file with Photoshop
2. Rotate File (Image on top menu bar > Image Rotation then select a rotate option) (practice this, even if your
image does not need to be rotated).
3. Crop File (using the crop tool in the toolbox on the left of the screen)
4. Levels (Layer on top menu bar > New Adjustment Layer > Levels) Click OK. Slide the input level triangles to
make the darks a little darker and the lights a little lighter. Adjust the mid-tones and lights as needed.
5. Curves (Layer on top menu bar > New Adjustment Layer > Curves) Click OK. Adjust the curves as needed by
clicking a point on the curve line and dragging up slightly to make lighter, or down slightly to make darker. (You
can add ore than one point to adjust the lights, darks or mid-tones.)
After this step, you should have a better looking image. Save this in your photoshop editing folder as 2edited.jpg
6. For Higher Contrast: (Layer on top menu bar > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast) Click OK. Adjust
the contrast slider to the right to make the image high contrast).
After this step, you should have a high contrast image. Save this in your photoshop editing folder as 3highcontrast.jpg
7. For Black & White:
a. Use History to go back to after it was cropped.
b. Layer on top menu bar > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/saturation (adjust the saturation slider to the left to
desaturate the image.) Then click OK
c. Now adjust levels and curves the same way you did in step 4 & 5
After this step, you should have a black and white image. Save this in your photoshop editing folder as
4blackandwhite.jpg
