Fixing Bad Photos
Fixing Bad Photos
We all take bad photos now and then (if not even more often than that) but it isn't always necessary to delete them. Using an editing program most of them could be improved, perhaps not to the high standards that A.Mac achieves, but perhaps good enough to save. Here are 10 examples of photos that I have taken that were either really failures, or at least somewhat mundane, but by using Photoscape I have tried to improve them to some extent and framed them for better presentation. Some have been made into an extreme form of art. I have posted the original followed by the edited version in each case. What do you think?
1. Way out of focus, or slow shutter speed.
Increased exposure, and a couple editing tricks
2. Out of focus, or shutter speed to slow
Sharpened, contrast increased, edging
3. This is when my old camera lost its colour control.
A little cropping, sharpen, increase contrast and de-saturate the colour entirely
4. Another photo taken when my old camera lost its colour control
Crop in order to display the best part of the photo, isolate the main subject, adjust the colour, decolourize and pencilize the background
5. WAY out of focus
No choice but to really mess around with this one - Abstract Art?
6. Poor focus and distracting background
Sharpen and vignette
7. This was from a photo essay I did on trees, not clear and distracting background
Sharpened it to show the patterns better, added some colour, oval crop
8. This photo just took in too much, most of which is of little interest
Major cropping required, then sharpening and adjusting exposure
9. This was another photo taken when the old camera's colour control went haywire
Cropped for better composition and elimination of background distractions, and colour adjusted
10. Lights of a city across a river
Could not do much with the focus, horizon leveled, cropped top and bottom and the colour adjusted.
