Gondola (jpeg format for blog)

We began this exercise with a perfectly fine photo - to the untrained eye - and improved the quality of the image by resizing and retouching. For example,
  • we removed another boat in the background, using the rubber stamp command
  • we recoloured the green tarp using the 'replace colour' command, changing the hue and saturation
  • we brightened the red on the striped cover (saturation & brightness sponge)
  • we added clouds to the original grey sky

This photograph is intended to be used in print, on a brochure. The intended use of the image determines the methods used and the techniques utilised. ie. images for print are treated differently to images for screen.
