Colour - How to Xprocessing

 1. Open your image you want to edit.

 2. Adjust the exposure by using curve tools.

 3. Using lasso tool, select the area around your subject, then press ctrl-shift-i to make masking area, then using level tools and adjust the slider until the efx you want (in this photo the efx area has been adjust).

 4. Using RGB curve, make a similar 's' curve for red & green channel, while the opposite way for green channel, readjust the overal exposure if needed.

 5. Using gradient map and set it black/white, then set to soft light and opacity about 32%. This will add contrast a little bit to the whole image.

 6. Using colour balance, and by set to shadow tone area, slide those three channel to the efx you want to.

 7. Adjust the white point, lower the contrast a bit.

 8. I use this texture to add some efx to the image.

9. Add the texture to the above layer, set it to soft light and opacity about 75%, using eraser tools to erase the area which cover the talent face.

This just a simple few step. Of course there is another way to do it, but this is just the way i do to my pictures. Have a nice day and enjoying this simple tutorial.

Thank you.

:: Sunset @ Nusajaya ::

It very rare to see this kind of sunset nowadays.. Normally, the sky are not this yellow-orange colour.., but it is no imposible for Him.. 

I shot this a few weeks ago, while on the way back from Bandar Nusajaya to Gelang Patah.. While we ( i went the shoot session with azmier, apex & trisno ), were driving our car, sudddenly the cloud change colour to this amazing one.. We park our car on the road side, then took few pictures of it.. 

This image is straight from my camera, i just cropped a bit n resized. No colour editing, contrast each.. What an amazing sunset it is.. Subhanallah..
