Change contrast online

 Hi all! In this article we will learn how to adjust the brightness and contrast of images in Photoshop. Let's look at how to edit an image directly, as well as using adjustment layers.


Directly decreasing/increasing the brightness and contrast

Pros of this method. Quick editing of an image or layer. Great for amateur photo editing.


Cons. If you have a complex, multi-layered project, this method is not recommended because once you apply the settings, you won't be able to change them. And in large and long projects, very often in the middle of the whole work it turns out that this or that photo is too bright or dull. We end up deleting it and uploading it again.

Change contrast online

We load into photoshop the image that needs to be edited. Next, we need to select "Brightness/Contrast":

Brightness and Contrast settings window should open:

Now we only have to edit the values by moving the sliders:

Edit the brightness and contrast with the adjustment layer

Pros of this method. All brightness and contrast settings are stored in a separate layer. You can change the adjustment layer's settings at any time. The adjustment layer also affects the underlying layers. Plus, you can apply an adjustment layer to a specific layer by using an clipping mask.


Cons. We haven't found any.


We open in photoshop the photo whose brightness we want to edit. You can find the button for selecting an adjustment layer in the Layers panel, right here:

Click on the adjustment layer selection button and in the list that appears, look for "Brightness/Contrast". This is what we need:

An adjustment layer will appear above your photo, and it will look like this:

Now just activate the layer by clicking on it, and the "Properties" panel will have sliders to change the brightness and contrast of the image:

Even in professional photography it can be difficult to control the background, let alone an amateur one.

 Using the color tone/saturation tool for color correction provides excellent options for easily changing the desired settings (hue, saturation, brightness) together or individually, as well as for "global" changes. At the heart of the tool algorithm is the HSB color model, which can be found here. I will use Hue/Saturation as a Hue/Saturation tool. Once it's created, the Settings panel will open, and you can find the basic settings at the link above.

Resize image online

In this part, we finally move from general reasoning to practice. We have dismantled all the tools. We have processed our photo and shrunk it correctly. All that remains is to sharpen it. Resize image online Although there are nuances of sharpening when shrinking a photo, in general, this procedure is easier than working with the original. It is easier because when you shrink a photo 3-4 times or more, the difference in optics is largely leveled out. The degree of blurring in the resize becomes considerably less and practically equal for different cameras and lenses. The width of the real border of blur does not exceed one pixel. There is one, ridiculously simple answer to the question, "So, what is the best way to sharpen resize? Unsharp Mask with an impact force of 500% and a radius of 0.2. Yes, that's right. I foresee a surprised exclamation: "Quiet, is that all?!?!!" (c) (a phrase from the cartoon "Jack in Wonderland"), "And for this we read so man...
