Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a waterfall photo with stronger contrast, clearer water, and more vibrant green foliage, achieved using 3 adjustment layers, all of which can be changed anytime. Let's start. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. There are 2 ways to adjust color in Photoshop: the image adjustment command, which directly changes pixels, and adjustment layers, which sit on top of the image. Today we're getting familiar with the second method, which is non-destructive.

Step 1: Why Adjustment Layer

Open the waterfall photo.

Step Why UGM Layer

The Image > Adjustment command permanently changes pixels after saving. In contrast, adjustment layers work like colored glass on top of the photo. They can be changed, turned off, masked, or deleted anytime without damaging the original photo.

Step 2: Curves and Contrast

Click the curve icon in the adjustment panel. Create an S-curve, drag the shadow point slightly downward and the highlight point slightly upward.

Step 2: Curves and OA

Contrast increases and the photo no longer looks dull.

Matt .

Add vibrance and increase it to 35.

Step "wa .

Vibrance boosts colors that are still pale first, so the water and foliage look more lively without making already strong colors too intense. Add hue saturation. In the color range list, select grey ends, then drag hue slightly to the right and increase saturation, so the green foliage feels more vibrant without changing the color of the rocks and water.

Step 4 San

Each adjustment layer has its own mask. Select the mask for curve, take a soft black brush with 40% opacity, then brush it on the waterfall that is too bright. The contrast reduces, so the details of the water become visible again. Click the vibrance icon twice to edit it again, lower it to 25.

Then turn off each adjustment layer one by one to see the effect.

Save as PSD and export as JPG. Done.

We have now understood the difference between image adjustment and adjustment layers, stacking curve, vibrance, and hue saturation with grey ends range, applying masks to adjustment layers, and editing anytime.
