Making Your Image "Pop"
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 12:00 PM
"Often a very good photo (and this ISN'T a very good one) is ruined because it lacks "pop". This is a way of saying that the image looks flat and boring. I'm going to use this image to show how to quickly add pop to your flat images. Yes, there are many ways to do this, but we're going to go over a very simple and basic first step. Setting your black point. Nearly every picture should have a black point. As you can see in this image, the blacks are all gray and milky looking. This is because there is no true black point. Fixing this is a simple operation, that we'll outline below."
Very cool guide to some simple things you can do. One of the things that I almost always do in Photoshop is hit Ctrl-Shift-L which sets auto levels (colors, brightness, etc) on an image.
