WHITES AND BLACKS

Let’s go back to the Basic panel and

check the Whites and Blacks. The

point of this step is to make sure

the aggressive toning adjustments

we’ve made have not caused too

many problems. You can extend the

tonal range of this image slightly by

lowering the Blacks slider to -20.

Click the OK button to apply the

changes and return to Photoshop

VIGNETTE

Click the Effects icon (below the

histogram) to bring up the Effects

panel. Under the Post Crop Vignetting

header choose an Amount of -15

and select Color Priority. This step

will render the peripheral parts of

the image darker so they will take on

more of the Teale colouring.
