1. Went to PS to auto correct colour but it turns out very wierd at times with greenish hue in the pix... can i noe wat went wrong and how do i remedy it?

2. Anyone can enlighten me on sharpening image, contrast and brightening pixs w/o being too much?

3. What other features in PS can be used to enhance quality, clarity and overall pix?

Pls advise... Danke!!!

ps. Kindly take a look at the pixs in my gallery for more details on editing of my pixs. Mostly, I used oni resizing, sharpening, contrast and brightening my pixs... My tigers pixs do turn out quite nice but as for my red...

Try not to use contrast and brightness command, because it work on overall images. instead used level and curve. Level will be easier. Some of the move is a bit difficult to show. I also have what how much you know PS. This make me easier to show you. Other I will be guessing that you have knowledge about the tools I used. To learn PS the most important is to know the function of the tools. The problem is how and when to apply the tools is most important.

When we edit am image:
1. Adjust back the actual colors.
2. Sharpen to just right, too much make the image fake or hard.
3. Retain Detail in highlight & lowlight.
4. Right contrast and brightness. (different monitor C&B will be different) monitor have to be caliberate to your lighting where your monitor sit, if not monitor looks ok but print out color shift or too bright or too dark.
For web viewing generally works for everyone wothout calibration or minoitor.

Let me know which Aro pic you want to edit. I will guide you from here.

Ok bro, perhaps the monitor you see there compare to mine is different. As i have a very bright monitor. Plus the initiate pic which i captured from the actual pic was not sharp so there's definitely wont be so much perfect in doing that.

Anyway, remember to capture the image with enough lighting so that the lights would be able to compensated for the image c/b. *Note : The initial stage of capturing is ver important...For example : if you have a blur pic, u cannot expect to have a sharp pic in the end.

Y not you send me the pic and i try my best to do some adjustment for ya.
