Originally published 2014/04/10. Reposting with updates. In this first set of tutorials we covered the basic properties of an image, and how their manipulation affects the end results. We explored exposure, contrast, saturation and sharpness individually, as it is generally easier to decouple properties when studying them. But the nature of an image is very […]
Originally published 2014/03/27. Reposting with updates. Today’s tutorial will cover a property called “sharpness” and how its manipulation affects an image. What is sharpness? Sharpness of an image describes its edge contrast, in other words how well defined edges are in the scene. Sharp images are clear and defined, easy for the eyes to follow […]
Originally published 2014/03/06. Reposting with updates. Today’s tutorial will cover a property called “saturation” and how its manipulation affects an image. What is saturation? Saturation of an image describes the separation between tones in a color. Highly saturated images have purer colors, thus appear more vibrant and lively. Less saturated colors give room to more […]
Originally published 2014/02/27. Reposting with updates. Today’s tutorial will cover a property called “contrast” and how its manipulation affects an image. What is contrast? Contrast of an image describes the separation between its darkest and its brightest areas. Well lit images, with sharp colors and strong shadows typically have a high contrast, while “softer” images […]
Originally published on 2014/02/20. Reposting with updates. Today’s tutorial will cover a property called “exposure” and how its manipulation affects an image. What is exposure? Exposure describes how much light an image has received as the result of a combination of elements during the capture of the scene: Lens aperture The wider the aperture, more […]
