Challenge Image: Sun to Shade
In this lesson I’ll tackle a challenge image that was submitted by a Masters Academy member. I was asked to adjust the sunlit area of a cobblestone street to make it match the shady area of the same surface while producing a seamless transition. I ended up trying three different methods, all of which produced results that I found to be acceptable. In the end, I would choose whichever method you would find to be the most efficient and least mentally taxing. The methods I used where: 1) Masked Adjustment in Adobe Camera Raw (the same could be done in Lightroom), 2) Frequency Separation, 3) Curves Adjustment Layer + Layer Mask.
If you’d like to submit your own challenge image, please do so by choosing by choosing the associated option near the bottom of the Resources menu in the navigation bar at the top of this web site.
