I experimented with this photo to enhance tones and colours, helping to create a  more interesting and exciting piece. I am extremely pleased with how this image turned out and like the contrasts and tones within this image. To create this computer experiment I completed the following steps described and shown on the screenshot. 

1. Added a threshold adjustment at level 112
2. Rubbed out part of this layer/adjustment at her head and hair
3. Added a posterize adjustment (Levels: 4)  

COMPUTER EXPERIMENT TWO

I experimented with this GIF to reflect the opening of someone eyes to the real world and horrors which it faces. I first added a black and white adjustment to the first image of the closed eyes to show how the girl is closed from society and in the dark from current issues and views. I then added a hue and saturation adjustment to both layers with a saturation of plus 6 and lightness of plus 21. I added this effect to create a haze look to the image. I like how it creates a different message of the image and displays a more powerful piece. 

COMPUTER EXPERIMENT THREE

I created this computer experiment to enhance the red shades created from a natural sunset. Although these colours have been adjusted I feel it has allowed this image to create a greater impact on views due to the bright colours within this image. To create this image I added a channel mixer with the following setting shown within the zoomed in screenshot.

 For this computer experiment I only made one adjustment to the image using the liquify tool. I opened the liquify tool and moved my brush around in circle motions on the hair to create this effect on the image. I decided to create this to experiment with the green and purple colours. I am pleased with how the colours have been adjusted and the strong contrast it produces.

After 'solarize'

After adding a brightness and contrast adjustment

Edited Picture

For this experiment I took a picture from my high key shoot and adjusted it as shown above. Firstly I added a solarize effect which gave the model this blue look and black background. I like the way in which it enhances the models hair and posture. I then added a brightness of 18 and contrast of 70 followed by a black and white effect, producing this dramatic image with usual tones.
