6 Ways to Get Great Colors in Your Photos without Photoshop

Increasingly well-known documentary photographer as well as MatadorU contributor Ryan Libre has a following 6 tips upon getting good colors in your photos though post processing.
1. Use a polarizer filter.

A polarizer filter takes away reflections when used during a right angles. By cutting out a reflection we can see a true colors. These colors can be some-more vivid than a human eye can see, though are really real. It in all works good upon leaves, a sky, water, as well as skin tones.

2. Underexpose a small or a lot.

The Kachin Independence Army has been fighting for leisure from a Burmese military Junta since 1961. All images pleasantness Ryan Libre.

Your cameras built-in metering system tends to error upon a side of lighter exposures. This leaves colors looking faded or cleared out. If we underexpose your images a colors will be most richer. Try -2/3rds of a stop.

3. Adjust your in-camera superfluity level.

If its an overcast day as well as we know a colors might be a small dull, we can adjust your in-camera saturation. Most every camera has this option. This has two advantages over photoshopping it later. One is we can see a colors in front of we as well as can name a some-more real superfluity level than we can looking during your monitor in an office preoccupied from a context of a photograph. The alternative benefit is which it only saves time.

4. Use your white balance.

The Manau Dance is a central legal holiday which bind! s all Ka chins together. The Kachins sing as well as dance for 3 days during a Mykitna Manau Festival. All images pleasantness Ryan Libre.

Your in-camera white change is an amazing apparatus for editing opposite lighting as well as adding mood to your photos. Try receiving a portrait upon cloudy as well as auto, as well as we will see your camera automobile WB in all shoots upon a blueish side of a spectrum. Good use of white change can urge a photos colors immensely.

5. Switch your tone space.

. All images pleasantness Ryan Libre.

Your camera is set by default to SRGB, which only shows a colors visible upon a web. If we switch to Adobe RGB, a tone gamut is most wider as well as your camera can capture a larger variety of colors.

6. Shoot during optimal times of a day / year.

For example, if we wish good tumble colors, take your shots upon only a right day as well as during only a right time. You will get amazing colors in your photos as well as a wish of saying them with your eyes as well.
