In-Depth Information
To simulate a polarizing filter, we like to use the polarizing filter in Nik software's
Color Efex Pro. We find that it gives a more realistic effect.
Note
6.44
The Contrast adjustment has been applied to the entire image.
Use the Saturation or Vibrancy Quick Brushes to intensity the saturation or
vibrancy in certain parts of your image.
Using the Saturation or Vibrancy brushes on
your subject can help subtly guide the viewer's eye to your subject matter, as shown in
Figure 6.45. By using the Quick Brush, you can brush in these effects separately from the
other Enhance brick adjustments.
Use the Definition Quick Brush to brush in the Definition adjustment effects.
The
Definition adjustment is the same as what's available in the Adjustments Inspector, but
by using the Quick Brush you can brush the Definition in separately from the other
Enhance brick adjustments. That way you can add midtone contrast, some saturation,
and sharpness just where you want it in the image to help encourage the viewer's eyes
to go there.
Use the Blur Quick Brush to blur any areas as desired.
You might try blurring the
background to help draw attention to the foreground in your image.
