Viveza makes it easy to quickly and precisely enhance images. This image was enhanced using four easy Color Control Points.

Before & After Enhancing an Image

Before working on an image, it is recommended to identify the problems or desired enhancements. In this image, the sky was too bright and lacked contrast. Then, the little girl was too dark and faded in to the background. Finally, the sand in the background was very dull and by darkening it, more attention could be brought to the girl. To enhance this image, the following steps were performed:

    First Step
  1. A Color Control Point was added to the sky. The Brightness slider was decreased to darken the sky and the Contrast slider was increased to make the sky more dynamic. The Size slider was increased so the Color Control Point will affect the entire sky.





  2. Second StepA Color Control Point was added to the girl's face. The Brightness and the Contrast sliders were increased. This adjustment visually separated the girl from the background, drawing more focus onto the girl.





    Third Step
  3. A Color Control Point was added to the sand. The Brightness slider and the Saturation slider were decreased to further enhance the separation of the girl from the background. The Size slider was increased so that all of the sand was included in the adjustment.





  4. Fourth StepThe clouds were affected by the Color Control Point added to the sky. By placing a new Color Control Point onto the clouds, the effect from the sky was prevented from affecting the clouds as well. The new Color Control Point was added without changing any of the sliders.
