Challenge: Improving an aerial photograph
- [Voiceover] Welcome to another challenge movie. In this movie, we'll be working with this photograph that I captured out of a helicopter, of the Channel Islands, which are located off of the coast of California. What I want you to do is to work with curves and color balance in order to create more vivid and vibrant colors here. Your goal is to try to achieve an image which looks more like this. Here we have the original photograph, it's a little bit soft, it needs some contrast and deeper and richer color and tones, like this. So this is what you're aiming for. I would give yourself about three or four minutes in order to accomplish this challenge. After you've taken a stab at it, be sure to come back to my solution movie where I'll show you how I would approach this challenge myself.
