With this wedding photograph, we're going to look at how we can use the Effects Panel…in order to brighten up the edges of the picture.…We'll also crop the image, and then finally we'll finish it off using our Basic Panel.…Let's go to the Effects Panel by clicking on the fx icon here and next…what I want to do is click and drag my Amount slider to the right.…Here we're going to brighten up this overall image,…we can control where this is going to happen.…And what I'm looking to do is just to add this really bright effect around the edge,…because let's say that we know the client really likes this type of a look here,…and so I'm just going to dial in these controls until I find…a brightening effect that I think might work for this picture.…
The next step is to Crop.…And I want to crop after I've made this effect, because I may not need to crop…out as much as I thought, because the brightening effect as you can see here…is already diminishing that person in the background.…If we increase the Feature more, we can see it almost removes that person.…
