Graphic Design: Photo Effects & Manipulations
Photo effects in graphic design refer to the various techniques and tools used to alter and enhance the appearance of photographs. These effects can be applied to digital images using image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop.
Some common photo effects used in graphic design include:
- Color adjustment: Adjusting the color balance, saturation, and hue of a photograph to achieve a desired look.
- Filters: Applying a filter to a photograph can give it a particular look or feel, such as a warm, vintage look or a cool, blue tone.
- Compositing: Combining multiple photographs or elements to create a single, cohesive image.
- Retouching: Removing blemishes, scratches, or other imperfections from a photograph.
- Manipulation: Altering the appearance of a photograph in a more dramatic way, such as changing the shape or size of objects, adding or removing elements, or creating surreal or fantastical effects.
Photo effects can be used to enhance the visual appeal of a photograph, communicate a specific mood or message, or simply to add artistic flair to a design.
