Non-Destructive Image Adjustments

 This is my Non-Destructive Image Adjustments Blog.

This is Color Fill:

I chose the blue fill color and I lowered the opacity so the original photo will have a nice blue background. 

This is Gradient Fill:

I chose the white, which allowed the image to have a nice foggy background, which puts emphasis on the cat and child.

This is Brightness/Contrast:

I made the image slightly brighter, which makes it more appealing to the viewer.

This is Levels:

I used the levels adjustment layer and changed the output levels to 5-255, which made the image significantly brighter.  

This is Curves:

I moved my cursor to almost the middle, which made the background slightly darker. 

This is Exposure:

I moved the exposure to +0.77, offset to -0.0518, and gamma correction to 0.85, which made the image become more exposed.

This is Vibrance:

I made the image's vibrance go to +65 and saturation to +8, which made the image pop.

This is Hue/Saturation:

I maxed out the density and feather, which made the image look slightly brighter and blur the background slightly, putting emphasis on the cat and child. 

This is Color Balance:

I put cyan/red to -8, magenta/green to +9, and yellow/blue to -1, which did not make much change to the image besides balancing the colors. 

This is Black and White:

I made the reds 70, yellows 84, greens 30, cyans 65, blues 18, and magentas 87. This made the image have a gray look. 

This is Photo Filter:

I changed the density to 15% and changed the color to orange, which gave the image a slight orange background.

This is Channel Mixer:

I chose the red to be 102%, green at 16%, blue at -7%, and constant at 4%, which gave the image a cool light red background. 

This is Invert:

I made no changes to the image since there were no options. It made the colors switch and it looks cool. 

This is Posterize:

I adjusted the levels to 5. It reduces the number of colors in an image.  

This is Threshold:

I put the threshold level at 150, which makes the child's and cats visible while still looking cool.

This is Gradient Map:

I adjusted the smoothness to 90%, which made the cat and child be black with a glowing white/gray color.

Non-Destructive Image Adjustments is the option to make changes to an image without permanently altering the original image, which benefits designers greatly.
