Harli's How-To Page 1 |

To start with when the picture comes off your scanner, I personally always save my file as <filename>.PSD. As psd is the native Photoshop file and it does not contain any data compression that is harmful to the quality of the graphic. 1. In the floating palette you should see a tab called layers. The default name for the 1st layer (your original scan) is called background. I want you to change the name of this to "Original" to do this double click on the layer (I have highlighted the default "background" and renamed it already) a dialogue box will come up and you can rename this layer.. You will see why very soon.  Here I'm using a pic from my Harli Hot & Heavy set, this is on the now named "original" layer. Here I do all my color adjustments. Using option under Image -> adjust -> Levels, curves, ect. Until I get colors that please my eyes. Unfortunately I can't show you the real original as this pic as I have already had the color adjustment done to it. This is one of the Floating palettes. For this step you need to be looking at the "Layers" tab. |
