Tutorial: Blog Pictures Editing

I got some questions from the blog readers asking how I edit my blog pictures. The answer is really simple, I only use the curve feature in adobe photoshop. I love to have a lot of pictures in my blog post, but I'm a lazy blogger when it comes to picture editing. Here I show you some simple steps to get the VSCO look (color contrasts with dark and milky shadows)

First, open the image on photoshop (surprise surprise, I'm using the old version - CS4)

Next, open the Curve window. Start by moving the slider on the center to increase the brightness. Drag the bottom left slider a bit higher, you might not see the result for this action yet, so you need to make another dot between the first and second one. Just try to copy the curve line like I did below, this should make a color contrasted with dark shadows. Try to move the sliders as you like to reach the desired tone. If you like to have more vibrant color, try to increase the color Hue with Hue/Saturation feature.

Lastly, put some notes on the picture by using fonts or hand writings.

I hope this one helps you to edit your blog pictures using photoshop, let me know what you think! ^^
