Photostory: Just a Little Island


Note: All images were scaled and switched to 313ppi

Zakimi Castle Ruins: color balanced, canvas filter, dodge/burn

Maeda 1: burned all midtones and shadows, dodged midtones in spots, added watermark, framed*

Maeda 2: selected border of 0.2" with feathering, used paint bucket to fill with wood pattern

Wanderer: burned shadows and midtones, used lasso to turn person into own layer than desaturated, reordered layers, added watermark, framed*

Maeda 3: dodged and burned, watermark, framed*

Fisherman: burned midtones and shadows in water, made fishing pole own layer to burn it, added watermark and framed*

All other images were burned, had a watermark added, and were framed.

*Framing was done by increasing the canvas size, centering the image, filling new layer using paint tool, and moving new layer to background.

All photographs were edited, however I wanted to stay away from major alterations in order to preserve the true feel of the island. My original story board included images from multiple places around the world, however I didn't like the way it flowed. Because of that, I decided to stick with own place.
