Editing Your Photos Is Essential

Giving Photos Needed Focus and Contrast

Let's face it: out-of-focus, low-contrast photos happen!  But a qualified photo editor not only can save those losers but can give them needed focus and contrast. Using a variety of photo-editing filter techniques, Warren highlights key elements and characters in photos, giving them the visually appealing prominence they deserve.

 Out-of-focus correction  Rescue your blurred images; recover lost image detail; refine image detail for a crisp, clear, vivid image. Using advanced photo-sharpening techniques, Warren can rescue, recover, and refine your out-of-focus photos. See his transformations below.

 Low-contrast correction  In black-and-white photography, high contrast conveys a sense of hardness and is characteristic of strength and power. Low contrast conveys a sense of softness and is characteristic of gentleness and mildness. In color photography, color contrast is an effective compositional element. Colors with opposite characteristics contrast strongly when placed together. Each color accentuates the qualities of the other and makes the color images stand out dramatically, as you'll see below.

On this page, see how Warren refined average-quality photos with combined defects — being out of focus and having low contrast — by simultaneously adding natural-looking contrast, removing color casts, and sharpening the images. On the previous page, you can see a variety of ways he added dramatic effects to recover low-contrast photos. On the first page are examples of successful WCD rescues of out-of-focus, average-quality photos.
