Contrast in images
All too often I see images that lack contrast & because digital files are a flat file digital images need contrast. It's very easy one of the first things I do to an image is pull up a levels adjustment layer. I pin the High lights & Shadows then play round with the middle slider for the mid tones. Just a handy tip this can be the difference between a good image & an amazing image.
