Intro:

This tutorial is about enhancing your photos, Image enhancement is one of the most common applications of image processing. The following procedure illustrates the basic concepts of color enhancement.

Step 1:

Open an image you want to work on.

Make a duplicate copy of your original layer, it's always good to have the original image if things get out of hand. Name the duplicate 'sharpen' and lock the original layer, so you can't ruin it by mistake.

Step 2:

Duplicate the original image.

Select the ‘sharpen’ layer you just made and apply the ‘unsharp mask’ filter from the filter menu.

Step 4:

Go to Image > Adjustment > Brightness/Contrast

In the example, adjust the brightness to +30 and contrast to +22. Tip: Your brightness and adjustment would depend on your image and how you want the outcome to be. Whatever suits you!
