I used the curves twice for this image. The first to lighten and bring out the image, and secondly for the finished image. (5 years and 3176 days ago)

Curving - Photography Contest [114 entries]
Contest goal:
We've all used this feature and since it's also a feature that's allowed to be used, I thought it would be fun who could curve the best photo. Take one of your own photos and curve the colors in a way that can be totally psychedelic or just enhances the image altogether.
Anything can be in the shot but it must have been curved and no black and white images. A good tutorial about curving can be found here.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

friiskiwi: good idea ( 5 years and 3179 days ago )

( 5 years and 3178 days ago ) Contest Moderator: Adding the original image is the SBS is not mandatory, but will certainly assist members when voting. Normally this equates to a better score.

friiskiwi: Thanks for the suggestion, this is so much fun, the hardest thing is knowing when to stop. ( 5 years and 3177 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Hey friiskiwi, get this. I was curious to when I suggested it and it was my 2nd contest suggestion, exactly 1 year 79 days ago. I also realized how many suggestions I've made...

( 5 years and 3176 days ago ) kyricom: Hrmmmmmm.... interesting. I think this is resulting in some fun entries... BUT, I think it is also a function of the program being used. In my program (not Photoshop), curves has absolutely NO impact on color. It will impact which parts of the shot are emphasizing contrast or brightness, but even if I max it there would be ZERO impact on color. Interesting. I'll have to be careful in the future when I comment that they need to play with curves on their entries. ( 5 years and 3175 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Kyricom: Suggestion: get photoshop. ( 5 years and 3174 days ago )
k5683: kyricom, I didn't think my program had the colors in the curves either but it does. I just had to click on the drop down menu ( 5 years and 3174 days ago )
kyricom: I'd be happy to use Photoshop... just drop me a line when you've bought it for me, Josh! Thanks a bunch!!!

( 5 years and 3173 days ago ) kyricom: I can adjuct colors like this, k5683, just not through curves. but... looking at some of the SBS's, a lot of these aren't done through curves either ( 5 years and 3173 days ago )
saudamini9: @kyricom:m not sure what u r using but most softwares that provide curves include color curves.it has 4 options of red,blue,green and general....the general one adjust the blacks, and brightness and contrasts.if u need a color curve software instantly try fotoflex website.ucan edit pix online. ( 5 years and 3173 days ago )
kyricom: Thank you for your advice. I've only been using my program for 5 years. Let me check and see if there's any of those color thingies.... ummmmmm, nope. (I can do what is achieved in these entries, just not under "curves". Look everyone, I'm not upset or anything. I was just making an observation about the differences in some software. I'll live if I don't enter every theme. ( 5 years and 3172 days ago )
