What Is Image Enhancement?

In image enhancement, there are more tools than you can shake a stick at. The first step in any enhancement project is to decide what you want to do to your image and why. Do you want to change its color? Its size? Its resolution? Once you know what changes need to be made, you can choose the right tool for the job. When working on images in Photoshop, for example, three main types of filters can be used: color correction filters (such as Gaussian Blur), image editing filters (such as Sharpen), and special effect filters (such as Emboss). Each has its uses and will affect your image in different ways. If you're trying to change the color of an entire image—or just one part—you'll want to choose an adjustment layer instead of an adjustment layer because they allow you to make multiple changes without impacting other parts of the image. This is especially useful when working with photos from different sources that might have been taken under different lighting conditions or with different types of film this way, all adjustments are made at once instead of having to pick between two other options for every single one separately There are many ways to make a picture look better. Some of the most basic types of image enhancement tools change the contrast or brightness of an image or manipulate the grayscale or the red-green-blue color patterns of an image. Some basic filters also allow changing a color image to black and white, a sepia-tone image, or adding visual effects. Enhancement tools can do things like remove wrinkles from old photos, brighten up faded colors, remove dust spots and scratches from old negatives and slides, improve sharpness in photos taken with low-resolution cameras on cell phones and tablets, and add visual effects such as filters that make it look like an image was taken through an old camera lens (with vignette), add artificial lighting effects (like light leaks), remove skin blemishes from portraits so that they look more flattering. . . This is just scratching the surface! There are many more enhancements than those listed here, and some don't require any software!
