Exercise: Colours into tones 2.

The aim in this exercise is to make practical use of channel adjustment to achieve a specific effect. We are to choose one of the following targets:
  • A landscape in which you emphasise the depth (aerial perspective) by strengthening the visual effect of haze.
  • A portrait in which you lighten the complexion without significantly altering the tones of the rest of the image.
  • A picture of a garden in which the green vegetation appears light in tone.
Also prepare a black and white conversion.

Here I have really tried to just lighten the complexion without altering the tones of the overall image too much. I hope I have succeeded here, I think that the vest top is a bit lighter than I would of liked but apart from that I am happy with the result. There is slightly more contrast at the top left of the frame on this photo compared with the black and white conversion offered by Photoshop, but I don't find it very distracting at all.
