Last weekend we went to see a lake which shows up and disappears after longer periods of heavy raining. That’s why it’s called periodic lake ![]()

No, i don’t mean Apple inc., but THE apple ![]()
Mac Pro, Macbooks, iMacs, iPods and iPhone have nothing to do with this ![]()
So, like ma.tija said, I made my own pimped apple.
I hope that Steve Jobs wont sue me for this like they sued Central park for GreeNYC logo.

If you are occupied with photography, you have probably found yourself in situation like this:
One day I went out to take some pictures. It was wintry day. And somehow you wanted to take a snap of panorama. Everything was foggy and colors were greyish and full of blue haze… Grrrrrrr
The same thing happened to me today, so I decided to make a little tuturial how to make pictures more vivid ![]()
Notice: In this post I intentionally exaggerated with making pics (too) contrasty and colorful. And I do not guarantee improving of your photographic skills by obeying this tutorial ![]()
True photograph depends and on the photographer and the camera after all

Overlay
Duplicate the layer -> set the blending mode of upper layer to overlay -> adjust layer opacity to 50%

~
Curves
Open Curves [Ctrl + M] and try to find perfect result. I suggest something like that.

~
B&W
Open Gradient map (Image -> Adjustments -> Gradient Map) and set gradient from black on left to white on right.

~
Levels (this is probably best and inelegant way to do it)
Open Levels [Ctrl + L] and calibrate adjust each color channel individually. Move both sliders so that you omit low endings on each side. Something like this.

So, I hope that you’ll find it useful
