A monitor for photographers and designers
In this series of articles on postproduction of underwater images, we have worked a lot on white balance settings, basic and advanced exposure corrections, contrast and curves, advanced techniques of removing colour casts, basic and advanced retouching, final colour boost, cropping and sharpening. Finally, our image is ready! And now, we arrive at the question: What do I do with it?
The sharpness of a photograph depends on the camera in use, the lens and the camera settings. Every lens has an optimal range with respect to its sharpness performance.
Adobe Photoshop is the number one tool for image editing and provides a large number of editing tools and options—far too many of them actually. But the good news here is that, for editing our underwater images, we only need a few.
The Intuos Pro Creative Pen Tablet from Wacom is a graphical tablet that can make a noticeable difference in the postproduction workflow of underwater images.
Designed for PRO level image, video and 3D editing, the ColorEdge CG319X 31.1-inch (79cm) monitor from Eizo supports 99 percent of the Adobe RGB and 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color spaces.
A color cast is a tint of a particular color, usually unwanted, which affects the whole photographic image evenly.
Colour is often the key factor in underwater photographs. A keen photographic eye and a few fine adjustments in postproduction can improve colours and give your image the final touch.
Whilst nowadays most underwater shooters do their white balance correction during postproduction of images, there are still many shooting situations (such as several different light sources present in one shot) in which doing it “old school” comes with clear advantages and optimized workflow.
