Before making color and tonal adjustments

Photoshop can enhance, repair, and correct the color and tonality (lightness, darkness, and contrast) in an image. Here are some items to consider.

Adjustment layers to adjust the tonal range and color balance of your image. Adjustment layers let you go back and make successive tonal adjustments without discarding or permanently modifying data from the image layer.

You don’t have to use adjustment layers, you can apply adjustments directly to an image layer.

Remove any flaws such as dust spots, blemishes, and scratches from the image before making color and tonal adjustments.

Open the Info or Histogram panel in Expanded view. Both panels display invaluable history on your adjustments.

Correcting images

Use the histogram to check for the best original image.

Make sure that the Adjustments panel is open to access color and tonal adjustments.

Adjust the color balance to remove unwanted colors.

Adjust the tonal range, using either the Levels or Curves adjustments.

Start tonal corrections by adjusting the values of the highlight and shadow pixels in the image, setting an overall tonal range for the image.

To adjust the tonality in just shadow and highlight areas, use the Shadow/Highlight command. See Improve shadow and highlight detail.

Make other color adjustments.

Enhance colors or produce special effects.

Sharpen the edges in the image.

As one of the final steps, use the Unsharp Mask or the Smart Sharpen filter to sharpen the clarity of edges in the image.
