Some of the photo's for my digital story are too bright as they were taken on a sunny day and my story is set on a day where it had been raining. I have edited these photo's to look more like a dull day.
Original photo:
I duplicated the background layer and turned off the visibility on the new layer.
I opened up the hue saturation tool and lowered both the saturation and the brightness.
I then turned on the visibility on the duplicate layer and changed the blending mode to pin light to allow the layers to blend together and crate a dull looking photo as if it was overcast.
As I had to do this to a few photos I recorded it as an action and used batch processing to repeat the action on several pictures quickly.
This makes the photo's look more realistic for a day where it has been raining and will communicate this in my film better.
I have also decided to edit all of my photographs in this way to stylise the film and give a feeling of continuation throughout it.
