ADOBE BRIDGE

Do you know that you can access your files on Adobe Bridge? Definitely you can! In Adobe Bridge you can see the detail of your files. For example for photo, you can see the ISO, file name, file type, etc. Try yours! ;)

So, I want to open my file for the exercises.

See! You can see the detail of your photo on the Metadata

 COLOUR CORRECTION

So I opened this file. When you double click on Adobe Bridge, it will automatically open the Adobe Photoshop. Because the file type is RAW, it will appear like this on Photoshop.

When the graph is look like the letter u or n, it means that you have a good photo lighting :)

I tried to adjust the light

This picture is a JPG file so when you double click on Bridge, it will appear like this. THE PROBLEM of this picture is there are too much green colour used and makes it less-natural. To solve this problem, click Colour Balance on Adjustments box!

Adjusting the midtones 

Adjusting the shadows 

Experiment with the Brightness/Contrast. If you make the image brighter, it looks less-contrast.
