Coffee With Morgan: The Color Wheel and Photo-Editing
>> Saturday, July 31, 2010
Colors, they are inspiring. Colors, they are what add depth and life to our images. Colors, they can also make us so sad when editing pictures: Red skin, Green cast and any number or color oops. My favorite way to fix it, going back to elementary art and the color wheel.
So how does this effect photography?
If you have red, add cyan to get a happy medium.
If you have too much blue, add yellow.
Too much green, add magenta.
Vice-versa for magenta, cyan and yellow.
Meet Morgan! I am from a small town in southern Texas, but now live in central Texas, Fort Hood/Killeen area to be more specific. I am a stay-at-home mom and do photography in my spare time. I am married to a wonderful man that I was lucky enough to meet and be able to spend my life with. We have two beautiful children, Payton 4 years old & Amelia 1 year old. The thing I love the most about photography is that you can take an intangible moment in time and make it last forever. I don't have any formal training, I just learn from experimentation and research. Website

Love the new print option!
BTW...I didn't add in my post I have this wheel right by my editing computer :)
This tidbit of information is extremely useful to me. It will have a place of honor in my desktop.
Thank you for the easy to read, easy to understand information.
