The author of the example is Alexey Pasko. The example is done in Adobe Photoshop CS.

 

Using AKVIS Enhancer plug-in and the tools of the graphic editor Alexey corrected a photo of one of the Khan Palace rooms in Bakhchisarai. Because of the stained glass in the windows the light was week and flash could only light the nearest objects. That's why most of the image came out too dark.

Dark photo of one of the Khan Palace rooms in Bakhchisarai
  • Step 1. Open the photo in Adobe Photoshop.
  • Step 2. Create a copy of the background layer by pressing Ctrl+J.
  • Step 3. In the background copy layer call AKVIS Enhancer plug-in.

    Set parameters for revealing details. But as the carpets on the floor and the walls are ancient, the pattern can not be clear and the colors can not be saturated.

    To reveal details in the dark part of the photo increase Shadows parameter up to 75, and as the room should stay dark decrease Lightness to 15.

    AKVIS Enhancer parameters

    Apply correction results by pressing the button Apply results on the upper plug-in bar.

  • Step 4. Increase contrast of some details by using Curves Adjustment layer with a mask.
    Layers palette with the layers Curves dialogue window
  • Step 5. In the end increase sharpness with Unsharp Mask filter.
    Unsharp Mask parameters

    As a result the image has become more detailed (especially in the dark part of the photo), carpet patterns and the screen trellis are better visible now and at the same time they preserved their colors.
