This is especially helpful when creating a looser, more Impressionistic painting since we don’t want the details to impede us from recognizing the shapes of value and color. Use the sliders to make your adjustments and watch how the image changes as you make these adjustments.īy tuning the “clarity” option, we can tone down the details.Make sure that you are on the duplicated layer and select Filter > Camera Raw Filter from the top menu.(You may not like what the filter does and you’ll want to have the option to adjust the original image.) Duplicate the “Background Layer” in order to preserve the original photo.Open the image that you wish to edit in Photoshop.In this case, we’ll adjust the exposure, contrast, blacks and whites, and most importantly – the clarity.
