Sharpening & Noise Reduction

There’s a lot more to a sharp photo than the moment you capture your photo. Aside from a sharp photo, a spotless photo is just as important. Noise can be a very distracting element in your photo. In this blog we’ll tell you all the ins and outs of sharpening and noise reduction!

Contrast

Did you know contrast is essential to a striking image? In fact, it’s crucial. Contrast adds depth to an image, making it more attractive. It invites the viewer to really look at a photo and the story behind it. Learn how contrast works and how to create an even stronger image.

Horizon/Distortion

Have you ever taken a photo in which buildings seemed to be leaning backwards, or other lines were not 100% straight? It can happen to the best of photographers. You want your photo print to match reality, so buildings and other lines in your photo should be straight. You might see it twenty times larger on a print (and of course you don’t want the Eiffel Tower to look like the Pisa tower).

Color Space

When saving your photo, you can also set your preferred color spaces. Different spaces offer different levels of color saturation. The most well-known color spaces are RGB (which has multiple variations) and CMYK.

Composition

Ultimately your entire image depends on your composition. The composition guides the viewer’s eye through your photo. The photography world has a “fixed” set of rules that are applied to build a strong image. However, it’s always good to get creative with your composition. After all, rules are meant to be broken.

White Balance

Colors make and break our photos! We want our grass to be green, the skies to be blue and skin tones to be natural. Yet sometimes your camera might just capture it differently. By using the correct white balance your colors will always look vivid and natural.

Aberration

Any photo enthousiast, like all of us at Xpozer, wants to make sure our photos look amazing before we print them! One thing that is often overlooked is chromatic aberration. Yet, it’s an essential part of preparing your photo for print. In this article we’ll give you a step by step guide to removing chromatic aberration!

Saturation

Color brings your photo to life. From a beautiful sunset in Morocco, the purple lavender fields in the South of France or the tulips in the Netherlands. To make sure that your photo really stands out, you have to play with color. We’ve gathered some tips to help you pop your colors!

Black & White

Where color photography could distract the viewer from the subject, black and white photography enhances the contrast and structure to bring the subject to life. This is why black and white photography is very common in street photography and wedding or, portrait photography.
