Colors and corrections

As this is the first chapter, we’re going to concentrate on things you can do to the whole image: rotating, cropping and altering the colors. If you’re working your way through the book in order, this is a great place to start. When you’re working with an image, the first step is always to make sure you’re only working with the section you need. Equally, it’s important to know what can — and can’t — be achieved with the various methods of color correction as soon as possible. That way, there’s plenty you can do without ever moving onto the next chapter.
