Editing Shop Photos with Photoshop

Using the lessons I learnt from the Photoshop tutorial about colour balancing and creating overlays, I took this photo (top), which came out a dull, yellow colour and made a colour adjustment layer, making the yellows more blue and red. I then made a 50% grey overlay layer, then lightened the elements of the photo that I wanted to stand out. It's still not a fantastic photo, as there was minimal light to work with inside the shop, but it certainly looks better now than it did to start with.




I'm now going to move away from indoor photography, as it doesn't interest me and is not relevant to my project. I do not feel that the shop keeper homework task (this photo was taken from the series I created) helped towards my project at all, so I will use the poor results to continue learning Photoshop basics, but will now move on to practising outdoor photography for my final project shoot.
