Process
For the editing process, I used Windows photo editing software because I didn't have access to a better program but I believe it was sufficient enough to get the result I wanted. First, I checked if I needed to do any cropping or rotating to the image to adjust or crop anything I didn't want to in the image. In order to rotated I had to crop some of the edges but it didn't really affect the image all that much except maybe make it slightly smaller. Next, I experimented with enhancing the image to see it I needed to adjust slight blurriness that it may have. I didn't want to add any filters because I didn't find them necessary and or I didn't really like how they looked. There were really only two where I may have added a filter but in reality it didn't really change the image. I then adjusted the light and color in order to make them clearer and intensify some of the colors. I then experimented with the clarify option which helped define some objects and gave them a sharper feel. Lastly, I rarely used the vignette option to either darken or brighten the corners to direct the attention to the center of the image or reduce the light slightly. I would then save the image if I was satisfies with how it turned out.
