Advanced Photo Editing With JLuck

October 27, 2009 | In: Tips & Tricks | By Jessica

Hi My name is Jessica, J.Luck on Scrapblog and I have a passion for doing cool things with photos.

I thought I could show you a high contrast black and white effect called threshold. Threshold is a photography technique you can easily create in Scrapblog using the advanced photo effects in the builder. If you like to have fun with editing photos and would like to try something new, I think you should give this a go.

Step 1) You open up the Scrapblog builder and choose a photo to edit. Select the photo and then click on the “Edit” button in the top right corner of the builder screen.

2) For the Threshold technique, you will first have to click on the “Comic” button under the “Basic” effects tab and then click on the “Advanced” tab at the top to finish the effect.

3) Under the “Advanced” tab you will see 5 sliders for which you can edit your photos even further. For the “Threshold” technique you will need to slide the “Brightness” slider to 30, the “Contrast” slider to 100, and the “Saturation” slider to -100.
(This technique will show up better on a well lit photo, not a dark photo)

4) Click “Done” and your photo editing is complete.

I hope you like this new techique I have shared.

    Well explained! I’ve never investigated the ‘comic’ button in Edit nor the ‘advanced’ tab (although I have used other editing programs.) Thanks, Jessica, for showing us more possibilities within ‘Scrapblog’.
