making ‘this glass is half full’

Today I posted a new image from a local pub that at the time I took it was a really nice photo as it stood. Really nice soft natural light, nice depth of field and sharpness with the 50mm f/1.8 lens, simple subject matter, popping colours, and beer. Perfect. 🙂

I did give it a little lift in Photoshop though, as I often do. I just like my images with a bit more pop or a push one way or the other. As it was a really simple few layers I used, I thought it would make for an easy explanation!

First of all, here’s the original photo straight off the card, untouched by any editing software beyond the JPG settings on board the camera:
