Today you will be editing your ghost photos and running them into a contact sheet. Here are the steps you should take for each photo:
1. Crop if necessary. Take out large amounts of "dead space"
2. Turn your image black and white by clicking Image--> adjustments--> black and white.
3. Adjust your levels by clicking CTRL L or image-->adjustments--> levels. Adjust the black and white sliders so your image has nice contrast and your ghosts show up well.
4. Extras:
-add a sepia tone by clicking image-->adjustments-->hue and saturation. Click the check box that says "colorize". Slide the hue slider to orange and pull the saturation slider lower. You should get a soft brown vintage effect.
-use the burn tool with a LARGE soft edge brush around the outside of the photos to make the edges dark
-use the sharpen tool to make faces stand out a little more. Remember, only one or two swipes of the brush, or it'll start to look weird.
5. Name these photos anything you like and run a 2 column 3 row contact sheet. Doublecheck your neighbors contact sheet to make sure you did not use the same photos!
