The red parts of the steel tower are a little dim. We will adjust them using auto correction and slider.
Click the hand icon on the left top of the dialog box and place the cursor on the picture. An eyedropper icon appears. Click the part you would like to put adjustment and move the mouse to left and right so that you can directly adjust the contrast of the picture. It is more convenient that moving the slider in the dialog box.
You can also adjust the contrast with the <pre-set list>. I chose <infrared> in the image above. Now it looks brighter as a whole than Step03 and at the same time the dimmed clouds turned clear as well.
The biggest difference between this tutorial and “How to convert a photo into black and white in Photoshop 1” is that you can adjust the contrast with this technique.
