A way to improve screenshot quality
So, since there is no new chapter this week (Which means no color blog this week), I thought I'd share a way on how to improve the quality of your anime screenshots! We're gonna take this step by step and I'll have images to help you.

So get your image. For this one, I am using a picture of Pantherlily and the other Exceeds:

Step One: Go to Filter->Sharpen->Unsharp Mask and use these settings: Step Two: Go to Filter->Blur->Surface Blur and use these settings: Step Three: Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness and Contrast and use these settings: Step Four: Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Levels and use these settings (Not always the same settings but around those numbers): Final Step: Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Curves and use these settings (Again, not always exact but around these settings):

And this is my final result:

In 5 short steps, see the difference in the image quality?! I hope this tutorial helps people when editing anime screenshots!

PS: Color Blog will be back on next week with the new chapter!
