Photoshop(Picture for the front cover)

• I have edited a picture of Sophie for my front cover and here is the journey of the picture, in photoshop.

Photoshop• Here is the beginning of the

journey of the picture of Sophie.

• It is a mid shot, she is standing to the side so she is standing in a natural pose. rather than a forced one.

• This then makes the front cover look more inviting because the pose it natural, like what normal people do.

• So she is the same as an average person rather than showing off that she is famous.

Photoshop• As you can see in this first photo Sophie has a gap in her hair.

• I fixed this by using the lasso tool, pick a matching piece of hair, then clicking control and shift C then control and shift V. That then gives it its own layer and then you give it a mask and feather it 6 pixels, which bends it in.

This is before

(right)I fixed her

hair.

Photoshop• In this screenshot I have gotten

rid of her shadow.• Getting rid of the shadow

focuses the readers eye on Sophie.

• It also highlights her in the photo, so she stands out from the background.

• I got this colour by clicking ALT and selecting a colour from the original background.

• Then I used the paint brush and painted around her to even out the background.

Photoshop• I decided to change the

colour of the background to blue.

• However I don't think this has worked, so I'm leaving it as the original colour that i painted it.

• This is because it looks more natural.
