The document provides step-by-step instructions for editing a front cover image in Photoshop. It describes cropping the image to remove unwanted scenery, using the plaster tool to remove blemishes for a clearer edge, converting the image to black and white to match the dark, mysterious genre of indie rock while maintaining the red bandana, and saving the edited image in the Jpeg format.

Begin by opening the image you wish to
edit. Click file(1) then open (2) and
finally choose the image you want and
click open.

3. Crop
Secondly I cropped my image to get rid of
any unwanted scenery in the image and
make the image easier to edit. For those
unaware of how to crop; the crop tool is
situated to the left toolbar.

4. Next I removed any blemishes and spot etc. This was to give the image a more
clear edge which is what I am trying to recreate with the magazine. To remove
blemishes I simply clicked the plaster tool on the left toolbar.

5. Converting Black and White

Considering my genre of magazine is Indie Rock I wanted the image to replicate this genre. The genre itself is
considered dark and mysterious so by converting my image to black and white I thought it supported the magazine
genre. Although I wanted to keep the red in the bandana and here is how I selected the red.

6. Converting Black and White
Next was the actual conversion to black and white
while maintaining the red bandana. This was a very
easy process, all I had to do was the previous steps
to select the red and then click black and white(see
image) which was situated to the right of my
Photoshop window.

7. Save

would like to save as. I
recommend Jpeg(3)
