4. •First I selected the same colour of
black as the sunglasses using the
eye dropper tool (See figure 1)
•Using the paintbrush (See figure
2) I then painted over the
sunglasses, often changing the
colours at different sections to
match the sunglasses
•I then used the Blur tool to make
sure that the paint faded and
matched the sunglasses
Step 1
Figure 1 Figure 2
5. Step 2
•I reduced the opacity (see Figure 3) of the
paint to make sure it was not too dark and
noticeable against the sunglasses.
•Finally I used the Blur tool (see Figure 4) to
make sure that the paint faded and matched
the sunglasses.

6. Outcome
Now the flash has been
removed it makes the image
seem more professional and
there is also no risk of
distraction.
8. Step 1
•First I created a new
layer
•Then I used the eye
dropper tool (See Figure
1) to identify an
appropriate colour to
match the model’ skin
tone. I then changed the
colour to make it slightly
darker than the models
skin tone so that it would
stand out.
•Next I began to paint in
frown lines over the old
ones, to show the model’s
anger.
I noticed in the image
the models expression
is not as clear as it could
be, so in order to show
their emotions better I
decided to edit the image.
Figure 1
9. Step 2
•I then slightly reduced the opacity (See
Figure 3) of the paint so that it was not
too dark against the model’s skin
•Finally I blurred in the paint to make
sure that it was not noticeable to the
audience that the image was edited.

10. Outcome
Now the viewer/
audience should be
able to tell from the
models enhanced
facial expressions
that she is angry
from her creased
forehead and
lowered eyebrows.
12. Step 1
•Similarly to removing the
flash, I carried out some of the
same steps when creating the
lipstick
•I created a new layer and
named it ‘Lips’
•Then I selected the shade of
red that I wanted to use for the
lipstick.
•I then went over the models
lips and painted them
13. Step 2
•I then reduced the
opacity on the layer
(See Figure 3)
•Next I went to the
layer adjustments
and experimented
with the colours on
the hue and
saturation option
(See Figure 5)

14. Outcome
Now the image is consistent with the
front cover. The lipstick also may
represent femininity through the
stereotype that women wear makeup.
