What I did on photoshop to edit my main cover image

1. EDITING MY MAIN
COVER IMAGE
What I did

2. Firstly…
I removed the background
of the image so when I put
it on my front cover it will
be the same rather than
the background of the
image.

3. Hair
I selected a new layer and choose the eyedropper tool
to select the colour of her hair. I choose the brush tool
and painted over it, using the layer options at the side I
selected divide. When opacity was 100% it looked like
this so I lowered it to 18%.
Doing this to the hair adds highlights
to the hair and makes it look healthier
and shinier.

4. Skin
I created a new layer and named it skin. I selected the
eyedropper tool and clicked on her face to select the same
colour. I choose the brush tool and set it to overlay, I turned
the opacity down to 29% so it still looked natural, I went
over all the skin. Doing this makes the skin look a lot
smoother and fresh. It gets rid of blemishes.

5. Eyes
For the eyes I selected a new layer and names it eyes. I
selected the colour black and then the brush tool. I
changed the brush tool to overlay and painted on the eye
lids, making them black, I changed the opacity to 29% so it
wasn’t too much. Doing this made the eyes look darker and
more dramatic.

6. Bottle
I blurred the bottle label as it is a copyrighted brand. To do
this is duplicated the background layer then I went on filter,
pixelate and then crystalise, I clicked okay so all the image
went pixelated. Then I used the rubber tool to remove all
the pixals except for on the bottle label. I decided it didn’t
look pixelated enough so I did this again on another layer.
