1. To edit the original photo, I used a variety of tools on Adobe Photoshop
CS6. I first used the brightness and contrast tool to enhance the image and
make it look sharper. For example, the brightness scale made the photo
brighter so that you could see more hidden details e.g. veins on the neck
and expressions. The contrast scale enhanced the image by broadening the
dark areas of the photo to also reveal more detail of the image. The hue,
saturation and lightness all helped changed the colour. For example, the
original colour of the photo was purple and dark whereas adjusting the
hue helped give the photo a more realistic colour. The saturation also
helped fade the colour filter from the bold colour to make the photo more
realistic. The lightness scale helped brighten the image from the dark
colours also.

2. The hue tool was the first I used to edit this image. It helped balance out
the unrealistic colour in the photo e.g. purple and red and helped the artist
look more real. The saturation helped fade the left over red and purple that
still remained in the photo. The lightness was only adjusted a bit to lighten
the image and help the subjects (the artist) face stand out. The brightness
also did the same. The contrast however, helped darken certain aspects of
the image and also sharpened areas e.g. facial expressions. The colour filter
was used to balance out the yellow and left over unreal colours. This again,
helped the artist look more natural.

3. The hue was the first editing tool I used to get my outcome. For
example, the hue helped remove the dark purple colour upon the
artists face. Also, the hue helped remove some of the bright light in
the background and make the photo more realistic. The saturation also
helped remove some of the bold and vivid colour upon the image. The
photo filter was used to balance out the left over dark blue colours
that still remained in the photo and helped them blend in. The
brightness scale was used to enhance the image and to remove the
darker areas that were still shown, it also helped to brighten the
artists face so we are able to see the facial expression. The contrast
helps enhances and sharpens the image.

4. These images were taken and edited on
an iPhone 4S. They were taken during two
concerts. I edited them using an app
called VSCO cam which helped change
the saturation, contrast, brightness and
tint.
