To create a manipulated band image, the document describes using various selection and editing tools in steps. First, the Rectangular Marquee and Quick Selection tools were used to cut out the band image. Then the Polygonal Lasso tool and eraser refined the cut edges. Effects like a drop shadow, lowered brightness, and increased contrast were added. A concert photo was placed behind the image to convey a concert atmosphere. The same cutting process was repeated for versions on the cover and double page spread, with additional adjustments to brightness, contrast, and use of the healing tool.
