The document discusses techniques for layering and editing images in Photoshop. It describes adding a blank background layer at 100% opacity to design on top of. It also discusses adding long exposure images to the background layer without affecting the background, and using layers to selectively hide or show parts of images. Styles like Linear Light and Subtract are used to blend layers together while keeping colors visible. By layering and editing styles, the original images can be transformed into something completely different and unique. These techniques allow for easy experimentation and creation of pleasing and creative images.

1. I first of all added a
blank background layer
in Photoshop and then
left the opacity to
100% so that I could
design it ontop of the
background.
By choosing a small blank space to open my image onto I have automatically given
myself room for adjustment. I can do this after uploading an image and clicking
CTRL + T. These function keys creates a box around the image and you can adjust
the size in any direction to any scale of your choice.

2. I added one of
the long
exposure images
that I took in my
photo-shoot of
the Christmas
lights.
By adding
another layer it
doesn’t effect the
background
therefore I can
add or erase
anything that I
want in any layer
that I add and it
would be white
underneath.
By having both
of the eye
symbols on in
photoshop I can
see both layers
that I am
working on and
can make the
other layers I
don’t want to
see invisible, as
if they were
never there.

3. When layering
image sin
Photoshop
and making
them visible
you have to
change the
layer opacity
or the style. I
chose to use a
different style
so that both
images can be
seen but with
the same
colouring. I did
this by
changing my
image layered
ontop to
Linear Light.
This is the
second image
that I layered
on top of my
original
background in
order to create
a very obscure
yet creative
effect.
I believe that the colours that I used in these images were eye catching and would intrigue
my audience into looking further into the album and even watch the music video.

4. By then adding a
third and last
layer to my piece I
have ended up
with something
completely
different to what I
first started with. I
again changed the
style in the images
to create a multicoloured, swirled
long exposure
image that is
interesting to the
eye.
The golden colour
that was in the
image has
changed to a red
and a pale blue
with the Subtract
style making the
image more
unique.
Using these Photoshop techniques I can create things that look nothing like the
original therefore I can experiment easily yet make something creative and
something that looks pleasing to the eye.

5. These are some more images that I created using the same technique shown in the last four slides. I presented
different styles for each image as well as effects, my own images that I have taken as well as different colour
schemes. These images do not have any text on them at the moment never the less once I have edited further,
imported fonts from Dafont.com and created my own fonts, they could be used as final front covers or a
successful series of images together.
