The document describes the process taken to recreate a photo from Butlins using various Photoshop effects. Effects like brightness and contrast, replace color, selective color, and color balance were used to match the tones and hues of the original photo. Cloning was used to copy elements like grass and pavement. Levels, grain, gaussian blur, and lens correction were applied to achieve a similar aged and blurred look. The recreated photo was then placed below the original and rotated upside down to create a mirroring effect for comparison.

1. Second recreation – Butlins
Photo

2. Original picture I am recreating
First I use the brightness and contrast effect.
Because the original images is quite dark I used this
effect to make my picture darker by turning both the
brightness and contrast down.

3. Next I used an effect called replace colour. I used
this so that I could make the bright colours in my
recreation picture like the red coat and the glow from
the sun darker. It gave my picture a duller look.
I used the selective colour effect, this
made the red blazer look the darker red it
is in the original picture.

4. The next effect I used was called colour balance. I used this to make
the background and my whole image more dark blue and green like
in the original.
Next I used the clone stamp tool to
copy some of the dark grass from
the original picture and colour it over
the grass on my recreation so that it
will have the same dark grass in
some parts.

5. I then used the clone stamp tool again to copy the pavement in my
recreation picture and just make it cover up the grass in the picture. I did
this because I wanted it to look more like the original with the grass on
the left and all pavement on the right hand side.
I used an effect called levels next to give the
whole picture and the bits I’d edited darker.

6. I used the colour balance again to make sure all the bits I had edited were also dark like the
original picture. I focused on the cyan and blue bars to make my picture more green and blue like
the original.
Then I used the lens correction effect on my picture. I
changed the amount of vignette on my picture and
turned it up. This gave my picture dark corners
coming into the picture.

7. Next I used a texture effect called grain to give my picture an
aged look. The original was a bit blurry and grainy so I think this
effect worked well on my recreation.
The I added the Gaussian blur effect to give my whole
picture a blur just like the original. In the original picture
the face and the detail in the picture is blurred and not
very defined so I copied this when editing my picture.

8. I the placed both images on a new
Photoshop document and I resized both
images so they was the same size and I
put my recreation below the original.
Then to give my mirroring effect I rotated the
recreation picture so it was upside down
compared to the original.
