This document provides instructions for editing images in 4 steps: 1) Editing the model's hair by removing loose strands and blending the hair with the background. 2) Adding dip dye colors to the hair tips and streak using layers, brushes, and opacity. 3) Removing red-eye from the model's eyes. 4) Pixilating part of the image by selecting an area and applying pixelation filters. The edits allow wider representation of audiences and make the image more appropriate while implying explicit content for the target age range.

2. Editing the models hair

3. Step 1 •I noticed that after I had
removed the background from
the image the model’s hair
looked different with random
loose strands sticking out. When
I removed them I also saw that
the models hair now looked
frizzy and the background was
still in between strands of hair.
•To fix this first I used the lasso
tool to select the worst parts of
the hair which seemed to be
the ends.

4. Step 2
I then changed the
brightness and
contrast of the hair
to make the parts
of the background
between the hair
merge and fade
into the hair

5. Step 3
Then using the blur tool (see Figure 1)I
made sure that the ends of the hair
were faded, less frizzy and not
showing any of the background.

6. Step 4
•After placing the image in a
suitable place I then created a
new layer which I named ‘dip
dye’
•I then used the paintbrush tool
to paint the tips of the models
hair and then red and then the
colour purple for a streak of the
models bun
•Then I reduced the opacity
(Figure 2) of the paint to make it
blend in with the hair and appear
natural
•Finally I experimented with the
colours on the Hue and
Saturation option (See Figure 3)
in the Adjustment Layer section,
until I was happy with the colours
chosen

7. Outcome
The use of the dyed hair
alows a wider
representation of the
target audience, For
example young teenage
women that are apart of a
‘punk’ group and listen to
that genre of music with
died hair is being
represented by the model.

8. Removing Red-Eye

9. Step 1
Creating another layer and
then selecting the red eye tool I
was able to remove the
redness and restore the
model’s original eye colour.

10. Pixilating the image

11. Step 1
After using the lasso tool
around the hand of the
model I went to the
Filter options and
selected Pixelate and
Fragment.

12. Outcome
The image is no more polite and viewer/
audience friendly. However the pixilation
implies explicit content, but this is
acceptable based on the age range of my
target audience.
