The document discusses editing photos for a magazine using Photoshop. For the front cover photo of Sarah with a skateboard, the author adjusted brightness and contrast to make colors pop more, used the Vibrance tool to enhance lighter colors, and enlarged the photo to fit the magazine. For the double page spread of Sarah, the author similarly adjusted brightness and contrast to improve colors, darkened the image as it was overexposed, slightly adjusted exposure to darken light areas, and enlarged the photo to fit the spread.

1. Image Manipulation, Front Cover:
For this I will be talking about the pictures I have taken for my magazine and how I have edited
them on Photoshop to make them look more appealing and suited to the style if magazine.
My first picture was of Sarah with her skateboard posing at the bottom, for this image I
manipulated firstly adjusting the brightness and contrast. I did this to bring out the colours a lot
more for example the green on the skateboard was really pale, until strengthened the contrast
you can see the green more clearer now. After I darkened the image by adjusting the brightness
I then used the Vibrance tool, this brings out the lighter colours a lot more in the image, like the
pink on the side of the board and the grass in the background. This tool makes the image more
eye catching and professional when put with texts on the magazine.
Finally I en-larged the image to fit the magazine, making it big enough to see Sarah's face
from a distance.

2. Double Page Spread manipulation:
The image I used for the double spread was the full body picture of Sarah, as I was talking for Sarah in the article it was
necessary to have a good presented full shot body picture of Sarah to show the audience who is talking. I manipulated
this image very similar to the image on the front cover, by mainly adjusting the brightness and contrast to bring out the
colours and make it look more appealing and presentable. I darkened both brightness and contrast for this image
because it was a little over exposed when taking the image so by using this tool on Photoshop I could make the image
darker and ultimately looking more professional when placed in my magazine. I also slightly adjusted the exposure on
Photoshop for this image because like I said the background and Sarah herself was too pale to be seen from a distance,
this just darkened the very light spots of the picture e.g. the sky and grass in the background. After adjusting the colours
and brightness of the image I finally finished by en-largening the image to fit the perspective of the double page.
