The document summarizes image editing tasks performed on character faces for a music production. First, the faces were scaled to similar ratios to improve professionalism and proportion. Backgrounds were then deleted using selection and removal tools in Photoshop to allow custom backgrounds. Effects were also added to the images to match the theme of the accompanying music video.
