The document discusses using various tools in Photoshop to edit images and create a magazine front page and layout. It describes using brightness settings to fix lighting issues, blurring unneeded backgrounds, and using selection and shape tools to help organize images and text into a layout. It also compares Photoshop and InDesign, noting Photoshop is best for image editing and base layers while InDesign has better text and column tools for magazine creation.

2. When creating my front
page I decided to use a
variation of skills in order to
get the best overall
product out of the images
that I have taken.
The reason that I have
used a program such as
Photoshop is because it
has the correct tools and
tricks in order to make a
product look professional.

3. When creating my music magazine Pages I
used a brightness setting to help fix the
lighting on the drum kit. The reasoning why
I did this is because when I had the lighting
on and taking a picture the lighting when
wrong and caused me to have to create
artificial lighting for the end of my product

5. When creating and editing a photo in photo
shop you may get some background that
you do not need but if you where to delete it,
it would make the image look tacky and not
aesthetically pleasing to look at so to counter
this you can use the blur tool.
The blur tool is locate don the side of the
main task bar located at default left side of
the screen and you can use this to blur your
work just like if you where using a brush tool.
On top of that way there is another way to
blur your work and this way would be to go
to filter at the top and then blur this along
with the selection tool will allow you to select
a large amount of space.

7. In Photoshop when creating such products
as a magazine its easy to go wrong and
not have the right images and text in the
laces that you want them to be in so away
to do this would be to create shapes using
the box tool or the Marquee tool and
create a small layout to understand and to
make the work that you are doing a lot
more easier.

8. Photoshop and InDesign are two programs
that can be used to create magazines but
both for two different reasons when I was
using them I would use Photoshop to edit
images and create the back layer of my
magazine to give me a base to follow. But
then I would use InDesign to create text and
use that in my magazine the reasoning for this
is because it has a lot more tools that where
relevant and the column system is a lot more
user friendly and easy to manipulate than in
Photoshop.
