The document describes the steps taken to edit a photo of Chloe in Photoshop. In step 1, the photo was converted to black and white and the contrast was increased. In step 2, blemishes and an unwanted necklace were removed using the patch tool, and shadows were added under the lolly and on the eye. In step 3, color was added back to select areas using the brush tool at low opacity, and the photo was cropped to focus on Chloe. The final step involved duplicating and flipping Chloe horizontally to create a reflection effect.

1. Photoshopping
Chloe

2. Step 1
Step 1 of editing Chloe on Photoshop, I changed the
colour of Chloe using the black and white tool button.
After I changed the colour of the image I increased the
contrast of the image. This then made the image darker
being in black and white or lighter, by doing this it
makes the black and white effect more interesting by it
being more powerful or less harsh. I chose to change my
image into black and white because I found it suited the
image more than being in colour.
This is the Black and
White tool I used to change
the image into Black and White.
This is the tool I used to
change the contrast of
the colour of the black
and white image. It is the
tool called curves.

3. Step 2
This is a high key image because of this you could see a lot
of detail in Chloe’s face things such like spots, freckles,
lines. So to get rid of these details I used the patch tool, to
use the patch tool you have to circle a fault say a spot and
drag it to a clear part of the skin and then the spot will
turn into that tone of the skin. I used this tool to also get
rid of the black necklace round Chloe’s neck because I only
wanted her to wear the gold cross, I found the black cord
very messy as the chain which is meant to be at the black
was at the front and it didn’t make the image look very
professional. I also added more of a shadow under the lolly
using the dodge tool and I added more of a shadow on
Chloe’s eye shadow.
This is the patch
heeling tool this
is used to get rid
of things such
like spots.
This is the dodge
tool I used to add
more shadows.

4. Step 3
I then added colour to the black and white image
by using the brush tool and I lowered the opacity
percentage of the colour. By lowering the
percentage it makes the colour less powerful and
makes it look more realistic, because it allows you
to see the detail of the lips and lolly. I also
cropped the image to focus more on Chloe.
This is the brush tool I
used to add colour to
certain features on the
images e.g. lolly, necklace
and lips
This is the crop tool I used
to lose more background
this made the image focus
more on Chloe.

5. Final Step
For the final step of Photoshopping Chloe I
duplicated her then flipped her horizontally. I
done this by going to edit, transform and
then flip horizontally. This then created a
reflection of Chloe, by flipping Chloe it made
the image more interesting because there is
another use of different tools. The flipping of
Chloe was the last affect I done and my
image was then created
This is an image to demonstrate
how I flipped Chloe.
