The document discusses various tools used in Photoshop for photo editing. It describes using the crop tool to remove unnecessary background, the spot healing tool to reduce blemishes and smooth wrinkles, and the dodge tool to brighten areas like cheekbones. It also mentions using the text tool for headings and subtitles, the shape tool to create boxes and circles, the erase tool to remove unwanted elements, and the zoom tool to see finer details. Additionally, it discusses using the blur, sharpen, and smudge tools to refine edges and stray hairs, as well as the paint brush to apply and blend color as needed.

1. Photoshop Tools

2. I used the crop tool
to cut off the sides
of the photo as I did
not need as much of
the background as is
shown.
I used the spot
healing to reduce and
hide any blemishes
on the skin or lines
and creases on the
clothes.
The dodge tool used to
highlight certain areas of
the model such as the
cheekbones to brighten
them up.
Brightness and contest is the
first thing I did when editing
images. This is to create more
lighting and more shadows, it
helps to sharpen up images and
contrast tem up.

3. One of the
most used tools
is was the text
tool as many
headings,
articles and sub
headings
needed o be
wrote.
I used a Dafont.com
font for most of the
text and used
Coolvetica for the
masthead.
The shape tool is how I
created the boxes on the
contents page. I also used
another option the shape
tool offers which is a circle
to create the puff.
The erase tool was
used to get ride of any
unwanted things, such
as an overlap on the
image used on my
contents page ad stray
hairs in the cover
photo.
I used this to
zoom in and
out when
having to get
into small
areas.

4. I used al three of these tools on my
images. I used the blur tool to
soften any edges that were too
harsh whereas I used the sharpen
tool to do the opposite in some
areas. The smudge tool was
selected to move certain things such
as stray hairs back closer to the
head.
The paint brush is used to
paint color where you want it.
I changed the background
color by painting over it and
left some darker color to add
shadow, I created more of a
fade look by lowering the
harshness of the brush stroke.
I used this too get the exact
color I wanted so that it
would match , I used the
lighter color from around the
model to create the
background color then used
the dodge tool to brighten it
up.
