The document describes the process used to edit multiple photos for use in a music magazine. It involves cutting out the subject, smoothing edges, adjusting lighting, removing blemishes through airbrushing, enhancing eyes by making them brighter and adjusting makeup, editing lips to be brighter and stand out more, brightening teeth, changing hair and clothing colors, and enlarging lips to be equal in size. The same editing process is applied to multiple photos for use in a double page spread.

1. The process of developing the image to go on the front cover
of my Music Magazine
Out of the photo’s I had taken and narrowed down
to a select few, this is the one I chose to use as the
image for my front cover.
First, I opened the photo up in Photoshop and then started by using the ‘Magnetic Lasso’
tool to cut her out from the background, and then once I had cut her out I used the ‘Eraser’
tool to smooth the edges.
Then I used the ‘Spot Healing’ tool to remove any spots, blemishes or marks that she had,
and then I used the ‘Curve’ adjustment function to adjust the lighting of her.

2. Then I decided to airbrush the photo, to give it a more flawless effect. I done this by
duplicating the layer, then using the ‘Gaussian Blur’ technique and adjusting it to how
blurred I wanted it, then I used the ‘Layer Mask’ option and then ‘Hide All’ to make the
blurred layer hidden, so when I used the ‘Air Bush’ brush tool the blurred effect came
through – and I simply applied it to the areas I wanted – and then right clicked on the layer
and chose the ‘Merge Down’ option.
Once I had air brushed her, I then chose to adjust the colour of her eyes to make them
brighter and to stand out more. I done this by using the ‘Colour Replacement’ tool to make
them completely one colour, then I used the ‘Dodge’ tool to brighten the irises and used the
‘Burn’ tool to darken the pupil. Then I decided to adjust her make up, I used the ‘Burn’ tool
to make her eyelashes longer and eyeliner darker and thicker – I done this to make her eyes
stand out more.

3. Then I decided to adjust her lips; to make them brighter and stand out more. I done this by
using the ‘Colour Replacement’ tool, which evened out the colour and placed it all the way
to her lip line, then I used the ‘Dodge’ tool, to make them brighter and add shine to areas,
and finally I used the ‘Sharpen’ tool, to make the lips stand out more. Once I done that I
decided to brighten her teeth; I done this by using the ‘Colour Replacement’ tool, to make
them all the same colour as each other, then I used the ‘Dodge’ tool, to make them brighter,
and finally I used the ‘Sharpen’ tool to make them more noticeable. Once I had done both
the lips and the teeth, I used the ‘Liquify’ option to enlarge the lips and make them equal.
I also decided to change the colour of her hair, I done this by using the ‘Colour Replacement’
tool, then I changed the colour to a red – I done this because I thought it made her look
more interesting and eye catching.

4. Finally, I decided to change the colour of her clothes. I done this by using the ‘Colour
Replacement’ tool, and picked a colour that I liked, then changed the blue to green.

5. The process of developing the image to go on the contents page
of my Music Magazine
Out of the photo’s I had taken and narrowed down to
a select few, this is the one I chose to use as the image
for my contents page.
First, I opened the photo up in Photoshop and then started by using the ‘Magnetic Lasso’
tool to cut her out from the background, and then once I had cut her out I used the ‘Eraser’
tool to smooth the edges.
I used the ‘Spot Healing’ tool to remove any spots, blemishes or marks that she had, and
once I done that I decided to use the ‘Curve’ adjustment function – which adjusted the
lighting of her. I also decided – once her spots, blemishes and marks were removed – to
airbrush the photo, to give it a more flawless effect. I done this by duplicating the layer,
then using the ‘Gaussian Blur’ technique and on that I adjusting it to how blurred I wanted
it, then I used the ‘Layer Mask’ option and then ‘Hide All’ to make the blurred layer hidden,
so when I used the ‘Air Bush’ brush tool the blurred effect came through – and then once I
had done all of that I simply applied it to the areas I wanted – and then right clicked on the
layer and chose the ‘Merge Down’ option.

6. Once I had finished with air brushing her skin, I decided to adjust the colour of her eyes – I
wanted to make them brighter so they would stand out more. I done this by using the
‘Colour Replacement’ tool to make them both one colour, once that was done I used the
‘Dodge’ tool to brighten the irises and used the ‘Burn’ tool to darken the pupil. Then after
adjusting here eyes I decided to touch up her make up so it stood out more, I done this by
using the ‘Burn’ tool to make her eyelashes longer and eyeliner darker and thicker.
After doing her eyes and make up I decided to adjust her lips, in order to make them
brighter and stand out more. I done this process by using the ‘Colour Replacement’ tool,
doing this evened out the colour and placed it all the way to her lip line, after that I used the
‘Dodge’ tool, to make them brighter and add shine, and finally I used the ‘Sharpen’ tool, this
was to make the lips stand out more. After I had done that I decided to brighten her teeth; I
done this by using the ‘Colour Replacement’ tool, which was to make them all the same
colour as each other, and then I used the ‘Dodge’ tool, to make them brighter, finally I used
the ‘Sharpen’ tool, this was to make them more noticeable. After I had done both the lips
and the teeth, I decided to use the ‘Liquify’ option to enlarge the lips and make them equal.

7. Then, I chose to change the colour of her hair, I done this by using the ‘Colour Replacement’
tool, then I changed the colour to a red – I done this because I thought it made her look
more interesting and eye catching, but to also keep her looking the same as the imagery on
the front cover.
Finally, I decided to change the colour of her clothes, since I had done so with the imagery
on the front cover. I done this by using the ‘Colour Replacement’ tool, and picked a colour
that I liked, then changed the blue to purple.

8. The process of developing the image to go on the double page spread
of my Music Magazine
Out of the photo’s I had taken and narrowed down to
a select few, these are the ones I chose to use as the
images for my double page spread. Some of the
photos are done at different stages – e.g. some
images had their hair done before their eyes, but
some had their eyes done before their hair – but I
decided for displaying the stages on here I would do
all the images in the same order.
First, I opened the photo up in Photoshop and unlocked the background layer so I could edit
on it, and then started by using the ‘Magnetic Lasso’ tool to cut her out from the
background. Once I had cut her out I used the ‘Eraser’ tool which was to smooth the edges.

9. Once I had cut her out I used the ‘Curve’ adjustment function to adjust the lighting of her.
After that I used the ‘Spot Healing’ tool to remove any spots, blemishes or marks that she
had, and then decided to airbrush the photo, to give it a more flawless effect – I done this
by duplicating the layer, then using the ‘Gaussian Blur’ technique, then I used the ‘Layer
Mask’ option and then ‘Hide All’ to make the blurred layer hidden, so when I used the ‘Air
Bush’ brush tool the blurred effect came through – and then once I had done that I right
clicked on the layer and chose the ‘Merge Down’ option.

10. After I had finished with the air brushing, I chose to adjust the colour of her eyes because I
wanted to make them brighter and stand out more. I done this by using the ‘Colour
Replacement’ too – l to make them both one colour – and then I used the ‘Dodge’ and
‘Burn’ tool. Then I decided to touch up her make up so it stood out more, I done this by
using the ‘Burn’ tool to make her eyeliner darker and thicker and her eyelashes longer.

11. Then when I had finished doing her eyes and make up I decided to edit her lips and make up
on her lips, in order to make them brighter and stand out more. I done this by using the
‘Colour Replacement’ tool – doing this process evened out the colour and also placed it all
the way to her lip line. Then after that I used the ‘Dodge’ tool, to make them brighter and
add shine, and finally I used the ‘Sharpen’ tool – this was to make the lips stand out more.
Once I had done that I chose to brighten her teeth, which I done by using the ‘Colour
Replacement’ tool, which was to make them all the same colour, then I used the ‘Dodge’
tool to make them brighter, and finally I used the ‘Sharpen’ tool – this was to make them
more noticeable. After that I decided to use the ‘Liquify’ option to enlarge the lips, and also
to make them equal.

12. After that I chose to change the colour of her hair, which I done by using the ‘Colour
Replacement’ tool, then I changed the colour to a red – as I had done so with the other
imagery’s.

13. And finally, I decided to change the colour of her clothes – I done this by using the ‘Colour
Replacement’ tool, and picked a colour that I liked, and then changed the blue to
orange/dark purple/yellow/a brighter blue.
