The document discusses the use of various selection, editing, and design tools in a photo editing program to create a magazine that follows the codes and conventions of an example magazine. The tools allowed the user to select, highlight, and cut out parts of images, smooth out spots and marks, change colors, and add text. Using these tools ensured the magazine looked professional and accurately replicated the style of the original example magazine.

1. I used this selection tool to select pieces of my images which then
meant that I could make them selected parts of the image
highlighted or darkened. This allowed me to edit my pictures in the
way I wanted to which meant I was copying the codes and
conventions of my magazine, this tool also meant I was able to cut
pieces out of my images and make them look more realistic.
I used this spot healing brush tool to smoothen out the images I was
editing, this ensured that the images I choose to use looked
professional and made my magazine look more sophisticated and

2. realistic. By using this I could blur out any spots or marks on the
models face or other marks that were on the image when I took it.
I used this brush tool to change the colour of certain bits of my
images such as changing the colour of the back ground and also to
make sure parts of the image blended into each other such as the
bag my model is holding on his shoulder. This ensured my magazine
was able to follow the codes and conventions of the one I was
copying correctly.
I used this text tool so that I could add text to my magazine and so

3. that people could understand fully what my magazine was about by
typing the name, genre and bits of information that are inside it,
without using this tool I wouldn’t have been able to complete my
magazine as you need to have text on your magazine and also I
wouldn’t have been able to follow the codes and conventions of the
one I was copying.
I used this eyedropper tool to ensure I used the exact same colours
through my magazine, this made sure that I wasn’t getting confused
about what shade of red I used as it would save the colour I wanted
in the top right hand corner of the page and I could also save the
colour under the named I wanted to ensure I didn’t get confused
about what colour I saved.
