The document describes the steps taken to recreate a photo from Butlins using various Photoshop editing tools and effects. The recreation involved adjusting brightness, contrast, color balance, selective color, cloning elements, adding texture and grain, and applying blur and vignetting to match the tones, colors, and visual qualities of the original photo. The final steps were to place the original photo above the recreated photo and rotate the recreation upside down to create a mirroring effect.

1. Second recreation – Butlins
Photo

2. Original picture I am recreating
First I use the brightness and contrast effect.
Because the original images is quite dark I used
this effect to make my picture darker by turning
both the brightness and contrast down.

3. Next I used an effect called replace colour. I
used this so that I could make the bright colours
in my recreation picture like the red coat and
the glow from the sun darker. It gave my picture
a duller look.
I used the selective colour effect, this
made the red blazer look the darker
red it is in the original picture.

4. The next effect I used was called colour balance. I used this to
make the background and my whole image more dark blue
and green like in the original.
Next I used the clone stamp tool
to copy some of the dark grass
from the original picture and
colour it over the grass on my
recreation so that it will have the
same dark grass in some parts.

5. I then used the clone stamp tool again to copy the pavement in
my recreation picture and just make it cover up the grass in the
picture. I did this because I wanted it to look more like the original
with the grass on the left and all pavement on the right hand side.
I used an effect called levels next to give the
whole picture and the bits I’d edited darker.

6. I used the colour balance again to make sure all the bits I had edited were also dark like
the original picture. I focused on the cyan and blue bars to make my picture more green
and blue like the original.
Then I used the lens correction effect on my
picture. I changed the amount of vignette on
my picture and turned it up. This gave my
picture dark corners coming into the picture.

7. Next I used a texture effect called grain to give my picture
an aged look. The original was a bit blurry and grainy so I
think this effect worked well on my recreation.
The I added the Gaussian blur effect to give my
whole picture a blur just like the original. In the
original picture the face and the detail in the
picture is blurred and not very defined so I copied
this when editing my picture.

8. Then to give my mirroring effect I rotated
I the placed both images on a new the recreation picture so it was upside
Photoshop document and I resized down compared to the original.
both images so they was the same
size and I put my recreation below
the original.
