Removing green background
Before After
Here I have removed the green background. To do this I uploaded the image onto Photoshop then I duplicated the layer just in case I went wrong. To remove the background I made sure I was on the duplicated layer then I used the quick selection tool to remove the big green sections then to remove the small areas of green and other green bits like around the models/ artist arm I used the pollygonal lasso tool. So now there is no background and I can therefore add another background that would look suitable on my front cover.
Changing nail colour
Before After
I decided I wanted to change the model/ artist nail colour because she was wearing a light pink and this does not match my colour scheme so therefor I decided to change it so that they blended with my colour scheme. To change the colour I opened up a new layer and named it nails so that I knew which layer it was when changing it in the future. After opening a new layer I selected the brush tool then selected the appropriate colour and covered the nails. When I had done this the nail colour didn't look realistic so I changed the opacity to 65% now it looks more natural and the colour matches the colour scheme.
Changing lip colour
Before After
The models lips looked very boring as the colour of lipstick was not shown, so I decided to change the lip colour so that the model/ artist looked more well groomed. To change the lip colour I opened up a new layer and named it lips so that I knew which layer it was in case I had to change it in the future. After opening a new layer I selected the brush tool then selected the appropriate colour and covered the lips. When I had done this the colour of the lips didn't look realistic so I changed the opacity to 40% so now it looks more natural and the colour also matches the colour scheme.
Editing skin
Before After
On the image the model/ artist face and bust area has shadows on her skin therefore it doesn't look very professional I believe so I have decided to edit her skin to remove the shadows. To edit the shadow on her skin I opened up a new layer and named it 'skin' so that in the future if I ever need to make changes to her skin I can find the skin layer easily. Then after opening a new layer I selected the brush tool then I selected the colour options and instead of trying to find a colour to match her skin I just selected part of her skin using the colour tool therefore I had a colour that matched her skin and therefore it blends well with the other parts of her skin. After selecting my colour I used the brush tool and covered the shadow areas around her bust and her face.
Changing brightness/ contrast
Before After
I was experimenting with the brightness, contrast and balancing of the colours. I did this because I wanted to see how good or bad the image would look. I believe that adjusting all of these made the photo look more professional and also they stand out more than the original image. To change the Contrast and the Brightness I made sure that I was on the duplicated main image layer. Then when I was on the layer I selected the image tab from the options above and from there I selected the adjustment option then brightness/ Contrasts option. I adjusted the Brightness to -15 so that the model had a healthy glow to her skin and then I changed the contrast to 24 from this the colour of the models shirt became all more vibrant. So from changing the the brightness and contrast I believe the model stands out a bit more so therefore the image will be eye catching for my audience.
