Photos & Editing

These are the photos i have used throughout my main task, some of them in order to use had to be edited, such as cutting out the main image and creating a white background so that it would look more professional and appealing. And croping the picture so that any unnecessary parts of the picture wouldn`t be included.

These two pictures i used on my front cover. I first decided to use just the first picture but to cut out the model and use the image with a white background, i did this but using the magnetic lasso tool and then smoothing the edges after i then moved the picture onto a white background and adjusted the colour slightly of the top using the hue. Then i was happy the way the image looked. Once i moved the image on my front cover and re sized it to fill the page like my first idea it didn`t look right and gave the cover a different look to what i wanted. So i decided to stick with the image but re sized it so it looked right which was done by making it slightly smaller and keeping it to one side of the page. Then i decided to use the other image as well this was a little more difficult to use without editing, so first i cut out as much of my model as i could with the magnetic lasso tool and feathered the edges which gave it a blurred look around the edge then i moved it onto a white background and fitted the image onto my cover in the space next to the other image this looked better than the first time round.


I used the picture of the guitar as my logo, which was the picture i edited the most. First i cut out the picture because i didn't need the background as the setting the picture was taken in didn't really seem appropriate and a white background would look more appealing. Then i feathered the picture and smooth the edges which got rid of the jagged edges caused when cutting around the picture.

Before i changed the background of the picture, i adjusted the lighting and contrast of the guitar to make it look more appealing and brighter. Then i transferred the picture onto the white background and decided that it looked a lot better than it did.

After i had changed the background, i reduced the size of the guitar seeing as it was being used as the logo and couldn't be as big as it was. After i was happy with the size i added text and completed my logo.
