editing middle page photogaraphs

 Firstly I used the quick select tool to make new layer, so I can edit the drum kit without the background.












Through the clear plastic in the drum kit, the       music room classroom was still visible. Meaning  that the illusion of the band being in a studio or  performance would be effected. So by quick      selecting this area and making a new layer, I      could adjust the brightness and contrast to           make the school posters look less visible but to resemble similar to reflections of the drum kit.

To make the image easier to edit, I used the cropping tool to make the image smaller so I could focus more on the drum kit.

I clicked on to the layer of the drum kit and adjusted the warmth, saturation, brightness and highlights in the  image. I did this because it will make the image stand out more, also the vibrancy of the image will be more welcoming to the reader and this page of the magazine will be read by more people.

Finally, I wanted to cut out the background, so by hiding that layer, I was able to see the background that was visible when I quick selected the image. Therefore by using the rubber tool, I erased the parts of the image that I didn't want to be seen. This gave the image a more finished and professional look.

Firstly, I turned the models and the guitar in to separate layers, So I could edit the tone of the picture separately.

For the guitar, I wanted the guitar to be eye catching by adjusting the colour.
I wanted there to be less of a contrast in the guitar so the reflection of the light would be less obvious. This would make the picture look more professional. Also, I wanted to make the instrument brighter so it would stand out more against the models black clothing.







Then I adjusted the warmth and brightness of the models so they stand out more. Using the          stamp tool and the blur tool, I cleared their skin   of any spots or uneven skin tone to make the photograph look professional.

I decided to use the stamp tool to edit the white background because the backdrop was dirty fro past photo shoots. So by clearing the dirt it made the background look cleaner and more professional.

In addition, the backdrop was still dirty, so using the blur tool, I could use a variety of blurring textures to blend the background so it looks cleaner.

editing contents page photographs

Firstly I imported the picture and used the cropping toll to cut out the unwanted background, so there would be more focus on the models. Then I used the quick select tool to make the models into a new layer.

Then to make the edges tidy, I used the erase tool to rub out any remaining visible back ground. This means that the Picture will look more neat and professional once adjusted and edited, because if I decide to include the background, any parts that were included in this layer will be different from the rest of the background and this will make the photograph look poorly edited.

After I turned it into a new layer, I adjusted the tone of the models. I made them look warmer, had a larger contrast and gave the image more saturation. The effect of these adjustments is that the image will introduce to the reader a friendly atmosphere because warmer tones traditionally remind people of summer with a positive influence.

Additionally, I wasn't happy with the models clothes as they did not stand out. Therefore, I made the clothes into a new layer and adjusted their tone.

I made the contrast greater and made them more saturated so the clothes would compliment their skin complexion more. Also, the clothes adjustments meant that they stood out against the models faces so it directed the attention on the reader towards their facial expressions. The effect of this is that the reader will be more intrigued in the bands image and are then more likely to read the article in the magazine.

In addition, I wanted to make the models eyes stand out in order to make eye contact to the reader.  Therefore I wanted to enhance the models eyes by modifying the colour balance. With this I could make their eye colour warmer or colder. However, I made their eye colour brighter so they would standout and I made the colour of them warmer so they would match the tone of the rest of their bodies.

Furthermore, since I had changed the clothes of the models to appear darker in comparison to their skin, I adjusted the models hair to match the darkness with the clothes. The effect of this is that the dark tone acts as a border to direct the attention of the reader around the models faces; as the faces of the models will immediately get most attention.

I was not happy with the background because dirt and mud, from previous photo shoots, was visible. So, in order to make a cleaner and neater background, I used the stamp tool to erase large marks. This meant that the dirt is less obvious- making the picture look more professional.

Finally, adding to the background, I wanted to make it warmer to match the same tone as the models. This means that it is less obvious that the models have been photoshopped and makes the picture, as a whole, look more natural.

                                                                                For the next photograph, I wanted the model to    look like a female soul singer to add to older atmosphere of the magazine. I made the model  wear a red blouse, to have painted her nails red and to also wear a red lipstick. This is because the prop had a red lead so the colours would reflect of each other to make a border and direct the readers attention. Additionally, the colour red is traditionally a provocative colour so will get more attention.

I had already made the model in to a new layer and edited the tone of her to make her warmer.
So I decided to adjust her hair by making is more saturated, the effect of this is that it will match the tone of the rest of her body.

As the model was wearing a variety of red, I decided to make the colours match so the effect would be greater. I did this by adjusting each red layer with the image adjustment format, and made them warmer, more highlighted and have greater saturation. I did this so it will also match the tone of the rest of her body.

editing front cover picture

 Firstly when editing my front cover image on photoshop I needed to use the crop tool to cut out some of the background, in order to focus more on the models.






                                                     
                                                                                     Once I'd cropped my photograph, I used the

 quick selection tool to torn the models in to a new layer.  After this, to get a finer edge around the models, I used the rubber and changed its size to rub out any background that was visible in the picture.





As soon as I was happy with the edges around      the models. I wanted to edit the warmth,     brightness and saturation of the image.
 Therefore I selected the layer of the
 models and hovered
 the mouse over 'Image' and scrolled down
 to 'Adjustments,'
 where a list of things to change were available.





Once editing the tone, I decided to remove any marks on the models skin and on the white          background. I did this by using the stamp tool to make the picture look more professional.

Also, I added a gradient to enhance the light direction included in the high angle I used for this picture. This means that the picture will stand out more and the white title that will be included will contrast more against the picture.
Additionally, it will give more of a mysterious effect that adds to the serious facial expressions the models are showing. This means that the reader will be interested in the band as they will want to know why the magazine has portrayed                                                                                          the band in this way.
