Photo Editing

For all of my photos i used a combination of the quick selection and the magnetic lasso tool to remove any elements from the photos that i didn't want.



Cover Page
I have chosen two images for this page. I removed the background of he smaller image and gave it an inner and outer shadow to make the edges look smoother.

The next photo on this page was my cover image. I was happy with this image until i noticed one of the members look quite blurred compared to the others. To solve this problem i i got another version of this image where they didn't look as blurry and placed it on a layer underneath the original image. I then applied a layer mask and using the brush tool removed the blurred part of the image. I then lined it up and made the two images look like one image.

Contents Page
On this page i have quite a eight photos. After cutting them out of there original backgrounds i edited some of the by adding drop shadows and glows. This helped them blend into there new background better and made the edges of the image look smoother.

Double Page Spread
On this page i had three photos. I didn't need to edit them much but i wanted to place them on a black background and i want to make the edges of the image blend in to the background better. To do this i used the brush tool on the edges of the images. I reduced the opacity to give it a blending in effect.
