Magazine Photo Editing

Original Photo

Final photo

Stages of manipulation

This shows the original photo taken from the photo-shoot and the finished photo used on my magazine cover. The photo has had the background cut out of the photo which is typical conventional form seen in the magazine industrey especially in the high end market of magazines. I used the cut tool on photoshop to cut out around the image to allow this professional look to the photo as the background didnt fit into the colour scheme of the magazine layout.

After cutting the background of the image i used the face mask tool to help perfect the models faces on both male and female to make them look more glamours. This manipulation technique is another conventional form seen across the magazine industrey. I used the face mask tool as this helps work accuratly cover over marks on the face and i felt the best tool to use for the task.

I felt at this point after the masking manipulation technique and the cutting out of the background that the magazine still did not fit into the high end magazine caterogry so therefore changed the colour dimensions of the photo in the colour balence under tools. I highlighted the white and black colours in the photo and applied the grey scale to the photo. This technique was applied and help make the photo fit into typical magazine front covers seen within the high end of film magazines. This was the final aspect to the photo and the final manipulation stage to the photo.
