EDITED PHOTOGRAPHS

For my music magazine i had to manipulate images using photoshop cs4, to allow the phtoograph to appear more appealing and of a better quality. Throughout my magazine i manipulated every image.

BEFORE EDIT

The first image i manipualted was the cover image of Candy. This is the original copy, however the background colour was too dull and failed to fit with the colour theme i required. However the texture of the background was appearling. I wanted to make the background black and white whilst allowing Candy to remain in colour. By using photoshop i duplicated the layer of the photograph, i then turned the top layer into black and white. By using the magic wand tool, i selected candys outline and then pressed delete which removed her from the top layer and showed the bottom layer of her which was in colour. Therefore i created a black and white with colour picture to use for my cover. Below is the finished copy. However for my magazine i ahd to crop out some of the background to allow the phtoograph to fit the proportion of an a4 sized paper.

For my double page spread i also manipulated all of the images through using photoshop. During the photoshoot my camera broke, therefore i had the challenge of eliminating the lines and the purple tint within the pictures.

BEFORE EDIT


To edit the lines out i used the paint daub application which faded the majority of the lines out. I then increased the contrast withint he image which allwoed the shadows to stand out which then helped to disguise the remaining lines, it also helped to filter out the purple tint. I tehn increased the orange tone to allow the image to have a 70's feel.

For this image i manipulated it by applying paint daub application, which filtered out the white lines. I then increased the contrast level. This then added some shadows to the image whilst still allowing it to be light.

I liked this image as i created the idea of the band being ont he road and touring. However the background was distracting and didn't create the specific atmosphere. By using photoshop i used the magic wand tool and cut around the car and band/instruments. I then applied a black background to the image so when i applied the photograph onto magazine article it would look as though the band where placed onto the page.
