Editing photos

I had to change the background photos of my pictures in order for them to be the same on the front cover. To do this i had to;

I first had to use the magnetic lasso tool to select the area i wanted to change the colour of.

To do this i had to go around all the picture, this was just a basic cut out of the picture i then had to do go around with the magnetic lasso tool again to select the bits i missed.

As i already had an image with the specific colour i wanted. I used the eyedropper tool to find out what specific colour the image background was.

I used the eye dropper tool on this image to get the same background.

I then had to use the gradient tool and select the same colour so i could fill in the background.

This is what it looked like after. I then had to go back round the image to make my editing look professional.

This is what the photo looked like once it had been completed properly. This photo has also been put on my final magazine.

I have learnt a lot from this process, as if i just kept the background the same i don't think my photos would look professional so by changing the background colour of a few of the images the audience can see a constant pattern rather than just photos of models where ever i could find to take them.
