ORIGINAL IMAGES AND THE FINAL EDITS

SKULL AND FLOWER IMAGE

To start off with the image, I used Polygonal Lasso Tool which helped me cut out the flower placed within the skull. After going all the way around that particular part of the image, I copied and pasted it so there was two layers within the Photoshop image.

I then went on to the Rectangular Marquee Tool after creating the new layer, and selected a certain area on the main background layer and used Crop in the image tab and then cropped it. This means that the small extra little bit of space which wasn’t necessarily needed has been taken away leaving me with a main focus within the image.

Again here, I still have the original background image layer selected and I have changed the coloured image to Black and White. I have only moved the Yellow arrow up slightly to make the skull a little bit more lighter.

To finish off my image, I used the Lens Corrector effect on filter to create a dark shadowy type effect within the corners of the image. I made the effect myself by going to custom and than changing the Vignette Amount and Midpoint.

For the final bit to my final edited image, I put the second layer back on top of the first layer which shows the bright pink flower clear on the black and white background.

FINAL EDIT

SKULL AND FLOWER IMAGE 2

To start off with in this image, I went to Image, Adjustments and then Vibrance which make the image look more pale than its bright original image. This has gave it a slight vintage look.

On this image, again I have used the effect Lens Corrector because this effect is one I like to use as it makes the image stand out a little bit more. It makes whatever is in the middle of the image, stand out more.

Then after applying the Lens Corrector effect, I then when to Image, Adjustments one more time and then went on to Colour Balance and slightly moved the Magenta colour to give off the vintage look.

FINAL EDIT

This is the final image of what the original image looks like after a little bit of editing has been added to it.

DOT MARTINS IMAGE

To start off with the editing of the Dot Martins, I have gone to Image, Adjustments and then Brightness/Contrast. By using this, I have enabled to make the shoes, go a more vibrant red which is more catching to the eye and makes them stand out a little bit more.

Then I went to Image, Adjustments and then Hue/Saturation several times. I have used this technique to change the colour of the shoes in many different ways and colours. I have done different colours to make each image different from the first which will create a wider range of an outcome.

For each individual image of the shoes, I went to Filter, Distort and then Lens Corrector because this effect is great to use for an image like this as it darkens the edges around the shoes and makes the actual colour of the shoes stand out even more. This will enable who ever is looking at it to focus more on what's in the middle of the image.

FINAL EDITS Here are the final edits of the Dot Martins I had photographed. Each of their own colour will the same technique and style added to them. There is a wide range of colour or what you could say ‘rainbow’ type and have all been a sorted to how the colours go together. Each colour is set to a vibrant look and is bold.

ROSE IMAGE

To start of the edit to this particular photograph, I went to Brightness/Contrast and then made the actual photograph a little bit brighter than it was and made the contrast higher to bring out the red within the rose.

After having done that, I went to Brightness/Contrast again to make the roses’ red stand out even more and make it into a more deep passionate red than a normal rose would be just by putting the contrast of the photograph higher.

To finish off my actual photograph edit, I went to Filter, Distort and then Lens Correction to add a darkened touch around the edges of the image which would make the viewes eyes focus more on the rose itself.
