Model Editing

The task in this lesson was to further our knowledge of photoshop skills with learning techniques such as air brushing, changing hair and eye colour etc

this is the original photo of the model. there are certain imperfections and flaws that would need to be edited out for a magazine picture. the first step involves spot removal, using the spot healer tool

we can remove small spots and dent on the models face.

Then creating a new layer and using a Gaussian blur we can smooth over the appearance of more noticeable marks on her face.

we then use the eraser tool to go ever features such as eyes, ears, mouths, and the edges of the face to allow to stand out from the previously blurred face

The next stage is eye colour. we use the paint brush tool and select the desired colour. we then colour over the models eyes.

however this looks very unrealistic at this stage. so we go to layers and change the setting to soft light which allows the picture beneath to be see through it making it seem much more realistic

Photoshop Cloning

This was the original photo for a Photoshop exercise during week one of media studies. The task was to become adept at cloning items out of images.

This is the original un-edited version.

This is the finished product. The St. Marylebone has been cleared of the sign running down the length of the building. to keep the cloned effect consistent i used a large brush size which kept the colour the same all through the sign where as naturally slight shadows would have made the cloning look fake.

Ama was also cloned out of the picture. to do this a much smaller brush size was needed as the background behind her has several different stages. her head had brickwork behind it, her torso had railings and her feet had pavement. which required a closer attention to detail.
