Photo Shop Tutorial

Because i only know the basics of photoshop, i think that there is a lot of work to do on my photos still so i thought the best way to learn about what to do was to get a tutorial. i thought that the best way to do this was to go on youtube and watch a video. The video which i thought helped me the most was this one. It is quite long however i showed me all the basic tools on what to do and how to do it to make my photos as best as possible. 

This is a diagram of the tools which i mostly used. 

The main tools that i used for my final pieces was 
FRONT COVER: the clone tool for the main in the front cover. I also selected the eye and changed to colour to green to make it stand out more, and painted over parts of the face to enchant them, such as the nose and whitened the teeth. I sharpened and brought up the contrast on the overall picture. 


CONTENTS PAGE:there was not a huge amount of photoshopping tools i used for the contents page. I brought up the contrast by going on 'adjustments' and 'curves' but that was the main editing i did for this photo. 


DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD:for the double page spread i used the lasso tool and the magnetic tool to select her to het het her out of the background. I also again enchanted and brought up the curves of the photo. 

This is the magic wand tool. I used it a lot to select certain areas through similarities in colours. 

This is the curves tool which i also used a lot, i used it to change the contrast of the image.
