IMAGE 1

Opposite it shows my original image for the contents page. Seeing

as I didn’t need the background of the image, I used the

Magnetic Lasso Tool in order to crop around

my model, which would then just leave me of her, ready for me to manipulate later on.

IMAGE 1

Once I cropped the background, I created

a new layer, and pasted the image onto

that. Seeing as the cutting wasn’t neat enough, I used the

Eraser Tool to fix the edges of the image, which would make it look neater, leaving a smooth effect overall.

IMAGE 1

It now shows the image after I used the Eraser Tool to neaten the edges. I

then wanted to manipulate the

image by adjusting the brightness etc.

in order to do this, I clicked on Image at the top, and then

went into Adjustments, and

finally, into Levels, which allowed me to experiment with the

different levels of colour present

within the image.

IMAGE 1

After I added in an effect to the image, I

noticed that my model had a blue strap

showing, doesn’t go with the rest of the

outfit. To change this, I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to select the strap, so that I

could then change the colour.

IMAGE 1

It now shows that I used

Hue/Saturation to adjust the colour,

changing it to black, so that it

matches with the rest of the outfit.

IMAGE 1

Once I had manipulated the

image completely, I inserted it onto

the actual Contents Page. I then saw that it didn’t exactly fit

in well, as it didn’t look professional. You could clearly tell that I cropped

the image, and just placed it

randomly onto the page. I then

decided to use another image instead of this

one.

IMAGE 2

This is the second image that I decided to use for the

Contents Page. Again, I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to crop around the model,

which would exclude the

background.

IMAGE 2

Just like the other image, I had to change the blue strap into black, and I used the

same method as before to do this. I selected the strap, and changed the colour to black

using Hue/Saturation.

IMAGE 2

I then had to manipulate this

image, just like I did with the first one. I changed the levels

of the image. However, I also

used Colour Balance for this image, which I

didn’t use for the previous one. This allowed me to add more effects to the

image.

IMAGE 2

It now shows the final version of my image, which has been placed onto

the Contents Page. I also added in a shadow to the image, which

makes it look more effective. Evidently,

this image goes better with the

Contents Page than the last one. This is

also my final version of the

Contents Page.
