Editing Photo




In todays media lesson, we had to edit our nature pictures that we took earlier using photoshop. On the left is one of the original pictures that i took using a camera. In this blog i will be showing a step to step guide on how I edited my picture. 

To start with my editing, I decided that my picture needed a more brighter natural colour to it. I decided to go for a brighter green to brighten the atmosphere. To do this, First i clicked on the enhance button at the top of the page and then adjust colour. Then colour variations. This allowed me to choose from a range of colours for my picture.



I also added a fish to my image so that it didnt look empty. To do this, first i had use the magnetic lasso tool to crop the picture of a fish out of it original image.
 


After doing this, I was now able to move the croped section to my nature background.


 I also added text to my front cover. This text informed my viewers of what the name of my magazine was and also informed them of what was inside. To add add text, First I click on the text button. After I did this, I could then manipulate the direction on my text. For example, icould make it curvy or vertical.

  1. This is a good start Eddy. A fantastic original image! You seem to have got the hang of photoshop and begin to demonstrate your skills. Think about the format of a traditional magazine front cover. Could you have included the price and perhaps an incentive like a free gift for your target audience? Something to bear in mind for the future. On the whole, this looks promising.
