The two main images which could be my front cover

Original photograph

To make my original photograph look more professional and like a front cover picture I took the following steps:-

1.       I cropped the picture to just have the main picture and only apart of the background showing.

2.       I wanted the main image to stand out, focusing on the sunset, the pink lips and the glasses. I did this by brightening up the photograph.

This is my original photo. I changed my photo by

1.       Cropping the picture to just get the main image in.

2.       To add a new layer, create a different layer. This is for the main image on one of the layers and then the background would be on the other one.

3.       To cut the main image use the quick selection tool bar on the left hand side of the page.

4.       After I finished capturing the image with the cut tool, the went to edit and press cut.

5.       On the right hand side click on the layer which you want to change.  Go image, adjustment and then black and white. This has changes the background to black and white.

6.       The last thing that I did was brighten up the main image. I did this by going to image, adjustment, brightness and contrast and moving the icons to how bright I wanted the main image to be.
