Editing Images.

Once I had chosen all the images out of the 142 that I had taken, I used 'Photo shop' to edit the pictures to make them look more professional. Using new technology like photo shop is very hard to get used too, and is very time consuming, but ends up making the pictures even better than the original images.

Step 1

I really love this image, as the positioning of the models, really emphasises the theme of a group band, creating a unique effect, as they are almost scattered in the frame instead of all being side by side, which creates an'edgy' look to the image. The downfall to the picture is the left side of the image contains part of the school building, instead of carrying on with the brick wall, which really lets the image down, so I decided to try and use photo shop to insert part of the brick wall to cover the unwanted gap.

Step 2

I uploaded the image to photo shop, and used the 'crop' tool, and took a copy of the brick wall on the right side of the image. I then dragged it over to the area I wanted the copy to fill. Unfortunately I didn't get further than that as I wanted the brick wall to sit behind the model instead of overlapping the model.

Step 3

I decided to try and create a 'Vignette' effect around the image to blur out the unwanted image of the school building in the gap. After trying this effect i began to really like it, as it makes you focus more to the image of the four silhouettes of the models. This effect also brings out the vintage 60's effect, but also modernising it as the shape is almost like the shape of an eye, to create focus.
