I have been spending some time editing a photo in photoshop. I have basically made a very basic front cover. For my first attempt i think it isn't bad, but obviously i will spend a lot more time on it. I think i have managed to grasp the basic aspects of photoshop, but with more practise i think my final piece has potential to look quite professional. When the photo was taken, i had a hairtye around my wrist, i wanted to get rid of this as it made the photo look quite tacky. I used the clone tool, to take the colour of other parts of my skin that were the same colour, and placed these bits of colour over the hairtye until you couldn't see it anymore. i thought the the picture would better in black and white, so i changed the colour format of the picture to grayscale. i added a little bit of text, just to get used to using the tool, and imported a barcode.
