Due to the lighting of the shot the lighter underwear is visible. Again this was solved using the ‘Clone Stamp’ and selecting the thickness and softness of the paintbrush. As there is a pattern on this dress I had to be very careful to make it all

blend in and managed to do so by selecting an area that the correct distance from the area I wanted to amend.

Again the lighting and use of flash photography caused ‘red-eye’ to occur. As the shot wasn’t a close up I decided to select a colour from the original eye using the ‘Eyedropper Tool’ and colouring the iris in along with a small black circle for each of the pupils.

To make them look slightly brighter I chose a teal blue and blended it in a little using the ‘Mixer Brush Tool’.

This area of stray hair became rather tricky to remove. I used the ‘Eyedropper Tool’ to select a colour from her complexion

and then used the ‘Mixer Brush Tool’. As I began to blend it out I realised that it didn’t match up with the rest of her skin as there were many tones across the face therefore I chose to blend in all of the skin which still kept the shadows of the

features in place. I did this for the legs, hands and neck too and selected different brush sizes for each area to make it

smoother.

This piece of hair looked out of place and so I used the ‘Brush Tool’ and the same colour as the background to

paint it out.

Once I had made all of these

amendments I decided to make a

few additional changes to the

image to enhance it for the film

magazine cover.

I used the ‘colour replacement tool’ to change the hair colour as I felt it was dull.

I used the ‘Brush Tool’ again to drop her shoulder slightly to make her look more casual and relaxed.

I used the ‘Brush Tool’ to get rid of the excessive dress. This now shows off the shape of the model more.

I painted around the entire outline of the model with a ‘Brush Tool’ and increased the softness of the edges. This gives the effect of a light glow and looks much smoother.

I defined the eyebrows and cheeks a little more by using the ‘Mixer Brush Tool’ and blending it in. I also used this to create the effect of false eyelashes.

I used the ‘Clone Stamp’ again to take out the excess cardigan which I felt looked scruffy and out of place.

Overall I am very pleased with my final image as I feel it will fit in well with my template for my

magazine front cover. I had never used the Photoshop software to

this extent before but I feel I have really developed my skills and

been able to produce and improved final image.
