Editing my images

After I had picked my images, i then proceeded to edit them using photoshop.

These are my chosen images -

I edited this by making it brighter and cropping the background. I did this to make the image appear clearer and brighter, as it makes the image look more effective. I cropped the background to get rid of eye sores, such as the pipe work that can be seen in the original image.

For this image I did little editing, I re-sized and cropped it, also made it brighter. Though, if I were to edit it again, I would have not made it so bright, as the original image is quite bright, and by making the contrast higher, the paper the students are holding seemingly disappears. In future I will make sure to avoid this.

I found this picture very effective as the natural lighting is already very appealing, therefore I did not feel much editing was needed. I only cropped this picture.

This image required the most work. I first made it brighter as the original image was quite dark and dull, due to bad weather. I then used the lasso tool to cut around the boys; this took both time and effort. I made mistakes, such as cutting of parts of hair and body, I found this aspect difficult. When they had successfully been cut out from the background, I copied the image into the prospectus.

On the other variation of this image, I took the St Marks logo, and edited it, to make the title on my prospectus. On my logo, I edited the colours to make it lighter, as I felt it would suit the colour scheme of the prospectus.

Little editing was done for this image, I made it slightly brighter as the weather made the sky appear less bright, and I wanted it to appear sunny.

Overall, I found editing enjoyable and easily done, though I did come across difficulties and avoidable mistakes, I will make sure to avoid such mistakes in the future.
