Editing
1. Before Ibeganeditingthe image properlyIcopedthe image downtothe size of the magazine usingthe crop
tool.Thiswas sothat any editingIdothat isn’twithinthe square won’tbe wasted.
I thenusedthe curvestool to increase the
exposure of the image tobalance outthe
shadows.Due to the fact that I am usingthe
shadowstoportray the aggressivenessof the
subjectImade sure that I didn’tincrease the
curvestoo muchto lessenthiseffect.
Due to the fact thatcurveswasn’tmaking
the highlightsbrightenoughIthenused
the tool brightnessandcontrast.I
increasedthe contrastslightlytoexpose
the highlightsmore andtolightenthe
shadowsslightly.Ididthisbecause the
colourscheme of my magazine isred,
white andblackso the shadowsand
highlightsof thisimage reflectsit.
2. Afterincreasingthe exposure Ibegantoadjustthe
colourof the subject.Thiswasbecause the lightingof
the softbox hasmade him lookwashedoutandpale,
therefore Ibegantoadd red/orange hue to make him
lookerwarmerandvibrant.I didthisdue to the
connotationsof warmcoloursbeingaggressivenessand
violence therefore illustratinghischaracterof the indie
rock genre further.
WhenI increasedthe red/orange hue itbecome
too dark soI usedthe vibrance tool to give him
more colour.
The last piece of editingIdidwasby increasingthe
vibrance anddecreasingthe saturationtobalance
out the colourwithinhisface sohe doesn’tlooktoo
orange and overedited.Ialsousedthe brushtool
