Photoshopping Chloe

Step 1Step 1 of editing Chloe on Photoshop, I changed the colour of Chloe using the black and white tool button. After I changed the colour of the image I increased the contrast of the image. This then made the image darker being in black and white or lighter, by doing this it makes the black and white effect more interesting by it being more powerful or less harsh. I chose to change my image into black and white because I found it suited the image more than being in colour.

This is the Black and White tool I used to change the image into Black and White.

This is the tool I used to change the contrast of the colour of the black and white image. It is the tool called curves.

Step 2 This is a high key image because of this you could see a lot of detail in Chloe’s face things such like spots, freckles, lines. So to get rid of these details I used the patch tool, to use the patch tool you have to circle a fault say a spot and drag it to a clear part of the skin and then the spot will turn into that tone of the skin. I used this tool to also get rid of the black necklace round Chloe’s neck because I only wanted her to wear the gold cross, I found the black cord very messy as the chain which is meant to be at the black was at the front and it didn’t make the image look very professional. I also added more of a shadow under the lolly using the dodge tool and I added more of a shadow on Chloe’s eye shadow.

This is the dodge tool I used to add more shadows.

This is the patch heeling tool this is used to get rid of things such like spots.

Step 3I then added colour to the black and white image by using the brush tool and I lowered the opacity percentage of the colour. By lowering the percentage it makes the colour less powerful and makes it look more realistic, because it allows you to see the detail of the lips and lolly. I also cropped the image to focus more on Chloe.

This is the brush tool I used to add colour to certain features on the images e.g. lolly, necklace and lips

This is the crop tool I used to lose more background this made the image focus more on Chloe.

Final StepFor the final step of Photoshopping Chloe I duplicated her then flipped her horizontally. I done this by going to edit, transform and then flip horizontally. This then created a reflection of Chloe, by flipping Chloe it made the image more interesting because there is another use of different tools. The flipping of Chloe was the last affect I done and my image was then created

This is an image to demonstrate how I flipped Chloe.
