Editing photos

This is the original picture for my front cover. Firstly I removed the background to make it transparent over the black background of my magazine. This took some time due to the fine strands of hair especially at the bottom where I tried several different methods of cutting around it to make it look as natural and realistic as possible. I then airbrushed her skin getting rid of bags under her eyes and some minor blemishes/wrinkles in the skin. I slightly brightened the colour of her hair for a more daring look and also make her lips a more even pink colour. The photo below is the final image.

This is the original picture for my contents page. For this photo I simply removed the background so it will be transparent against the black background of the contents page, I also enhanced some of Pippa's facial features. 

This is the origional picture for my double page spread. I expanded the curtain so that it covered the whole background. I then did some minor arbrushing on Alice's face. The picture below is the final image I will use.

This is the origional secondary picture for my double page spread. All I have done is slightly airbrushed her face to get rid of bags under her eyes and to perfect her features. The picture below is the final image I will use. I didnt remove the backgrounds from these images as it makes them look very plain on a double page spread to have a block colour background. The white sheet helps put accorss the point that she is just a normal girl and she as not at all inot glamour or being perfect.
