We had to find the text of the actual magazine, because we were not able to use picture titles. We had to place things and find texts to make it look like what an actual magazine would look like.

Flawless Skin


This project was a photo repair. The objective of the project was to take the picture of the girl, and give her flawless skin, while adding makeup. In this project, we used the patch tool to get rid of the glare on her forehead, and the healing tool to get rid of all of her blemishes. Then, we blurred her face to make it look smoother, using the gaussian blur tool. Using the eraser we erased parts of the blurs to get the details back. To add makeup, we used hue/ saturation, plus the brush tool, to add makeup where we felt was needed.

Handsome Guy









Handsome guy is a photo repair project. In this photo, we photoshopped the "handsome man" to look younger and less tired. We were able to do this, by making his wrinkles look less deep, change the eye color, and brighten his teeth. We used the cloning stamp tool to smooth out his wrinkles and then changed the opacity to make it seem less. Next we quickmassed his teeth, and then made them whiter by using the dodge tool. Lastly, we changed his eye color, by using apple u. We changed the hues and saturation of the color, and made his eyes pop.

Rappelling


The rappelling project was a photo repair project. In the rappelling project, we learned how to manipulate the history pallet. We took a snapshot of the original photo, and then we duplicated the picture, moving it to the bottom, we were able to create a contrast of the difference of the before picture and the after picture "dbl up". After that we took a snap shot of both pictures. Then we took out the holes in the wall and the tag. We labeled that pallet as "no holes". Then we took that picture and used the text masking tool, and moved it vertically. We added the text to the tool, and took the history brush, and added the holes back to the right side of the picture.

Crew


The Crews Photo was a photo repair project. In crew, we took a picture that was ripped on the left corner, and we duplicated it. One was the original, while the other one was the one we fixed up. In this project, we got rid of the rip and filled it in with the cloning stamp. We also got rid of the wave and the boat in the top right corner. To get rid of half the wave, we tried out the patching tool, and for the other half including the boat we used the cloning stamp tool. Lastly, we added the word crew using the horizontal masking type tool, we added levels to make it contrast the water, and make it visible. Lastly we added a layer to the type.
