LO4 - Stereotypical Hipster edited photos

First edit

This is the original image I chose to edit.

I then zoomed in on Kayla's face and got rid of spots/blemishes using the spot healing brush tool, as well as this I also used it to get rid of particularly prominent water droplets on her glasses.

I duplicated the background and then used the magnetic lasso and quick selection tool to get rid of everything besides Kayla on the second layer so I could sharpen her.

Then I used auto contrast to slightly alter the levels of Kayla in the image.

After this I returned to the background layer and used the radial blur so that everything further away from Kayla in the image was less in focus.

Third edit

This is the original image I used.

I duplicated the background layer and then used the lasso and quick selection tool to remove everything except Kayla from the latest layer. Then I used the 'pointilize' filter to break up the image of Kayla.

I played around with the pointilize effect on Kayla for a little while until I decided I preferred a larger cell size. I then went onto the background image and used the same effect but on a smaller cell size so there was a bubbly effect to the image.

 Third edit

This is the original image I started with.

Then I used auto tone to try and brighten up the picture of Kayla so it looked more saturated. After this I used the filter 'dry brush' to give the image the slight effect of an oil painting.

Finally I cropped the image to get rid of the blurring at the edge caused by water droplets on the camera; I did not entirely get rid of the blur as I still wanted the image to be landscape so could not crop it down too much.

Fourth edit

This is the original image I started with.

I zoomed in on Kayla's face and used the spot removal tool to get rid of any spots/blemishes on her face, and then used the lasso tool to create a second layer with only Kayla on it.

Then I selected the background layer and used the 'dust and scratches' filter to smooth out the wall behind Kayla. 'Adaptive wide angle' was then used to add more of a curve to the wall.

Finally I selected the layer just including Kayla and sharpened her.
