Creating picture for front cover

I used the Pen Tool in Photoshop to cut out the background and floor from a photo, focusing only on the subject. The Pen Tool allows clicking points around the subject to create a path, which can then be used to delete the areas outside and isolate the subject. This cropping process zoomed in and out as needed and resulted in a cleaned image of just the subject to use on the magazine cover.
Creating picture for front cover
- 1. Creating picture for front cover.
- 2. This was what my image looked like at the start, and I decided the background and the floor wouldn’t create an effective look on my front cover, therefore I decided to cut around them, focusing on the framing.
- 3. Here it shows how the Pen Tool works. I clicked on the first part of the image where I wanted to start and end my cropping, dragging up until I need to change direction. I carried on doing this round the whole image, and once finished I linked the two finishing lines together, clicked on my Work path and then delete. I used the Pen Tool on Photoshop to cut around my image, zooming in and out to focus on different parts of the image.
- 4. This was the final outcome once I had cut around them all. I then dragged and dropped this image into another Photoshop window where I had started my magazine.
