LO4: Evidence of editing (Blue Banner for DPS)

The first step of creating this graphic was to edit the initial RAW pictures by changing the contrast, temperature, tint and clarity. 

after making this change i used the polygonal lasso tool in order to Cut Abbie out of the image. This meant that i would be able to line the three images up without having white gaps between them.  

After removing the background i again edited the brightness and contrast again in order to make sure that the image would be clear when i changed the colour.

Here i have used the hue and saturation image adjustment tools (as well as the colourise option) to make the image into the shade of blue I wanted to. I wanted all of the three images i was going to use a different shade of blue, this one being the lightest. This meant another use of the brightness and contrast tools.

After applying these changes to all three of the images i wanted to use i applied some final changes. These included again changing the brightness again as well as the exposure both to make it more clear. I have also lined up all of the images in thew way i want them to appear in the magazine. 

With the editing of the images complete i saved them together as a Portable network graphic (PNG) file so that it could support the transparency of the graphic itself. (as that i have edited out the background.)

This is the final graphic made for the magazine.
