Digipak: Editing images, step-by-step

After selecting the images I wanted to use on the front cover of my digipack, I had to edit them out. Here is proof of my step-by-step editing, which images and a brief explanation of what I did to create the final effect.

At first I opened the image in Photoshop and went to 'image', 'mode' and selected 'CYK'.

I then went to 'channels', un-selected the yellow and black channel to receive the effect as seen above.

Next, I went to 'adjustments', selected the brightness and changed it to 165.

After, I went to 'photo filter' and adjusted it until I liked the effect, I ended up keeping it at 35%.

To adjust the contrast, I selected 'brightness and contrast' and changed contrast to 12%.

I then amended the following:

Hue -7

Saturation +11

Lightness +4

At the very end, I used the crop tool to crop and readjust the grid (positioning) of the image to make it straighter. I saved the final image and plan to use it on my front cover of the digipack.

This is proof of editing and also a step-by-step guide of how I reached my final images.
