Digipack final: Editing images, step by step

This is a second image I edited for my digipack, after deciding that I will use the artist on the cover. I opened the image in Photoshop. I used the ‘crop’ tool to get rid of any ‘dead’ and unnecessary space.

Next I adjusted the brightness (to +17) and contrast (to +12) as the image was quite dark.

Then, using the ‘spot healing brush’ tool I zoomed in on the image and got rid of any blemishes and spots.

I used the ‘colour replacement’ tool on the eyes of the actress. This helped to deepen the colour of her eyes, making them really stand out and thus captivate the audience.

I then adjusted the brightness (to +41) and contrast (to -29) further, to make the image even brighter.

However, after adjusting the brightness and contrast, the image turned a bit yellow. Using the hue, saturation and lightness helped me get rid of that as I adjusted them to: Hue +2

Saturation-4

Lightness -2


Once again, here is a quick and simple step-by-step of how I achieved my final effect on the image that I've used in my digipak.
