2. Removal of the background
To remove the green screen
background from my model, the
Background Eraser Tool was the most
appropriate tool to use to edit out the
green screen away from the majority
of the body. To avoid erasing any of
the model, adjusting the Tolerance
was the answer to most of the body,
excluding the hair.
To remove the outer background
around the side of the image, the
Eraser Tool was efficient as the
Background Eraser Tool detected too
many different shadows and colours
to erase quickly.
3. There were two ways in
which I could achieve this.
The first method is by
selecting then Polygonal
Lasso Tool and drawing the
outline of the part of the
hair I wanted to keep.
Right clicking this
highlighted section and
choosing Refine Edge... I
could have smoothed out
the hairline.
4. The second method I
decided to use, was again
using the Eraser Tool, but
to avoid sharp edges in
the hairline, changing
the Brush type to a Soft
Round Style
To smoothen out the
sharp erased partings of
the hair, I used the Blur
tool.
5. To make the feathered
hairline style match all
around, I used the Clone
Stamp Tool to replicate
the appearance of the
blurred hair on this
section.
To enhance facial
features, such as teeth
and eyes, the Burn Tool
and the Dodge Tool
allowed me to lighten
and darken features.
6. To even out uneven skin
tones, I used the Spot
Healing Brush Tool.
I could have also selected a
section of skin I wanted to
air brush, and filtered a
Gaussian Blur effect to give
an air brushed look.
7. To ensure my picture of
my star would fit an A4
format, I opened a new
Spot Healing Brush Tool.
I could have also selected
a section of skin I wanted
to air brush, and filtered a
Gaussian Blur effect to
give an air brushed look.
8. To superimpose my masthead
behind my stars head. I simply drag
and dropped the layers I wanted in
my preferred order in the layers
pallet.
