1. Editing my images – Being
creative – Technology used

2. Editing my images
I edited my images in two different forms of software. As I had used Photoshop before I felt
comfortable in being able to edit my images well that would be used for my poster. As well as using
Photoshop I also used Pixlr Express, this enabled me to use high quality effects that would make my
images look as effective on my poster. Although I was comfortable when using Photoshop I felt that
the tools I was able to use and the editing effects that were available on Pixlr were much more
advanced and useful. Both pictures were edited using Pixlr although the picture to the left was
edited first on Photoshop.
Whilst using Pixlr as said before I used the express version. Which looked like
the picture to the right once I had opened my image. I used a variety of
different effects, mainly using the focal tool, as I wanted to focus on the eye
and the face of the character on both images being able to lose less focus on
the background made the image stand out a lot more. The vibrance and
contrast sections were used on the images as well to create a darker effect
behind the character but lighten up the main image. Also only on the image on
the right I airbrushed the characters forehead. This was because of lose hairs
from her head and it took the intensity of these being seen and softened it.
When editing my images I was creative in
the sense that the angles that the
pictures were taken in were unique and
the way the character was positioned
wasn’t in an obvious way. I was also
creative by editing the left image first on
Photoshop so I could get some effects of
there, for this I used the colour balance
this enabled the character to look and
auburn yellow colour which I then edited
again on Pixlr. Making my images still
look realistic was done by using the Pixlr
Express editing.

3. • My final images that I have used using both Photoshop and Pixlr are above. I have tried to be creative during the use of this
software by taking advantage of the different tools that were available and using the express version of Pixlr. By mixing up
the colour balance and changing the contrast enabled me to be creative and try out different effects on the image. Trying to
stick to the horror genre having the images darkened and bright in different areas allowed the image to still create this
feeling and in some what come across as scary. For the image used on my poster, editing it first on Photoshop was a big
advantage because I was able to make the image look old and more dirty colours, moving then on to edit it in Pixlr the more
professional tools like airbrushing and focal were available to make the images look more effective.
