Second Editing of Photographs

I have chosen the images from my second photoshoot which I would like to use in my music magazine.

Staring Image:

First Edit:

I am half way through editing this image, I have changed the background and elements of the hair. I would like to use this image on my contents page or double page spread as the model is looking closer into the camera, creating a close mid shot.

Second Edit:

Final Edit:

 

Starting Image:

First Edit:

I have started to edit this image; as I would like to use this for my front cover, but as you can see I have not finished as the shadow behind the arms has not been removed. However, I have manipulated the hair, skin and aspects of the background to make the image clearer and more acceptable for a magazine cover. I have also copied a pattern from the models outfit onto her thumb nails, so it looks as if she has a pattern nail varnish to match her outfit. I have used tools such as, the clone, healing and red eye tool.

Final Edit:

 

After editing both of these images, one of them will appear on my front cover. I have edited two pictures to give myself a choice as to which would suit the page better, with the font etc.
