Final Images

1.

This is my first final image, I chose this because I think that the plain white background makes what's in the picture stand out more. At first the composition of this photograph wasn't great as you could see things around the white board so I decided to edit it using Photoshop. I really like this photograph, but the only criticism I would give is that it is shot from above so you can't really see the cup properly and also the sugar has the fairtrade logo on it so the company may not use the image because of this.

 

The first thing I did was to crop the image using the crop tool. I then edited the brightness and contrast of the image by going to Image>Adjustments>Levels and Image>Adjustments>Curves.

All of the images that are entered into this competition need to be A4 size and 300dpi so I then selected File>New then international paper and set it to A4 and made the resolution 300 then clicked 'OK'.

I then used the move tool to drag my image on to the A4 template. It didn't fit perfectly so the next step was to select Edit>Transform>Scale and drag the corner of the image to resize it whilst holding shift to keep it in proportion. Once I was happy that the image fit the A4 template correctly I selected Layer>Flatten Image so that both layers would merge in to one layer, I then saved it.
