FRONT COVER PICTURE

Here is the original picture taken on my digital camera, of my model. There are many things wrong with this picture. Firstly, the picture is slightly too short/low. I need to increase the length of the model in order to have the title behind the head of the model.
Also, there are a few spot on her forehead, which need to be erased, using the spot tool in Photoshop.
The background, although is a white background, is not entirely white. It is not the brilliant white seen on magazine front covers, and therefore needs to be changed.
I would also like to define her eyes slightly, including whitening the eyes, defining the circular iris of the eye, slight change of the catch light in her eyes, removal of the red eye.
Also her hair is quite messy, which is not something you see on the front cover of a magazine. Some of the loose hairs on her head should be erased.
I also want to touch up on her skin, her fake tan is too obvious, and therefore I want to make adjustments to the saturation, contrast and brightness of the image to make her skin look more natural.


Here is the edited picture. I have made all the necessary adjustment, which I mentioned earlier to the model. I have also made some additional changes to the model.
Not only have I elongated the model slightly, I have also made her slightly thinner on her waist, which has in turn increased the size of the models bust. This is atypical model seen on a magazine front page; slim with perfect skin and a large bust.
When I erased the background of the image, the darkness of her skin looked bizarre, so I had to lighten the model, as well as adjusting the saturation and contrast of the image.
I have also adapted on her eyes more; I got rid of the blackness under her eyes so that she does not look tired on the front cover and in replacement for this, I gave the model more eyelashes
I also gave the model a slight glow on the outline of the Model, to make her seem more airbrushed.
