In this lesson we looked at all of the different ways of editing images and tried using the Face Tune app which can change the look of someone completely depending on how many of the tools you use.
When we was trying the app out in our groups we wanted to make subtle changes as we don't think models should have such drastic changes made to their appearance.
With the image of Simona we chose to crop the image to get rid of more of the negative space. We also chose to give the image a Black and White (with a silver tint) filter as it meant that the image looked softer and also made her skin look more radiant.
We smoothed out the skin also to make the skin appear more even as the colour of the skin was a little uneven in the original image.
We decided also to erase the dark circles under the eyes as they looked quite harsh with the black and white filter we chose earlier on.
With the image of Justine not many changes were made as we run out of time which showed us that when in the process of post production we need to give ourselves enough time to ensure we get it done to the best of our ability.
With this image we gave it a Sunset lighting filter to intensify the colour of her hair and this also brightened up the skin.
We as a group also decided to add some contouring onto the cheeks and jaws which then lead to us having to smooth the contour lines as it came out quite harsh at first.
The problem with photoshop and retouching images is that it has become difficult to know how far you can actually go and there are too many false representations of women making people feel as if they should live up to these unachievable expectations. The difference made with photoshop are shocking as it can change how someone looks completely which can kill the models confidence.
