The background on my image wasn't great and I decided that I wanted to change it on photoshop.
1. I carefully used the rubber tool to cut around the model and the floor making sure I didn't rub out anything that I needed.
2. I selected the gradient tool and opened the option box.
3. I selected two different tones of grey's to make it look like there was light from one side when I had taken the photo.
4. I drew a horizontal line across the screen and this created the gradient that I had intended.
5. I then had to drag the layer with the gradient on to the bottom of all of the other layers so that it acts as the background.
I didn't think the carpet-look looked very good on my double page spread and though that I would change the flooring to a more aesthetically pleasing one - laminate.
1. I cut out the floor from my image using the rubber too.
2. I looked up images of hard wood flooring on Google and came across this one.
3. I dragged in into my file and placed the layer under the other layers.
4. I then rotated, stretched and warped it so that it was positioned in a way that looked like it had always been there.
5. I then got the clone stamp and went over the remaining original background on the image.
6. It looks like I haven't even changed the floor!
