This is the start of the magazine cover we are making. We started off by extracting the main image using a combination of the magnetic lassoo and magic wand tools. Extraction is probably the main skill on Photoshop as nothing will look right if the image is not correct. We enlarged the image and really took our time to make sure that we got as smooth an extraction as possible. We needed to do this to put a different image in as a background. After the extraction we blurred around the image to make all the edges look smooth as once they were cut they had rather harsh cut lines. Then we added a slight drop shadow which helps to create a more 3-D effect. Once we had done this we put a white to black fade background on the image to highlight where we had missed edges on the extraction or did not rub out little pieces of the initial picture.
