Before using any of the photos for the digipak, there are some bits that I needed to edit and correct to make it look better on Photoshop. On each photo I have edited the brightness and contrast of the photo to make it brighter and more professional looking. The trick to this is to create a paler face to make it seem airbrushed naturally. This also enhance the boldness of the photos with its good quality.
The face may seem quite flawless after you turn the brightness up but there are always some blemishes or spots that will still be there to make the face appear to be a little bumpy. Here I have used the spot healing brush tool to edit out the freckles on her nose and her cheeks near her eyes. This will further allow her to appear to be perfect and flawless.
Other than the subject itself, there will be some things that could be corrected in the background or around her. In this particular photo, there are some holes in the background we used so I again used the spot healing brush tool to cover it up.
In some of the photos her lipstick may be slightly imperfect from the dryness or it has started coming off so I have selected the colour of her lips and painted it over her lips with a paint brush on a new layer. After getting it accurately painted, you will see that it appear to be too fake and artificially edited therefore I have lowered the opacity of that layer to something like 30-50% so the original texture of her lips still show through along with the colour enhancement.
Another editing point may be the dark circles under her eyes. I have used the healing brush tool to fix this by selecting a section around that area by pressing 'alt' and slowly painting over those darker areas to brighten it up. This will also allow her face to appear cleaner and less tired.
These photos could also be used for the website too and that will keep the consistency of the website and digipak.
