Construction: Changing Image from Google

 In order to change the image i used, i first looked for an image in google. of a broken heart and inserted it into the program photshop.

 

The image was then edited by altering the brightness and contrast using the adjustment layer. The Contrast/Brightness tool can be found under Layer/ New Adjustment Layer/ Contrast/Brightness



Or on the layers palette (accessable in Window/ Layers) click on the half white & Black circle and choose "Contrast/Brightness"


What comes up is perhaps simple pop-up window in photoshop. The concept is very straight-forward, the top slider adjusts brightness, and the bottom one adjusts contrast. Once i played around with the contrasts, i was happy with the shade of blue i had obtained as well as the fact i was able to eradicate the shade of grey behind.

Once happy with the hear i used the lasso tool to select the whole shape of the heart and exporting the outline so that it could be imported into the acuall CD cover.

The heart was finished and imported on the actual cover to eventually look like this.
