In the media, photo editing is used a lot to perfect or alter images. To get some inspiration for my magazine I tried out some editing techniques using Adobe photoshop.
Magazines are known to airbrush models to make them 'perfect'. For example make them slimmer or remove unwanted imperfections. Using this knowledge I decided to use a picture of a scar and see how easy (or hard) it would be to remove them, and therefore alter this person's image. Using the 'spot healing brush tool' I experimented for a while and found that it was difficult to make it look natural and not obviously blurred.
After some practice I found it easier to blur away the impefection with the tool, because I realised you had to be a lot more precise than I had first thought. In the end I managed to create an image that looked a lot better than my first attempt, however it still looks quite obviously tampered with. Through this I have found that a lot more effort goes into making models look 'perfect' and 'airbrushed' than I had previously thought.
