In today's lesson I started editing a photo that I am planning to use either in my contents page or on my front cover. I have not fully decided which image I will be using and that's why I am experimenting with many images.
After watching a tutorial on how to add tattoos on an image, I decided to add my own tattoos on my model because the fake sleeve tattoo that I ordered arrived too late which means my model did not get to put it on which also means I might be having another Photo shoot.
To start off I searched for 'Tattoo PNG' on google, which are tattoos with no background or just white background which means it would be easier to get rid of the background. After adding the tattoo image onto my model, I resized to image to have the perfect size. When you right click on the image, you get other options like 'Perspective' which I also used and this helped to move and change the shape of the image, e.g. bend it to make it look round as if the tattoo is going around the arm.
After resizing it I changed to the 'Normal ' setting to 'Multiply' as you can see on this image, and this made the white background disappear which means I was left with just the dark parts. Later on, I decreased the 'Opacity' to around 48% to 50%. The opacity is the quality of transparency which means me decreasing it made the image more transparent and this made everything look more realistic.
Another thing I done with the tattoos is that I used the 'Rubber tool' to rub of the parts of the tattoo that was in unwanted areas like the clothes or the background. This was one of the key important parts of the whole process because it would have looked very unrealistic and unprofessional without this step.
