Photo Selection and Preparation: The process begins with selecting the group photo and importing it into Adobe Lightroom. Basic adjustments like exposure, contrast, and white balance are made to enhance the overall image quality. Lightroom’s tools help correct any initial imperfections in the photo.
Background Adjustment in Photoshop: The image is then imported into Adobe Photoshop to modify the background. Using selection tools like the Magic Wand or Quick Selection, the original background is isolated and removed. A purple background is added or created using a solid color fill layer, ensuring it complements the group’s appearance. Design Element Integration: Within Photoshop, a white circle is created using shape tools or by drawing a precise circle. This circular shape serves as a frame or decorative element for the group photo. Adjustments are made to its size and position to frame the subjects effectively.
Photo Corrections in Lightroom and Photoshop: After integrating the design elements, the group photo undergoes further enhancements. Lightroom’s advanced editing features help refine details, such as skin tones, clarity, and color vibrancy. In Photoshop, additional retouching, such as removing blemishes or adjusting individual subject appearances, is performed using tools like the Healing
Finalization and Export: The final composite image is reviewed for consistency, ensuring the design elements and photo corrections align seamlessly. Upon completion, the image is exported in the desired format and resolution for its intended use, whether for print or digital distribution.
