Editing of Chosen Images (Contents Page)

This is evidence showing how I have edited my images and the tools that I have used
I used the auto tone tool to correct the tone of the image
Then, I auto contrast the image to change the lighting-making the image brighter

Afterwards, I cropped the image in order to get rid of unwanted parts of the image and to make the image more compact to fit into my contents page. 
For this image, I am going to add a filter and to make it represent the genre of my magazine I have chosen to add a black and white filter to the image
After the filter is added into the photo, you can see that I am able to adjust how dark or light the black and white filter is. Also, you are able to change which areas you would wish to be darker than others
I have adjusted the light settings and you can see that in some areas the lighting is brighter than others. This is the final product of my image.

Photographs for Contents Page, final chosen photographs

These are the images that I have taken for my contents page
 I have chosen these images as I felt that they best represented the rock genre, with the use of bands and concert footage it is what the genre is most known for. Typically music magazines in this genre normally go for the ‘in the moment’ effect instead of staged photo shoots for their as most rock artists are known to be passionate about music and its audience being the same by going to live concerts. I have chosen this image for the editor as I felt that she looks very trendy and looks like someone who knows about the genre and also enjoys listening to it, her costume creates a good relationship with the reader as it is a simple and casual band shirt.
