Experimentation: Photoshopping bruises

Photoshop bruise 2.jpg

As I chose to do Domestic Abuse for my FMP, I decided to try and use photoshop to try and add some special effects to the images to add a bit more of an impact to it.

At first it was obvious the bruise was fake, I wanted to make it seem a little more believable. I could clearly see the bruise was too dark and circular so I tried to fix that.

In my second attempt I was able to make it seem a lot more realistic. I used the liquify tool to give the eye that swollen look to it, helping it with that believability.

On my third and final attempt, the colours scheme seemed great however it once again looked too circular taking away the realism from it.
