Digipak Development

I first brought in my cover photo and fit it inside the picture box on the cover using a layer mask. I scaled and moved it to look pleasing within the frame.

The image overall looked too dark and didn't give off the upbeat feel that I felt the album needed so I went about brightening the image using a series of adjustment layers.

Brightness/Contrast:

Hue/Saturation (to create a stylised, more surreal image):

Hue/Saturation 2 (yellowed the tree leaves to match the yellow on the digipak):

Hue/Saturation 3 (reddened the jumper stripes to match the hue of the pink record label logos):

I then saw that the blue in the title highlight didn't quite match the blue in the photo, so colour matched it using the eyedropper.
