I then dragged in an image taken from my phone of the Main Artist and pushed (CTRL+Shift+T) and then held the Shift button the enlarge the image without it pixilating. I made it the full size of the A4 page and then released the shift. I then went on the Magnetic Cropper tool and cut out the background so that I had just the artist on the front cover and not the background. I did it bit by bit as it took a while to make it it trace the correct line as the colours are similar in some places of the image. I ended up using the pen tool to trace around the artists head and hat becuase the colours where just too similar to the background and so it was just cutting them away. This tool took a while to get used to but then became easier to use.
I put a slight stroke around the artist to make it stand out slightly more, and I also airbrushed away blemishes on his face to make it look more professional. I did this by clicking the eyedropper tool to make sure I had the correct tone of his face, and then used a small brush on the 'lightner' setting to aribrush the blemishes away.
