Vignette

The image is an edited photo of a Loris eating a toast with Elvis's portrait burnt into it. The original photo has the Loris eating an insect, in comparison to the modified image you will notice that the Loris contrasts better than the original picture. I have created this effect with the use of 'Vignette' a Photoshop filter which darkened the edges of the picture.

 

The picture required me to use 5 layer, the background layer i kept at the bottom just incase i need to recopy the original picture. The duplicate above is colour manipulated slightly to give a better contrast.

The layer above the duplicated picture is for the toast which in the image was placed in the Loris's hands. Again i have slightly altered the colour of the toast to match the background picture.

Every other layer was used to make the picture more realistic, in layer 5 is the Loris's nose covering the toast to make it seem like the it is eating the toast and layer 4 has the Loris's hand holding the toast.

The very top layer was used for Vignette filter which darkens the edges.
