PRODUCTION: Editing Advert - distoring background

How I changed the background of my advert. 

I had to add an effect to the background of my original image because I had edited out a sign that spoiled the image and made it look unprofessional. 

I had to use the quick selection tool, so I can have outline of the artist. 

I then clicked on the select tab where  I then changed the settings of the quick selection and changed it to inverse select by doing this it changed where I wanted to selceted and chose the background instead. 

 

Once the background was now selected, we then click on the filter tab, which allows us add effects on the background and not the artist.

Here is an example of what effects can be added onto the background.

 I selected this effect simply because of the issue that happened with the clone tool. As once I edited the sign that was in the background. For that I had to use the clone tool, to take the clone of the original image for that area. Therefore, by using this effect where I had edited the sign is not as obvious

Here is what the original image looks like with the sign in the background

Here is the advert!!!
