On the right is the image that is on the inside cover behind the CD. It features an image of the light bulb that we used in our final cut but edited for a better effect. Below is the original image and you can see how much difference the changes made to the final image.
Firstly, I flipped the image so that the bulb was on the right. This was so that the light being emitted from the bulb didn't look odd when positioned next to the other inside cover.
After this I worked on the quality of the image. The original was very grainy and had a dull look to it. To enhance it I first used some image adjustment sliders including Brightness/Contrast and Hue/Saturation. With these I made the dark parts of the image darker and the lighter parts, lighter.
After this I decided to crop the image to the size I needed for the digipak before I made permanent changes to the image. I cropped off the arch-door (on the right) which made the image completely focused on the bulb and the darkness behind it for added symbolism (a lone light in the dark --> secrets).Lastly I wanted to get rid of the grainy effect on the image. I did this with the dust and scratches filter. The dust and scratches filter blurred the image and in doing so, removed the grainy texture from it.
