First I opened the photo I wanted to edit for my back cover by going to 'File' and 'Open', then searching my documents.
I then created a new layer so I could edit on that and not risk and further issues if I went wrong.
I then used the 'Magic Wand' tool and held down the shift key so I could grab certain aspects of Ant, without including the background.
Once I had grabbed as much of Ant as I could I went to 'Select' and clicked 'Invert' so that when it came to using paint, it would colour the background and not the subject.
I then clicked on the paintbrush and chose white, to match my colour scheme.
I changed the size of the paintbrush so that colouring in the background would be quicker.
This shows the process of the colouring and how the magic wand tool makes sure I don't colour Ant in.
This is the final edited photo. Obviously there are some parts that I missed with the paint, but this doesn't matter as I will be scaling it to fit the digipak size conventions and so the errors won't be visible.
