In this final episode – we go back and touch up the things we missed when working with the image the first time around. Some of the shadows left in the dragon’s background, the mission series title, and the whiteness at the bottom of the image, and trimming the layers hanging off the edge of the image. We also add more contrast and try to arrange elements in the cover image that partially obscure the title.
