Band Image Photoshopping

Today we photoshopped an image that will appear on the inside left cover of the digipak with a colour signal bar filter over the top afterwards. First we got rid of the bands spots by using the clone and airbrush tools close up on their skin, we then used the healing tool to smooth the gradient screen in the background. We were originally going to completely cut the band out but we decided against it because the shadows would have disappeared and the image would look very fake and flat. We then changed the brightness and contrast to get the boldest effect we could so it would definitely stand out against the bright filter we will pout on top. Bellow is the finished image ready for the filter:
