This piece is done by Peter Saville. It was a CD cover for a band called Suede.

1st step. Looking at the cover I would say the first step in this cover was a photo shoot. Which meant taking photos of the 3 people in the image on the mattress. 
2nd step. The second step would be taking the images took and opening them in Photoshop. 
3rd step. I would say the magnetic selection tool was then used to select part of the photo (the man) and then making him black and white, and then changing the contrast of the black and white man to give it more of an edge. Also their is a slight bit of red on the man so that would have been left and the contrast of that colour would have changed i contrast which would have made that red darker, and there is a black shadow underneath the man as he's on a mattress so that was done by putting a shadow on the man by really making him look like he's layed on a mattress. 
4th step. Then i would =say the magnetic selection tool was used again to select one of the other people in the image and then changing the hue/saturation to that person. this gave it the colour brightness also the face in gone so i would say the rubber tool was used to get rid of the features of the face and then use the eyedropper tool to make the body colour the same as the blank face. 
5th step. The face has been kept on the other girl so i would say the hue saturation tool was used on all of the girl by selecting her with the magnetic selection tool. This has given a high saturation of colour.
6th step. I would then say that the mattress was next and the mattress was also changed in hue saturation just to blend in with the people slighly. 
7th step. Then It looks like the background was done with the gradient background tool. this was done vertically and the colour has been changed from grey to green, which matches the people.
8th step. I would say the title 'coming up' was done with the pencil tool and spontaneously wrote giving it a messy edge. Also the colour green was done for this.
9th step. The 'suede' title at the top was done by the text tool and was typed in a greyish colour and also written in a certain font in photoshop.
