Photoshop: Basics (unfinished)

We are now learning about Photoshop.

Here is my First Assignment and the pictures I used for it.

Picture 1 - Bag of Sugar

Final Picture - "Sugar Flavored Sugar" 

Picture 2 -  Alan Sugar

Here are the tools I  used for this assignment.

Lasso = L key
Quickmask = Q key
Modify the edge of selection  = Select/Modify/Expand
Turn the selection into a layer= cmd/ctrl J
Move the Layer to another Photo= Move tool =V key drag to another photo
Scale the layer= cmd/ctrl T
Copy the Layer= cmd/ctrl J




Here is a detailed analysis of each tool.


 * Lasso - the lasso tool is used to circle a section of the photograph. Its good for highlighting specific parts but uses the mouse which can allow for some easy mistakes if not careful.
* Quickmask - allows you to look at the photograph a little differently
