Karlyn Gibson- Project 3

I chose this image because it required cutting around the leaf and stem of the apple, and took some work to get right.

1.  I think the selection tool that is best to use depends entirely on the image and its background.  I used the magnetic lasso tool on this image because the background was contrasting, but the apple's shape and color pallet was too varied to use the quick selection tool. 
2.  The quick wand selection tool is great because of it's add and subtract feature.  It makes it easy to hone in on the edge of an image.
3.  These selection tools would be great for lifting an element out of one image, to include in another such as a logo.
4.  I used Command D to deselect all the time.  I also use Command + or - to zoom in and out easily. 
5.  The biggest challenge is using a laptop track pad to trace around an image.  The track pad makes it difficult to make a smooth trace.
