Don Howard: Project 6

1. How did you find masking different from selecting using the Refine Edge Tool?
The adjustments and tools were readily available. Some new features have been added.

2. What advantages or disadvantages did you discover between masking and removing your background?
It is a non-destructive way to work.

3. Describe your experience using the Refine Edge Tool. Did it allow you to more closely define your edges?
It is an incredible tool! However, it is not the answer to everything. I'm very happy it is available.

4. What were your challenges?
Complicated backgrounds, shadows over complicated backgrounds, combining images from different lighting and perspectives in a convincing way and the Puppet Warp for small things. And the number one challenge: Time, time, and time...

5. What was your intended result you hoped to create with the puppet warp tool? What options do you see the puppet warp tool might offer you in future projects?
My intended use was to satisfy the requirements of the class. I think it is an amazing tool and definitely will be using it in the future. There are times that it could make an OK image into an amazing image.

6. When would you use quick mask tool instead of the mask palette?
For simple masking jobs.

7. Did you find the channels section of the book challenging? How do you think you might use it in future projects? Did you complete the extra credit?
No, the channels section was fine. I would use it for fine tuning on any job that warranted it. Extra credit did not get done, there is no way that time was available.

8. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
There are about a dozen of them...
