:: View Gallery ::(the other two composite images are just as ridiculous, and feature Arnold Schwarzenegger chilling in space, in case that's the sort of thing you're into...)
1. Which blend modes did you experiment with and then use in your project?
"Overlay" and "Lighten", for the most part. Love messin' with that opacity, too, of course.
2. How did you use the stacking order to produce your final results in your most complex composite?
I copied small areas of the background and stacked them with lowered opacity on top of parts of other layers they would overlap if the picture had been taken naturally, such as the smoke billowing out from under the mushroom cloud and the wave that laps up against that box of girls (haha) & over the contortionist's feet. The result is simply that the pasted elements seem a bit more a part of the image, rather than just dropped in at random. Also I never thought I would use the phrase "box of girls" in a school assignment... or probably ever. Ha!
3. What layer effects did you use? Which layer styles did you apply to another layer?
Almost every layer in all three of my images for this project used 2 or more layer styles/fx (what's the difference, by the way?) mostly just because I thought it was part of the requirements... My favorites are outer glow, bevel/emboss, color overlay, stroke, and drop shadow.
4. What key elements of layer managements in this module that you plan to use in future projects?
All of them, I guess? Ha, I'm sort of OCD about layer structure as it is...
5. What challenges did you experience in the process?
Oh, I just always drive myself crazy obsessing over stupid tiny details that no one would ever notice anyway, and end up spending waaaay more time on homework than I meant to...
6. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
Command +/- for zooming in and out, Command T for free transform, Command D for deselect and Command ^I for select-inverse. I think those are the only ones I use basically every time– I should make myself memorize more shortcuts, it just usually seems about as easy to just pick what I want from one of the menus.
