Hannah Price- Project 4

- A lot of the blend modes didn't seem to make much of a visual difference to me, maybe I'm not understanding all the adjustments yet. The ones I did use a couple times with luck was the satin blending mode.
- This image didn't use a lot of the stacking order but I did one collage that had a bunch of overlapping flowers, dragging layers in the sacking order was very helpful on that one. On this image I do like that the image of the people is over the background image so the border doesn't go over the people.
- I like the drop shadow layer effect, I added that to one of the flags and then dragged the same effect to the other flags.
- I can definitely see that layer management will be very helpful on future project. I find it very convenient that you can add styles to one layer and them copy them to another layer. I will definietly use that in the future.
- My main challenge on this project was remembering that a layer had to be selected in the layers panel in order to edit it. I am used to working in AutoCAD where layer management is very important but clicking on an image activates that element without going to the layer management panel.
- Still not catching on to the keyboard shortcuts. I'm sure once I remember all the names of the tools and don't need the visual clues I will start using the keyboard shortcuts more.
Here is the link to all of my images from this project. Gallery
