Project 3 - Making Selections - Adam Staiger




1. Which selection tools did you think worked best for specific elements in an
image?

I really like using the quick selection tool and the magnetic lasso tool; I think they work really well for selecting specific elements, and when used in conjunction with each other, make getting what you wanted selected relatively easy.

2. What tools/skills used to create simple composite do think you might use
again?
Layering is an important part of the equation, so definitely proper usage of Layers; the Quick Selection Tool and the Magnetic Lasso Tool, as I mentioned earlier, are pretty amazing things as well, and I can see those two tools getting used a lot.

3. How would you use these tools in future projects?
It would depend on the project, but probably how I used them in this project; most of them are relatively self-explanatory so using them for their intended function would probably be best, though I am sure there are some cool tricks that I'll end up figuring out on my own or learning along the way from someone else.

4. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, CTRL+Backspace, CTRL+X, M, Alt+Click, and a few more that I cannot think of.

5. What challenges did you experience in the process?
Keeping my hand steady while using the mouse to make delicate selections; even with a reasonably decent mouse, making fine-tuned selections can be a major chore and take a lot of patience.
