1. Which selection tools did you think worked best for specific elements in an image?
I used the quick selection tool for most of my selections. If the selection was too big or too small I would add or subtract the selection with the magic wand.
2. What tools/skills used to create simple composite do think you might use again?
I will definitely be using the magic wand a lot more, it's very useful. I really liked the command+X shortcut to make a transparent background. I will be using those all the time now.
3. How would you use these tools in future projects?
If I ever need to use only a certain part of a picture I will quick select it and delete the background to make it transparent. I think the fx style sheet is helpful too. Especially if you need to make something "pop". I really like the way a drop shadow can make a certain picture look like it's cut out.
4. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
I use Cmd+V (Move tool), Cmd+B (Brush tool), Cmd+W (Quick Select tool), Cmd+S (SAVE!!!), Cmd+Q (Quit after a long night)
5. What challenges did you experience in the process?
My biggest struggle with this entire class is NOT the photoshop process at all, it's the webpages. I am a bit rusty with the web page aspect of everything. I hope to hone in my web page building skills soon.
