Project 4 Cassiopeia Anderson


My favorite image this week was the more complex of the three, and I think that is probably the very reason I like that image more. There is more going on so it is more interesting.

Which blend modes did you experiment with and then use in your project? I experimented with all of the blend modes, but I ended up using the dissolve and color burn.

How did you use the stacking order to produce your final results in your most complex composite? The stacking order created a lot of dimension. The photo of the bridge in Portland was in the very back and the opacity was high. Then, each of the street performers were overlapping a little in different ways.

What layer effects did you use? Which layer styles did you apply to another layer? I used the inner glow, drop shadow, and satin layer effects.

What key elements of layer managements in this module that you plan to use in future projects? It's neat to know that each layer can be manipulated and edited in so many different ways and that they can overlap each other to create more dimension. This lesson taught me a lot about layers which I have always found incredibly confusing so I am glad that is all cleared up now.

What challenges did you experience in the process? The biggest challenge was digging through photos to decide which ones to use. Everything else I found enjoyable.

What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now? Ctrl+D (deselect), Alt+Move, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+(zoom in), Ctrl-(zoom out), Ctrl+S (Save)
