Project 6- Maren McGuire


1. How did you find masking different from selecting using edge tool? I like it so much more. I can get the exact edge I want. All the little details. Really cool.

2. What advantages/disadvantages did you discover between masking and removing your background. Usually helped in discerning a cleaner edge. However, I found myself going back and forth sometimes- some of the backgrounds I used really helped see the edges (like red on green)- that was easier on my eyes.

3. Describe your experience using refine edge tool. Did it allow you to more closely define your edges? Yes and no. It didn't quite do what I thought it did. I think I'll have to look more closely and spend a little more time practicing.

4.What were your challenges? It's one thing to plug in the values from the book, but quite another just playing. I found there were lots of options, but I'm not versed enough to perfect. Again, more practice will help.

5. What was your intended result you hoped to create with the puppet warp tool? What options do you see the puppet warp tool might offer you in future projects? I had a hard time with this tool. It didn't always do what I thought it would. In the future, I can see using it for model poses that aren't quite right, but the face is perfect.

6. When would you use the quick mask tool instead of the mask palette? I think when you need to replace a color really quickly. Quick mask tool is really fun!

7. Did you find the channels section of the book challenging? How do you think you might use it in future projects? Did you complete the extra credit? Not really. No extra credit, I didn't know there was mention of extra credit.

8. Key board shortcuts. I liked using the [ and ] key to make the refine edge brush bigger and smaller. Simple buttons like that rock.
