1. How did you find masking different from selecting using the Refine Edge Tool?
I thought it was a lot easier because I didn't have to be quite as precise, because I would be going back to refine my selections later.
1. What advantages/disadvantages did you discover between masking and
removing your background?
A lot of times once the background was gone I realize my mask was nowhere near as good as I thought it was...
2. Describe your experience using the Refine Edge Tool. Did it allow you to
more closely define your edges?
It was really useful for hair and I imagine it would be really useful for other finely detailed images, such as leaves or wispy clouds or anything like that. I thought it was very helpful to define the edges that I had left off in my initial selection.
3. What were your challenges?
Correcting my selections without adding back in too much of the background--finding the balance in those adjustments.
2. 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?
When I used it I wanted to adjust the tilt of a statue's head. I think it would be very helpful for adjusting facial expressions, such as in the video.
3. When would you use quick mask tool instead of the mask palette?
For simply-shaped selections--it was tough for me because I use a trackpad (no mouse) so the control is difficult!
4. 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?
I don't know that I completely understand the uses of channels, but I'm confident that I'll find them as I continue working with them. I didn't complete the extra credit, because I was running short on time!
5. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
I started using the [ and ] keys to adjust the size of my brush... very helpful!
