Tresa Cavanaugh Project 6










Blog Questions and Answers:

1. How did you find masking different from selecting using edge tool? Refine edge lets you improve edges you've selected by feathering, softening or some contrasting options. Masking gives you a chance to make major changes inside masked areas or outside masked areas such as color, background, shodow and highlighting.
2. What advantages/disadvantages did you discover between masking and removing your background. Don't understand the question. They are two different things to me, ned to look into this more.
3. Describe your experience using refine edge tool. Did it allow you to more closely define your edges? Yes, although these changes using this tool are sometimes hard to notice after expanding back to normal size.
4.What were your challenges? Time constraints mostly. Also some functions didn't work as planned until second or third try, shadowing for instance and it still didn't come out quite right.
5. What was your intended result you hoped to create with the puppet warp tool? What options do you see the puppet wartp tool might offer you in future projects? This tool I like and used in each photo (though that may not have been in your instructions). It is fun to use and can brighten smiles, eyes and change angles of things to produce a desired effect.
6. When would you use the quick mask tool instead of the mask palette? I'm sorry but I don't remember using a mask "palette". I need to study masks and all their variables more as that term escapes me.
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? Challenging, yes but was able to follow the instructions in lesson 6 OK. Not sure of any future use. No extra credit at this time.
8. Key board shortcuts. The notations in the tools panel showing shorcuts has helped a lot, some like Z for zoom, V for move, C for crop and T for type I've started using more. This is a work in progress.
