Ann Nickerson - project 8


I had this great picture of my granddaughter and her friend from camp last summer that I wanted to use. They saw a tug-of-war mud pit at camp and couldn’t resist it. My theme was “in the Garden” so I had to figure how to make the picture fit the theme. I decided to overlay them on a construction picture of my son’s yard, that way we were all “in the garden”.

1. Discuss your experience using rulers and guides.
The rulers and guides were very helpful in composing my poster. I really like the snap function.

2. What was your favorite filter combination? How did filters contribute to your results? Did they improve or distract from the result you desired?
I enjoyed the text for the dirty girls, where I used the bevel & emboss with a gradient overlay and them warped it. The results were terrific.

3. Describe your experience using Smart Objects and the editing process.
I had no problem converting to smart objects. However, that may have made it harder to mask and edit. I had a hard time remembering how to scale the smart object.

4. In your second composite, please describe your favorite features you used to create this advanced composite. How did you challenge yourself in creating your results?
I had the concept in mind for “dirty girls”, so the hard part was to fit all the requirements into the project. I added the ducks so I wouldn’t have to puppet warp one of the girls.

5. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
I’m still using the select & save shortcuts. I’m trying to add more.
