1. Discuss your experience using rulers and guides.
Rather useful for keeping things 'balanced' and for placing assets at specific locations on a layer.
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 liked the sketch filters because they at least looked realistic after applying them (the water color one was neato). I think they mostly added to the results, though I am of a mixed mind on that, but I think the more I use them and fiddle with their settings, the better they'll end up looking. As for improving a result or not, that's entirely situational given that some images just don't look good as a "water color" or an "air brush" but some will. (Some nature/panorama shots looked terrible, but buildings tended to look okay.)
3. Describe your experience using Smart Objects and the editing process.
It certainly makes things easier if you're in the middle of editing/composing an image, but with a little bit of planning, it's possible to not have to use Smart Objects in the creation process.
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 like using the various selection tools; I like to challenge myself by getting the cleanest, best-looking selection I can. The selection for the sky in the background of that image was especially though because of all of the little random bits sticking up -- mostly ship masts, flag poles, and the pole on top of the lighthouse. That was a definite challenge; I could have chosen another bit of the image to remove/replace.
5. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
Ctrl+T
