Photoshop Lesson

This was what we did in today's Photoshop lesson.

We had to get an image of the Earth (purposefully as it is round) and then by using the Elliptical Marquee Tool, holding down the shift key and space bar, it gave you the opportunity to select a perfect circle. 

We then learnt how to (whilst keeping the resolution good) adjusting the size of the copied Earth's. 

Then we got to play around with some effects and change the Earth's shape, size and look of them. Once opened the effects, you can adjust the harshness of the effect and how much the effect appears on the image. This will be very useful when using Photoshop as if we wanted something with a slight different colour you can adjust it to the level that you want. 

Then we had to select the pen by using the magic wand tool and then selecting 'add to selection'. This meant we could keep the selection we had already selected and then end up selecting  more of the image. 

 This was the image that we had to crop the flower out of.

We then did the same with the flower but using the lasso tool and then selecting 'add to selection'. This proved a lot easier because if you made a mistake, you could select 'subtract from selection'. This made completely cropping something out of an image easier.
