Star Field

Week one what I learned

Today in class I learned how to make a lens flair, and also how to go through the different modes for layers. To go through the different mode you use SHIFT COMMAND + then you are able to see the effect of the different modes. I also learned how to merge only the layers that are visible into one layer so that you can have one layer with everything on it, to do that you press OPTION and then click on the little triangle on the layers panel and you can merge the layers.

fun

I just did this for fun :)

Elliptical Marquee tool 

To get this look I used the elliptical tool to make a selection of the photo. Out of all the tools that we used today this one was my favorite one. It is simple and easy to use, Especially if you don't want a precise selection.

Magic wand tool

For this selection I used the magic wand tool. This tool was my second favorite tool to use for selection, because it get a closer selection with not so much background. With this tool you can get a pretty close selection.

Laso tool

This tool was the hardest tool to use, it is not one of the tools that i would prefer to use regularly. it was hard to make selections on parts of the picture that had colors that were similar to the background. but it does get a really close selection.
