Reflection#3 - Project 2

In our 2nd project, We had to work in quick mask mode, and we had to use masks. In this project we had to put ourselves interacting with the original picture. Layer masks allow you to see with a short look on the layers their effect on the image. Also it allows you to combine two or more different things on one picture. You just have to switch the order.The black color represents the hidden area, the white color represents the part that can show through to the layer beneath, the red color shows you the selected areas that you picked before. 

             During this project in mask mode I used only 3 tools - a brush tool, an eraser tool and a lasso tool. I used brush tool to select the area of a picture that I wanna move somewhere else. I used the eraser tool to eliminate the imperfections of my selection in a mask mode. I used lasso tool to select the top part of my jersey, so I could change the color of this selection, and change the color of a number on my jersey (originally the number on my jersey was white, but I changed the color so it matches with other girls' jerseys). These tools really helped me, my cutout looks more realistic.

              I truly love masks more than lassos. Lasso tool requires high concentration when you are selecting, I'm not the type of a person that can keep calm. I don't need a lasso tool when I have a mask because I can always change the size of a brush and of an eraser.

p.s. fishes feel good!
