Reflection 2

1. My task was to use the edit tools to take a part off a picture, make a canyon look less damage, help a man's face get clearer, and to edit the background and hat of a little girl with using editing tools. To be able to remove or replace a part of a photo without it looking "photoshopped"
2.The clone stamp tool was able to replace a area with using another area, which is easily used when their is a repeating pattern, to be able to take something out of a photo without it looking like it was just deleted out, but put owver by the surrounding background to give it a more realistic feel. The healing brush was a lot like the clone stamp tool. It took one area of a photo and replaced with another, therefore helping me out in the canyon photo by repairing and recovering the cracks and such. The patch tool was a selection on an area then it fills the selected area with the content around it or be replaced by a copied selected area. The spot healing brush was like a combination of the patch and the healing brish, it cleared a selected area by using its surroundings to look more realistc.
3. This project could've helped me out with the two Lanzs one. I could of been able to make it look more realistic and I couldve added affects to it and make it look like I was actually interacting with my other self, so to speak.
4. I think the healing brush really fit me. I was absolutely shocked when I realized that I was able to form a replacement to cover up a area. This can really help me out in future photos.


Reflection number 3

1. my task was to be accustommed with the edit toolds such as the fill bicket tool, whcih
i used to change colors in a immediate form, the blur tool to highlight a part of a photo to make it look like a high focused camera, the dodge and burn tool to edit a old photo and bring back some color and recover it, and finally desaturated and used the gradient tool on a picture.
2. The magic eraser erases a certain color found in a photo.  The blur toold like blurs a photo and makes it look like a focused area is being highlighted in a photo. The dodge tool brightens a selected part of the photo. The burn tool darkens a selected part of the photo. The sponge tool either desaturates on saturates a image. The paint bucket tool fills an area which selected with a certain color. The gradient tool puts an effect on the selected area, desaturation.
3. The editing project from before, so I can be able to make the replaced areas look more realistic and not so much photoshop, especially photo B of the previous project.
4. The best tool I found was the blur tool. It gave me a immediate effect to creatively highlight a area of a picture so who ever sees it can identify the hotspot or the focus spot of the picture give it a figurative selection type.

Reflection Questions Vanderputen

1. A mask in photoshop is a type of selection by using a color to shade in the part you want to select. It creates a area where you can select out of the maiin area to customize or focus on different affects to either improve or fix that part.

2.Red is the actual shade, Black and White is the two colors you need when you click the mask tool to correctly select what you want through mask. Red is the color you get to use as the shade you  use to paint the area you want to select.. The black and White are the sort of default colors you need to put to in order to make selections.
3. I used the Paint tool to shade my selection. It was able to shade the area I needed to focus on. I also used the eraser tool to take away parts that I did not need in my selection.
4.It is round and it makes it a more smoother edge. The mask really is specific to hit every aspect of the portion  and it is a critical tool for a fast selection.
5.Adjustment layer made the selected area differ from its layer without cutting it out. Adjustment layers customize the selected area to your own effects, in this project I used it as a black and white background

6.masks are faster and more efficient way to get a selection. The selection tools takes more time and is useful in only adding or subtracting a selection, but I found the mask tool my primary tool for selecting.
