Reflection Journal

In my multimedia class I learned a lot of things like how to make a melon head, how to change a picture's colors, and swapping faces. Another cool thing I learned in my multimedia class was masking pictures. Masking is just another way of making a selection. It's easier and quicker. The red part of the masks indicates the area that is selected. The red part will also tell you that you can change anything about that selected area or apply effects on the swelected area. The black colors in masks indicate the area of the picture will be erased. The white colors in the mask indicate that the selected are will be saved and will be visible unlike the black selection. The tools I used for the masking project are the masking tool, magnetic lasso tool, quick selection tool, the yin yang symbol, the add new layer symbol, shadow and glow effects, and the text tool to write "Dog From Hell". I wrote that quote in red to emphisize the word "HELL". The tools I used for this project basically helped me make the picture of the ugly dog better than before by adding effects. The tools also helped my get the job done faster unlike cheap programs like paint which take forever to do. The adjustment layers took some parts of the picture away while some parts of it were still visible. In the layers panel it s\howed black and white. Between the lasso tool and quick selection I found the lasso tool was easier to use because it was more conveinient than the quick selection tool. The bad thing about this project is that I wasn't there on the first day when my techer was teaching this topic because I was on a school trip. So it took me time to catch up with the others. The good thing is that I had fun doing this project.
