Planning 3) Technical Tutorials

During the tutorials I learnt alot on how to use Photoshop in order to create my Digi pack. I experimented with a number of tools and used them to create a mock CD cover. I uploaded my photo and began by using the Green screen technique, as it wasnt available at the time we took the photographs we inprovised and used a white sheet. I beleive it still worked effectivly but it was just much harder to get a smoother surface for editing.

The tools i used were:

• Cmd + T to resize my photo.
• Holding Shift on the image to resize it without it becoming out of proportion.
• Use the Quick selection tool to change the colour of the background.
• Use the Eraser to manually smooth down the edges of the 'artist'.
• Cmd Z = Undo tool
• Control T = Transitions

I also learnt that PhotoShop works by using layers and experimented with these factors.
