Assignment 5

This assignment is brushing up on my quick mask mode skills. In the second picture I will admit I got some help from the brush tool and applied it to her hair to make it look less choppy. 

Assignment 4

Original 

Black and white with more contrast

Selective Blur

Black and White, color added with brush at low opacity

Sepia

I enjoy working in Photoshop more so than Illustrator so this project came easier to me than the last. This is a picture of my dog Gia. When working on something personal it tends to become an easier assignment because of interest in the subject. There is an example of added color but in the directions it says to add sepia and adjust the contrast. Also, the selective blur picture is hard to tell from the original because the background is already blurred.

Assignment 3

Until now I had no idea concept or thought of the live trace tool. I have been using the pen tool with almost every assignment and this will save myself hours of unnecessary work.
