In our class we have started working on learning to use Adobe Photoshop, and I think I am getting the hang of it pretty well so far. In our first project, we worked with layers and layer masks to make sandwiches. We had to use layer masks to mask out parts of the images we didn't want in our art. I think layer masks are definitely important when creating things because they do not actually alter or destroy the file itself. In our second project we worked more on editing photos, and we used the skills we learned to create cool pop art. First, we edited pictures of a football player. We changed the photo to be black and neon colors, and three variations across. Then, we took pictures of ourselves and used the same techniques, but instead of three different pictures across it was nine pictures. I liked this project and while I did struggle on it, I did manage to get the hang of it. I am very exited to learn how to do more things and create more cool art in Photoshop in the future, and I have enjoyed using it do far. One thing that had been especially challenging, however, has been having to use a mouse for everything. It would be much better and easier if we got to use drawing tablets instead of mice, at least for me. All in all, while I struggled a bit, I think I did pretty well and I am excited to learn how to be a Photoshop pro.
