my photo selection

Today I was selecting my photos, the first photos I started to select was for my bill board. I selected the one that I would find easy to edit and also the one that is focused. Also the framing was the vest on this one.

A few of the other pictures I didn’t use were not in the frame or the composition of the plate and cutlery weren’t in a recognisable format. I did like a few other ideas but didn’t choose them because the other one looked the best suited to my idea.

I also started putting together my bill board on Photoshop. The first thing I learnt was how to use the magnifying glass; I used this to zoom in and out of my image to get a closer look at how to cut out my folk. I then wanted to cut out my plate so I used the marquee tool to go around my plate. I also used the feathering tool which lightened the edge of my plate so I can easily blend it later; I also feathered my folk, spoon and knife. Then I learnt the copy and paste shorthand. I used this to copy and past the spoon that I had cut out. I learnt how to delete layers because I cut out the knife twice so had to delete one of the layer. I also used the magnetic lasso tool so I could cut around the spoon and folk exactly.
