Photoshop lesson 2

3 Ghostly images

 

 

The tools that I have used in Photoshop is the magic wand tool. This tool is used when you need to get rid of a plain background and just have the image. It is an easier way to get rid of the background then the quick selection tool.
The effects that I have used is a transparent tool, called Opacity which makes the image transparent and more like a ghost. This adds the effect that the image is a ghost as ghosts are sort of see through. Another effect I have used is a blurring. This makes the image blurry which is great when you are creating a ghost. On the second ghostly image I have purposely cut one of the legs off because it looks more effect. This is because it looks as though the ghost has  lost his leg  showing that there is a story behind the ghost. I have placed the ghost on the stairs because it looks like it is walking down the stairs with just one leg.
This ghostly effect can be used  in a freaky image by putting a ghost on the freaky images or just half of the image.
I like Photoshop because you can do a lot with it such as editing images and making films. I find Photoshop hard because some od the things you have to do on Photoshop I find hard. I feel a little more confident with Photoshop because I have used some more interesting tools that I have never used before, and I am using more and more times.
The things that I am confident with is moving an image on top of a image. I am also confident with the quick selection tool because I have used it a lot, it cuts different parts of the image you use in Photoshop.

One thing that I would develop in Photoshop is using the magic wand tool more and more. This is because I have never used it before and I would like to get more confident with the tool which I am not as confident with yet.

I have tried to make a banner using Photoshop. This was hard for me because I didn't know how to do each step. The tutorial confused me a bit. In the end I managed to get a banner made on Photoshop after a while. The colours I have used are bright because banners are supposed to be bold and bright. I like my final banner because I like the colours that I have used. The gradient used on my banner is very colourful. I enjoyed doing this after I got the hang of it because it was fun and it looks very good once it has been done. The triangles on the banner don't look as right as they should on the tutorial because they aren't straight. This was because the tool used to make the triangles was not a straight tool but I enjoyed using the tool. I used the anchor point tool to make the rectangle more like a banner. I found this quite easy because it was quite straight forward. I used the name Unique inside the banner just to keep things simple.
