Photoshop Class - A Bittersweet Moment

Photoshop is something that is like second nature to a lot of people nowadays...i want to apart of that group...so far this class has been opening my eyes to how people, specifically designers, create or produce images that have unbeliavable quality and creativity...

Each time sir shows us something i have those "OOOHHHH!!! So that's how you do it" Moments...

I learnt how to blend more than two images together...my first photoshop image was of course a picture of a dancer :) ...she was jumping and among her was a beautiful array of colours in the clouds...it had a sort of burnning effect...

We have gotten pictures from Sir to practice in class with...

My favourite tool is the magic tool which makes so much sense to how people create certain images - like a politians head on top of animal or something like that...the changing the tolerance level has also helped so much, of course making things easier to select...creating new layers, blending them, making the images...so much has been done in just 4 weeks...i can imagine all that i'll be able to do at the end of the semester...

Best of all was putting the picture behind the text...we used an image made by Fiber-Castell obviously blending the pencil crayon with various things...I did it with a Dog with a but as a pencil and a firetruck with a pencil at the end...

These are all the SWEET part...BITTER :/ came with the process to get to the end product/images...Apple Z was like my best friend in these exercises...but just like Illustrator i realized that i really really have to practice, especially out of class time, for me to get really better and remember the shortcut keys and everything each week...

I appreciate Photoshop class and i hope that i will continue to get better and better at it...
