Photoshop

We had a lesson on the basics of photoshop and having never used this program I was excited to see what it could do and eager to learn some new skills. We learnt of the layers that you use to edit within photoshop when you post several images into a new window which i feel we will be using in the plans for our album cover especially. Colour correction and effects are advanced on this program and there are lots of options to choose from to get the right look for our album cover. Rotation and distortion were also part of our lesson along with changing the position of an object on the screen. All of these are important skills. We learnt how to select to then copy and paste easier shapes like a circle and more complex ones such as a flower petal since cutting an image from its background and making it look good is essential to a good looking product.
One of the main problems people experience is knowing what layer you are in so it is likely that I will label mine when I come to using this software.
