Week 03 - Introduction to Photoshop 2
LECTURE

Today's class, more tools were taught to us but the main one is Lasso tool.
Sir Fauzi mentioned the differences in those common tools and he elaborated
that lasso tool is more precise but it also depends on the situation if it
requires you to use pen tool or magic wand instead for example. Another
thing that was taught is how to organise our layers as we go about our work
because layering is important to go back and forth and to make adjustments
when needed in the future.
TUTORIAL
- Paths, Masking, Layering

For our tutorial session, he presented a video of his on the process of
doing digital collage for our Project 1 now that the physical one has ended.
Tips and instructions were given on how to make use of masking technique,
layering, removing background to combine it again strategically and
creatively that will allow us to making our vision a reality.
We were also provided with the digital materials to make a rather demo
version so that we would know how to do it on our own later on. Tool like
Magic Wand was mentioned for quick removal of an image on a white
background, it is a tool that is pixel-sensitive so it is easy to remove a
simple image from a white background by using the magic wand rather than
other tools such as lasso or pen tool.
PRACTICAL
Compositing the Digital Collage
We were instructed to at least include four layers for each composition
layout that we do to make it more interesting and more of a collage-looking
design. This practical session is basically also a continuation of the
tutorial session before but instead of following the demo version from the
lecturer, now we get to create our own creative version.
