concept questions
Q.1) The steps to complete this project : the first thing I did was set my camera to tv mode and grab a stool. Nest, me and my partner walked around the campus, and when we walked by the murals on the wall I came up with the idea of me being the butterfly as my levitation composite and then I had my partner take a picture of me and of the painting by itself and we moved on to take their photo. When we reached the back of the school we walked up the stairs and I got the idea to take a picture of him through the bars and so I did and of the background. Then inside class on photoshop I started with my levitation composite photo and attached both photos I took and layered them on top of one another and got used a layer masking tool to remove the stool sand my shadow from the photo. On my invisibility photo I layered the other set of photos and used the same tool to erase parts of my partner in-between the bars. Finally I saved both of them onto my computer and uploaded them to my Wix website.
Q.2) Layer masks are a tool on Photoshop you use to edit/erase a layer for layer under it.
Q.3) The layer masking tool differs from the eraser tool because you can undo mistakes with the anti-eraser and with the eraser tool you can not.
Q.4) In the future I can use them to remove shadows and I could edit out things in the background.
Q.5) I believe that my project was very successful because I like how that the final result turned out exactly how I imagined it would .
Q.6) I think I met the expectations because I understood the assignment and I spent time and dedication to editing my photos. I also answered all the questions in complete sentences.
