Photoshop

During the past few weeks of using photoshop, I have explored a number of different tools:

• Lasso Tool (Cut)
• Blur Tool
• Spot healing brush Tool
• Blur Tool
• Text tool

I have then used different ways of adjusting the image such as:

• Hue/Saturation
• Match Colour
• Shadow/Highlight
• Transforming the image
• Scale
• Rotate

I found it quite hard to adjust the colour to make the images fit together smoothly. However, with more practise I think I'll find this easier with time.
I then looked into various ways of layering the pictures on top of one another. I found that the 'hard mix' layering technique worked the best, as I felt is blended the images together and made the image as a whole look much more professional.

At first, photoshop looked as though it was going to be difficult, however after spending a bit of time using it, I found that I was more familiar with the different tools and ways of manipulating the image. I definately think that using Photoshop is crucial to creating a Media Product, because it creates professional-looking posters and DVD covers in a small amount of time.
