1. Which selection tools did you think worked best for specific types of elements in an image?
Depending on the image, it varied. I think quick select and magic wand are the two quickest tools to use. Using these tools is easiest when there is a very simple background to work with. I also like the magnetic lasso-- it seemed to know the natural edges of most objects I tried to select.
2. What tools and strategies that you used to create your simple composite will you use in future projects?
I used a color overlay that gave my composite a vintage look (see above). I was surprised by the result, but really like how it turned out. I am interested to see how the other tools work in future projects.
3. In this module, you created the transparent images. How do you believe these images will be used in your future web design projects? What file type did you save your transparent images as?
I save my transparent images as pngs. I saved all my images as pngs because they seemed to yield the quickest load speeds without sacrificing image quality.I'm not sure how I will use these images, but they might be good on a background or logo in the future.
4. What challenges did you experience in the process?
I assumed quick select would be the easiest way to select items, but I found that magic wand and the magnetic lasso were just as effective. Once I was more flexible on this, it accurate selecting became much easier. Using the inverse property ended up being really helpful in most cases.
5. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
Control backspace to change the background color and alt to select a color for brush fill. Those two shortcuts are real timesavers.
