Allan Wakefield Project 6



1. How did you find masking different from selecting using the Refine Edge Tool?
I liked using the masking techniques described in this lesson. I found them eaiser to use, and select what you needed. Although I searched for images that would work well with this assignment, so I will see in later projects of my own what I will use.
1. What advantages/disadvantages did you discover between masking and removing your background?
I like masking better, It allows for a nondestructive way to remove unwanted portions of an image.
2. Describe your experience using the Refine Edge Tool. Did it allow you to more closely define your edges?
I am still struggling with the refine edge tool, I am getting better at it - some work looks great, some looks very poor.
3. What were your challenges?
I forgot to clone a channel, I noticed halfway through that I had lost my blue channel and had to start over.

2. What was the intended result you hoped to create with the puppet warp tool? What options do you see the puppet warp tool might offer you in future projects?
I will use this to put more of a smile on my kids faces when we have pictures, but I don’t see me using this feature too often.
3. When would you use quick mask tool instead of the mask palette?
I used the mask palette each time.
4. Did you find the channels section of the book challenging? How do you think you might use it in future projects? Did you complete the extra credit?
I found the channels section of moderate difficulty; I will surely use this in future projects, and I did complete the extra credit.
5. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
I am taking off… I use v, then ctrl+LeftClick to select the layer I need. I use shift+shortcut to access sub menus, and I use the slider to adjust the sizes
