Jessica Gregoire- Project 8



1. Discuss your experience using rulers and guides.

I really like working with rulers and guides. I love the "snap" feature that automatically snaps the picture onto the line. It makes laying out your photoshop composites a lot easier.


2. What was your favorite filter combination? How did filters contribute to your results? Did they improve or distract from the result you desired?

I really liked working with these filters, although I'm not sure how I would use them in every project. For the image above, I applied sponge and dry brush to the towel. It gave the image a really cool watercolor effect. I really like the glass distortion filter and the cutout filter as well.


3. Describe your experience using Smart Objects and the editing process.

I thought it was really easy to convert layers into Smart Objects and work with them, especially in the filter gallery. I found the process to be pretty simple.


4. In your second composite, please describe your favorite features you used to create your advanced composite. How did you challenge yourself in creating your results.

I really enjoy using quick select and the filter gallery and I've become pretty quick at grabbing selections with quick select. I also like playing with the layer effects to see how I can enhance the images. I think every project is a challenge, and this one challenged me just because I couldn't remember how to use certain tools and had to do a quick refresher course before starting this project.


5. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?

In addition to the shortcuts I've been using, I started using x and [ ]. I love adjusting the brush size with the brackets.


6. Add a link to your completed project.

Happy Memorial Day! Here's my completed Project 8
