Hey Dolls and Gents! Today for our media lesson we joined another media class to receive a tutorial on how to use photoshop. The teacher went through photoshop with us by picking a simple picture of bits of chocolate on a table and experimenting on the picture with us by using different types of photoshop tools. In my opinion, even though photoshop is quite tricky. It more of a trial and error thing. You try new stuff when you discover new tools and then you try them on your image and see if they would make any affect which would attract your target audience. I haven't got the image i was working on unfortunately or else i would've uploaded it but i will definitly show you some of my other trails and errors with photoshop before i start on the preliminary task. Things i learned this lesson was the different types of tools on Photoshop and what effects they make on your image. This is for example, " the plastic wrap" tool. This tool gives your image white bubble looking spots which gives an effect of your image being wrapped in plastic. Another example is " the patchwork tool". This tool gives the image a look of that when you take a picture of a video. A bit patchy and distracting. The thing i didnt really understand this lesson was how to use Photoshop. I used Photoshop last year and got on with it quite well but the knowledge of how to use it faded away but thanks to the lesson things slighty started popping up in my head and i was quite familair with some things already.
