Questions and Answers
1.What combination of tools did you use to isolate the fruit in “fruit_combo.jpg” and where in the image did you use which tool?
I used a combination of the magnetic lasso tool and the eraser. I used the magnetic tool to go around the fruit bowl and then I zoomed into specific areas, especially the bottom of the bowl, and used the eraser to erase the uneven edges.
2. Of the methods you used to isolate the fruit in the 3 pictures. Which method did you find most effective in this case?
I found the magentic lasso tool the most effective because it was very simple to use and did a sufficient job isolating the fruit bowl.
3. Experiment with the following:
After you make a selection in the menu and go to
a) Select > Modify > Expand
b) Select > Modify > Contract
c) Select > Feather
What do these do? Post a fourth image indicating that you know what feathering does.
When expanding or contracting, the selection marquee increases or decreases by the number of pixels you input. Feathering gives the selection a soft edge. Creating a soft edge around a selection can blend images, highlight objects, and adjust harsh edges.
