For the final unit that I did in my Technology class, I had to learn how to photoshop, throughout this unit I learned many things and had many struggles. Going into photoshop unit I thought that it would be very easy and I would be able to just copy and paste images in, but after the first day of exploring I knew it would be harder then I thought. We used the software Adobe Photoshop and they have many different tools that you have to put to use before even starting editing. For example, I had to use the layer, distortion, and visibility tools before I even started to make a cut on images. I had to use the layer took first so that I would actually be able to edit and move the elephants and giraffes, then I had to change the distortion so all of the elephants could look the same, and my final step into prep was the visibility that made the back ground image a little lighter to match the animals. The only issues that I faced during this unit was being able to cut images out, because for each of my animals i had to cut them out using the knife tool, then I had to use the eraser and zoom very close in to get all of the tiny white pixels out from the background. I created this image because I had already had the image as my background, and why I heard that we were doing a photoshop unit I knew I wanted to incorporate this photo in. I don't know if this picture was of a safari or not, but I really liked the tree and it sort of symbolized life to me, so I decided to add some animals using it as its habitat. I think that I will be able to use some of the patience that I gained in this unit, because at first it was very stressful and I wanted to quit at first. I thought what was the point and started to stress when I couldn't do something, but I went back and watched the videos and they helped a little but the rest of it was patience when I had to crop the images. The main skill that I am going to take out of this is the taking marks out of an image and replacing them with something else, for example on the elephants they had someones @ name on the leg so I had to cut that out little by little to make it seem like it was regular. Ultimately I am very glad with everything I learned, and I am proud with myself for not giving up on myself or this unit.
