LECTURE
- Lasso Tool, Pen Tool &Layering.
- Selection, Layering
- Tool Box: Photoshop provides several tool sets in the Toolbox, and you can expand the tool sets to reveal additional tools.
- Marquee Selection Tools: Select and Mask
LASSON TOOL
- How to Use the Lasso Tool: The Lasso Tool allow you to draw and pinpoint specific areas of a document. If you like drawing with pencil and paper or cutting and pasting objects from a photo, then you will love the Lasso Tool
- When you click on the Lasso Tool from the Toolbar, you will see three different tool options: Lasso ,Polygonal Lasso, Magnetic Lasso
- The Lasso Tool is great to use with a graphic tablet because it is similar to a pencil. Unlike a mouse or trackpad, a graphic tablet can give a better flow when drawing and making selections.
PEN TOOL
- When it comes to actually creating a path from scratch, the pen tool is the most common option. The pen tool is the way that you add these points and the way you drag the tool as you create the points determines how they will look. Remember, the fewer points, the smoother a path will be.
LASSO TOOL VS PEN TOOL
- The pen tool is a versatile tool in Photoshop that can be used to create extremely precise shapes and paths, using manually placed anchor points. Although commonly used to make selections, the pen tool was not natively made as a “selection tool”
LAYERING
- Layers are different images stacked on top of each other. You can use each layer without affecting another one to make adjustments. Together they form one final image. It could look something like this in real life.
- The advantage of using Layers is that you can save a Photoshop file with all the layers included. This means you can use layers for non-destructive editing. Your adjustments in Photoshop will never destroy the original image. The layers contain all the extra information and/ or images you want to add to the original file.
