Opie Evaluation

As I previously had a brief understanding of Photoshop, I did not find this task particularly challenging. However, there were still a few problems I came across using certain tools such as the magnetic lasso tool. I found that it was not following what I was looking to select and had to try multiple times, in some cases, to get it right. Personally, I found that the hardest task was getting the hair and hair highlights correct as they ended up very rough and had to smooth the edges towards the end.  Also, the ears were a problem for me because, as I previously mentioned, I had some difficulty using the magnetic lasso tool. The easiest task to do was the face and facial features because they didn’t require much precision with mouse movements, as they were one of the main parts to the project. I found that the task was both interesting and enjoyable because I like to spend my spare time editing images using Photoshop and I also enjoy learning new ways to do different things, such as learning how to do an Opie project and what tools are appropriate to each specific task. Doing this task has not only interested me in furthering my understanding of Photoshop but has also shown me what else I could do using this program and motivated me to look into developing my Photoshop skills even further.
