The document discusses various tools used in photo editing software: 1) The selection tool was used to move layers and resize text and images. 2) The magnetic lasso tool helped outline a model from the background automatically. 3) The text tool allowed adding text to a new layer and formatting fonts and size. 4) The rubber stamp tool copied pixels from one photo area to another, such as removing background around hair. 5) Blur and sharpen tools were used to blur the background and sharpen the model for contrast. 6) The paint bucket tool filled areas with specific colors like those in a logo.

1. I used this tool to click on all the text boxes and pictures and decide where
to move them about. To be able to use this, I had to click on the layer that I
wanted to move. This tool was also helpful as it is a resize tool which helped
me to change sizes of the text and images.
I used this Magnetic lasso tool because it
helped me outline the picture of my model
from the background itself. This is because
the tool automatically creates fastening
points that clinge to the edges of the

only parts of it. This tool was
not as helpful as the
Magnetic lasso tool.
To use this text tool, I just had to make a new layer, click on the icon then
click on the place where I wanted to insert my text. This tool was used the
most as my newsletter includes cover lines, kickers, explanatory text,
dateline, masthead, and a strap line. This tool was very useful as it
allowed me to choose the types on fonts I wanted to use and change
the size. Also, when highlighting my text, I had the option to change the
colour of the font.
I used the rubber stamp (clone) tool to copy pixels from one part of a
picture to the other. For example, when I inserted my picture of the
model, around her hair was extra parts from the background, so I used
this tool to clone it around.
I clicked on the layer of my
background because I wanted to blur
it enough so that my model was more
noticeable. I found this Gaussian Blur
tool very useful because it added a
low frequency detail effect and
produced my background quite hazy.
I also used the Sharpen tool on the layer of my model. This is because I wanted
the picture to look a higher quality and more noticeable. Both these tools were
helpful together as I made the background blurry contrasted with a sharpened
photo in front.
This tool was used most of the time when I had to use a certain colour for my
logo. In this case, I used black, red, and yellow.
