Abigail Miller created a digital imaging project in Photoshop for her class, which was her second time using the software. She initially created the project in black and white but later discovered she would need to redo it entirely in color after being unable to change the existing file from black and white. For the new color version, she had to manually erase backgrounds and unwanted areas without the "magic wand" tool, missing a few spots during the erasing process.

Narrative of Photoshop
My Digital Imaging project was a mess when I first began. This is only the second time
that I have ever used Photoshop so it took a lot of work for this very simple project. The first
time that I did this project, everything was in black and white so I thought that after I finished the
project, I could just change a setting and everything would go back to color. I started with the
outline of West Virginia in the middle. After, I put in the text on the top and bottom and
followed that with the four images on the sides of the outline. I then tweaked everything and
began looking for the color setting. After a long while of frustration, I found out that I would
have to redo the entire project and make sure that the setting was in color. So, I opened a new
document and started from scratch. For some reason, I did not have the “magic wand” that many
other people had, so I had to manually erase the background and the things that I did not want in
the image. Looking at it now without he transparent background, I see that I missed a few places
when I was erasing.
