1. Crop tool
I regularly used the crop tool to crop out parts
Of the image and wording that were not necessary
To my magazine. To use the crop tool I had to click
On the icon down the left hand side bar and select
The tool. I the dragged the shape over part of the
Image that I wanted to keep.
2. Lasoo tools
The lasso tool took an
important part of editing my
product, I used all three lasso
tools for different purposes
but the magnetic lasso tool in
particular. I used these to
select the correct area, when
cutting out my background or
to use for further editing.
3. Brush tool
I continuously used the brush tool to blend or
change colours of the images. I used this tool for
various reasons such as to change the colour of
parts of my model.
4. Text
The text tool was very useful for inserting
text onto my three products and images. It is
added as a new layer and is used to add vital text
over my images to make it appear conventional
and effective.
5. Layers
Layers are on of the most
vital parts of using
photoshop. They are used
to add a new section to my
products, so that they are
easy to move around, to
edit individual sections
and delete if necessary,
without having to delete
the whole image. I created
several new layers to add
text, images, plugs and
other different features to
my products.
