The document discusses the author's experience using Photoshop and other image editing tools. While experienced with selection and color adjustment tools in Photoshop, the author learned to use the picker tool and other selection methods to precisely extract parts of images. They also experimented with airbrushing tools at low opacity to subtly remove unwanted image elements. When trying Publisher, the author found that most tools mirrored Photoshop's interface, allowing their Photoshop skills to transfer effectively for page layout tasks like designing double page spreads.

2. I’m quite practiced in most of the tools on Photoshop, such as the text and shape tools, as well as the tools used for color enhancement and replacement. However I wasn’t as aware of the picker tool and other selection tools which help to extract parts of an image, before I simply used the selection tool to cut a square out of the image and used the eraser tool to remove excess parts. I also decided to use more of the airbrushing tools to remove some parts of an image which would disrupt the shot to improve the photograph. I mostly used the paint brush tool on a low opacity and hardness to create a lighter, thinner layer that I could build up by duplicating the layer or changing the opacity.

3. This program was new to me, I hadn’t really used it in depth but after practicing I found it very similar to Photoshop. I developed my contents page and double page spread on the program instead of Photoshop because the layout of publisher was much more efficient. On publisher I learnt how to create and design a double page spread. I found that most of the tools had the same icon and purpose as Photoshop, so I didn’t take me long to become familiar with them.
