LECTURES

Lecture 3 - Introduction to Photoshop 2

• Lasso Tool

The Lasso Tool allow you to draw and pinpoint specific areas of a document.

When you click on the Lasso Tool from the Toolbar, you will see three different tool options:

-Lasso

-Polygonal Lasso

-Magnetic Lasso

（Fig.3)

The lasso tool is similar to a pencil and has a better flow.

• Pen Tool

When it comes to actually creating a path from scratch, the pen tool is the most common option.

The pen tool is the way that you add these points and the way you drag the tool as you create the points determines how  they will look.

The fewer points, the smoother a path will be.

• Layering

Layers are different images stacked on top of each other.

The advantage of using layers is that you can make non-destructive edits to the original.

FEEDBACK

Week 3 :This week, Mr.Fauzi asked us to collage the content cut out from the last class on the paper and gave us one-to-one instruction. Let's highlight the theme, all objects should go in the same direction, maybe from left to right, maybe from top to bottom, immediately catch someone's eye. Space between objects is appropriate. The sense of breath is very important. It helps me a lot.
