Lab 5 Effects and Adjustments

-A Photoshop mask is a tool used in Photoshop that allows you to add a mask to a layer which hides or shows a part of the layer.
-We add a layer mask by first selecting the layer you want to mask, then select the area you want shown, then click the add layer mask that is located at the bottom of the layers palette.
-The difference between the quick mask mode and the standard mode is that in quick mask mode you can make a selection using the brush.

           For this lab I switched me and my partners head making a bubble head image. The tools I used were Photo booth, Photoshop, move tool, quick mask mode, standard mode, add new layer, brush tool and I re-sized the heads.I did it by selecting the quick mask mode and painted over me and my partners face with the brush tool and then changed it to standard mode so it can get selected and added a layer mask. Then I swapped heads and re-sized them. This skill is useful because now I know how to edit the picture in a more realistic way using the Photoshop mask. I see myself using this knowledge in the future for my future labs, projects and for editing my own pictures.
