Homework task #2!


Let me take you on a journey into the land of photoshop.

Each image is usually made up of layers, which separate different aspects of the image, so they can be changed without disrupting the other parts of the picture. So this image to the left has 5 different layers; the blue oval, the grey shadow, text, the background, and the model. Therefore if I wanted to erase the grey scribble, I could select to work on that layer, and wouldn't end up erasing the background too!

If I wanted to perfect the shape of the blue oval, but can't see the bottom of it...I could hide the layers with the model, grey shadow, and text [this is shown in the picture below.]





So it's exactly the same image as above, but the layers have been switched around.

You can do other fun things like make a layer more transparent, or delete the whole layer if you decide you hate it...but the rest of the image will be the same as before.

And there's a tab at the side of the screen, so you won't lose your mind flicking between the layers...
