Selection

Selection
We will be working on this one together in order to show you the different selection tools. When we are done, it will look like this:
 * Thursday, September 11th and Friday, September 12th**
 * Here is the file you will need for today: [[file:Book with lock.psd|Book with Lock]]
 * Tools we will use: **Lasso, Quick Select, Magic Wand, Magnetic Lasso, Marquee, Move, Deselect, Inverse, Scaling**



Monday, September 15th

 * You will need this file saved in your selection folder: [[file:Salad.psd]]
 * Use the selection tools we have practiced to create a file that looks like this (make sure to remove the background of the olives--mine is intentionally not correct so no one can copy it):
 * If you are unsure of how to do it, you can check back on the Book with Lock for ideas/directions.
 * Save it as lastname_salad and as a PSD AND a JPEG file



Tuesday, September 16th
The file you will need for today is:

Using the food elements, create a Mr. Potato Head. You will need to duplicate the elements (since he has 2 eyes, 2 ears and 2 eyebrows) To get them going the other way, you will need to go to EDIT>Transform>FLIP (and either horizontal or vertical depending on the element)

Here is an example of how he should look.



Wednesday, September 17th
The file you will need for today is:

For the gingerbread house, you will need to make sure to place the chimney first and then the frame of the house, otherwise it will not go together. Use the CRTL T feature to transform and flip the walls of the house as needed and to adjust things. Also the Skittles on the roof need to be moved individually and scattered randomly. They should not look orderly (like the example does).

Make sure to crop it to get rid of the cut out areas. If you are unsure of how to do this, ASK and Mrs. Ferris will show you

Save it as gingerbreadhouse_lastname.psd and as gingerbreadhouse_lastname.jpg

Monday, September 22nd
Use the files from last Thursday to get these files ready. I will provide a demo of a few things about half way through class.

__**Gull:**__ Remove the bird from the background. Once you have a perfect selection, copy and paste it to a new layer. (Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V) You should see a new layer added to your palette. Save this as Gull_lastname as a PSD.

__**Beach Ball:**__ Remove the ball from the background. I would suggest using the elliptical marquee tool on this one. Once you have a perfect selection, copy and paste it to a new layer. (Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V) You should see a new layer added to your palette. Save this as Beachball_lastname as a PSD.

__**Beach Pail:**__ Remove the yellow pail from the background. Try using the Quick Selection tool here. Remember to decrease brush size and use the Shift/Alt key to add or minus from your selection. Try getting the shadow at the front of the pail, not underneath it, included in your selection. Once you have a perfect selection, copy and paste it to a new layer. (Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V) You should see a new layer added to your palette. Save this as BeachPail_lastname as a PSD.

__**Large Umbrella:**__ Remove the umbrella from the background. Once you have a perfect selection, copy and paste it to a new layer. (Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V) You should see a new layer added to your palette. Save this as Largeumbrella_lastname as a PSD.

Using the files you created in class and the instructions from the demonstration, move the elements into the Beach Base to make it look like this (only better). Remember to remove the people/extra chairs and place in at least 2 birds, the umbrella, the pail and the ball to make the image.

Save it as lastname_beachbase as a PSD and a JPG file. Submit the JPG file through Classroom for grading
