Lab 2 Reflection

The goal of lab two was to be able to duplicate and change the image size, color, hue, and saturation. I was able to do the lab by first opening Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. Next I gone to Jupitergrades and got the JPEG doggy image for my assignment. Then I saved the JPEG doggy image on the Macintosh computer. I reopened Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. After that I placed the image from the Finder to Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 by going to the top left hand corner and selecting the File tab. When the File tab opened, I clicked the place embedded button to place the JPEG doggy image into Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. Afterwards I used the magnetic lasso tool to select only the doggy in the picture. I right clicked on the selected doggy to place it into a new layer named layer 1. I turned off the eye on the original photo of the doggy so that only the selected doggy showed. I copied and created new layers of the doggy by dragging layer 1 to the post-it icon on the bottom right hand corner of the Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 window 8 times. Therefore I went back to layer 1 and resized the image of the doggy by clicking on the doggy, pressing command+T to resize, and moving my mouse to the top right hand corner to drag the image diagonally down.  This made the doggy smaller and tinier. I used the move tool to move the doggy in the desired spot I had chosen for it to be there. I did the same for all 8 other doggy images.  For all 9 resized dogs, I next used the magic wand tool and clicked on the space outside the doggy. I gone to the top left hand corner of Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 and clicked on the select tab. Once the selected tab opened, I clicked on the inverse button.  After that I used the color icon on the bottom right hand corner to select the color, hue, brightness, and saturation of the dogs. After that part, I left clicked on a layer, held down shift, left clicked on another layer, and right clicked to select merge layers. I did this on all layers of the doggy. Lastly I clicked on the eye icon of the original picture of the doggy image to have the all of the dogs appear on the image. Also, I renamed the lab 2 to Lab 2_Wei Jian Zhen_VD.psd and saved it on the Macintosh computer. Learning how to duplicate images, change the image size, color, hue, and saturation is important for a web designer because it makes the web designer know how to adjust their artwork in projects. Furthermore it allows the web designer to know what color is best and what is not the best in their projects. Also, these skills can aid them in jobs that require Adobe Photoshop.
