Over the past couple of weeks, we have been working with bitmap graphics in Photoshop. We've been practicing using multiple different tools, but one tool that I have found to be one of the most useful was the Quick Selection Tool. The image above is an example of a usage for the quick selection tool. We took a black and white photo and converted it to color using blend modes. I used the quick selection tool to select certain parts of the image specifically and converted them to color. The tool allowed me to make very precise selections to make sure everything was changed correctly. I have found out that the tool is the most useful when used in combination with the pan tool and magnify tool. Using these tools in combination with quick selection allows you to make precise selections up to the pixel. Another tool that I have found extremely useful in Photoshop is the Quick Mask Tool. This tool allows you to remove portions of an image and it will not destroy the edited portions. The image above is an example of a usage of the quick mask tool. I used different images from the internet and merged them together to form a sandwich. I used the quick mask tool to remove the white border from each image, as a white border would result in a very non-realistic looking image. The tool allows for a very quick solution to remove parts of an image that are unwanted with ease. There are multiple more applications of this tool than just the example shown above. Conclusion -
