Introduction To Photoshop

In our first Photoshop lesson it was rather hard as we learnt many different skills which we were then asked to use. The first lesson we learnt was how to copy and paste using the lassoo tool. In order to use the lasso tool we outlined the object we wanted to paste with the lassoo and then pressed Copy-Edit-Edit-Paste. Then using the move tool, we move it. Another tool which we learnt how to use was the Dodge, Burn and Sponge tool. With the Dodge tool, you can make your image darker; with the burn tool you can make the image lighter. This includes the use of highlights which can be used to give the image a glowing or burning effect. Another useful tool which we learned how to use was the Spot Healing Brush. This takes away any unpleasant spots, marks or any part of an image you do not want in the picture. You can use the history brush to undo any mistakes you have made. There are other tools such as the Smudge tool and the Liquifier which distort and elongate images.
