This project taught me new ways to do some things I already knew how to do within Photoshop. I learned many different ways to remove the background of a foreground image and ways to fix errors made while removing the background. I learned new shortcuts that made the process much easier and allowed me to keep working without switching tools. I became more efficient at doing repetitive tasks and was able to explore some different tools that were not required for the project. I thought this project was relatively easy once the day’s demonstration was done. The additional directions on the slides helped clear up any misunderstandings as well. I could improve my greeting card by making the layer mask for foreground images more accurate. There were a few places that I could not distinguish between the foreground and background of an image. I think for a future assignment this project could be improved by having students create their own imagery out of other photos or using different photoshop tools. I read about photomontage and it gave me the idea to add more than one flower on the inside and to layer them with an outer glow effect. I think this made it more interesting to look at.
