Gull Shopping

Friday, July 31, 2009 at 4:27 PM
Learning lots about selection in Photoshop these past few days .  This gull I 'shopped is a bit rough, well ok...very rough, but I am learning and getting the hang of selecting objects in a photo.  I look at this and see where it is rough, where I forgot things, and forgot to smooth things but all in all, I learned a bit and I 'm getting a tiny bit more comfortable. 

Here you see the before and after photo.  The original had a little boy right behind the gull, I didn't know any of the people in the photo and you could hardly see the gull.  It took me about an hour to get the results I show here.  I may try this one again and get it right next time.

Two things, I keep forgetting where things are, and  I forget how to do something I have done before but the secret is to do less, and do the same thing more often adding new things very slowly.  This is the absolute most challenging software I have ever tackled.
