For the past few days in my Digital Design and Animation class we have been learning how to use Photoshop and how to properly use the tools in it. Photoshop is one of those things where you struggle in one area a lot and succeed greatly in others. My first assignment, making a sandwich in Photoshop with different ingredients (bread, tomato, etc), was pretty easy, but it obviously took me some time to get used to it and understand the tools to actually make it look good. My second assignment was making a Shot Marlins-style image in Photoshop, first with an image of a football play provided by our teacher, and second with our own face. Now this assignment was very confusing for me, as selecting which sections I wanted to color, which sections needed to be changed, some confusing controls well, confused me at times and slowed me down greatly. On top of that I was a day late as I needed to finish my sandwich assignment. Some of these errors were simple mistakes fixed with a command or in two clicks of the mouse, others were mistakes made when I first started and perhaps added the wrong thing originally or maybe pressed a wrong button. Keep in mind that this is only the player we are talking about, I have not gotten to doing that on my face yet. As confusing Photoshop can be these experiences can help me greatly in solving problems I have later in the year, like what commands will fix what, what button does what, and what NOT to do whenever you do an assignment. I can use the experience from making the football player into the Warhol-style image on my face for the next part of our assignment, and I can use the encounters in both the sandwich and Warhol assignments for future projects we have. Learning basic Photoshop was a bumpy ride but I am determined I can master it this year.
