Assignments working with selection and transform tools

So we have spent time working with selection tools, the rectangle marquee, ellipitical marquee, magic wand, quick select, lasso and magnetic lasso.  In addition, you worked with the content aware tool.

You also worked on the transform tool, which adjusted the size of the image/layer you are working with.  You can do this my using the command T keyboard command or go to the menu bar and click
 edit  > transform > scale

Your next two assignments are going to use these skills to create a picture. 

1.  Put yourself there 

Find a photo of a place you would like to visit or be at, making sure to use your skills and tools in google image to find a large file.  

Take a picture of yourself, using the built in camera on your computer, your phone or a camera.  Upload or email yourself the photo so you may use it in photoshop. 

Then you will add yourself into the background and use selection and transform tools to make it look like you were actually there.  No worries about the possible lighting issues or color issues, we will get to how to fix these next week. 

2. Me and Me Pictures 

This is a project where you are doing something to or for yourself.  For example, you are handing yourself a book, or helping yourself off the floor.  This can be a little more challenging since you have to think about how you will set yourself up on both sides to achieve a realistic photo in the end.  Be creative!!
