My Adobe Photoshop Experience

Lately I used adobe photoshop for a couple of school projects that let me practice with altering images in a non-destructive way. In this project, Layering a Sandwich, it was pretty enjoyable once I got the hang of it. In this project the wand tool was heavily used. Each item had to be cleanly cropped In order to make a more realistic looking sandwich. After you're finished piecing together the sandwich the fun part is finding a drink and a bag of chips to go with it. This project made me more confident with using photoshop. In a more recent project, we were asked to create a piece in the style of a guy named Andy Warhol who created the famous Marilyn Diptych series. To be able achieve this, we had to change the contrast with threshold, and you can mess with the colors from there. But to make the piece more resemble Andy Warhol's image, you need to make the canvas wider, duplicate the layer and drag the two duplicates to the sides of your choice. After I got the extra guidance I needed, things started to go smoothly. Over all, I am thankful for both of these projects because if allows me to get a feel of Photoshop and the mere basics of something a lot more elaborate and something like this that is used a lot in our society. I just want that in the near future I would learn a lot more exciting and useful things about Adobe Photoshop.
