Photoshop

In class we went over how to put together 3 images: one from a camera, one from a scanner, and one from Tumblr and have them look like they belong. Before taking this class I have never worked with photoshop in my life, though I have heard of it and I knew that it was used to put images together. This whole process was very confusing and very tedious. Me and Cathy came to the lab to work on ours together since we were both equally lost as to how we were supposed to make these 3 images look realistic. She had looked at YouTube the day prior to our meeting so she at least had some idea as to how we were going to accomplish this activity and I am glad she did!! The video the guy posted on how to blend images together was perfect and very detailed so it was instrumental to our some-what success of this assignment. I now have more of an idea of how to cut out an image using the "lasso" tool and copying and pasting it onto the background where you can then size it in a way that will make the image seems like it belongs in that background. I don't think my images are 100% realistic because you can still notice that the picture has been doctored but it is way more than I had ever accomplished before with Photoshop and I am really happy with the end results.
