Introduction to Photoshop
Lasso Tool
- Allows you to draw and pinpoint specific areas of a document.
- When you click on the Lasso Tool from the Toolbar, you will see three different tool options
- Lasso
- Polygonal Lasso
- Magnetic Lasso
Great to use with a graphic tablet because it is similar to a pencil. Unlike a mouse or trackpad, a graphic tablet can give a better flow when drawing and making selections.
Pen Tool
Creates a path from scratch.
The pen tool is the way that you add these points and the way you drag the tool as you create the points determines how they will look.
The fewer points, the smoother a path will be.

Layering
- Layers are different images stacked on top of each other.
- You can use each layer without affecting another one to make adjustments.
- Together they form one final image.
- You can use layers for non-destructive editing.
- Your adjustments in Photoshop will never destroy the original image.
Practical: Digital Collage
Composition #1
 |
| Fig 1.1 Composition 1 (09/09/21) |
This collage was inspired by sci-fi novels. It shows how humans are trying to defend the Earth with a shark cannon and the aliens counter-attacking with humanoids they’ve created. “Man against wild” but reversed?! Composition wise, I used the Rule of Thirds with the fencer and alien ship in the intersection points.
Composition #2
 |
| Fig 1.2 Composition 2 (09/09/21) |
This composition was inspired by Super Mario. The rebels (fencers) are running amok in between the upper and lower cities to try and capture each other. This composition uses symmetry to capture the attention to viewers and it also gives an overall balance to the composition.
Composition #3

Feedback
- COMPOSITION #1 is the best! Good job Evaleez.
