Photoshop Project - 3rd Step

Okay, so we've learned how to isolate the background and alter it with photoshop filters. 
  • Btw, you can use the pen tool as a slower but easier way to trace the outline...better than the magnetic lasso tool. 
  • After going around the face with the pen tool, make sure it is on the actual layer and that little "Paths" selection in the top left.
  • Go to paths (in the layer box) and drag into the mask option. Copy and Paste...
  • After selecting yourself (not the background) drag the layer selection to the "Create Layer Mask" option. Go to the new file we have made of a textured background. Copy the selection of yourself and paste into the new textured image to have a new background. 
  • Edit edges appropriately.
Ethnographic research is the observation of any type of people around you whether they be in your class or in your dorm. The example we had was studying what consumers want to see when they enter the front of a store.
