Our first introduction to photoshop was led by Matt. We were taken to the media computer room and logged on. Matt told us to find an image on his Hurtwood image sharing file. We then learnt to use the lasso tool to cut out a certain area of an image and clone it to place it somewhere else. To do this you use the lasso tool to cut around the certain area, ater copy it, go to edit and paste it.
We then learnt how to use the spot remover. This tool merges nearby colours on the area. This is useful to remove spots from your pictures. After we learnt how to use the tools burn,sponge and dodge. Burn can make certain areas of a picture darker. Sponge can make sertain areas black and white and dodge can add a red and orange mark on pictures. Matt also taught us how to use the liquidfy tool. To get onto this option you go to view and then click on "liquidfy". With this, you can stretch areas of the picture and disort it. I personally really like this tool.
