Digital Media: Cutting and masking.

Digital media class today. Learning about the cutting and masking tools available in Photoshop.

Here we are practicing clean cutting...

...and this is my spoon cut from the background.

Here I used the Polygonal Lasso to seperate object from from the background...

 ...and this is the result.

 We used the pen tool here to get the curves and angles right... 

 ...and here it is cut out.

 Using a combination of all the tools we learned about today and with a lot of help from the tutor, we worked on cutting out the dancer and the lettering from this image...

 ...showing steps in progress...

 Added another layer and painted into the background...

...put through lightroom to give the image a boarder and finally exporting two variations.

 BAM!
