Week 3

LECTURE

In the lecture, Mr. Fauzi gave an explanation about basic tools of Adobe Photoshop (Lasso tool, Pen tool and Layering) while showing some samples and videos.

Lasso Tool

The Lasso Tool allow you to draw and pinpoint specific areas of a document. If you like drawing with pencil and paper or cutting and pasting objects from a photo, then you will love the Lasso Tool.

When you click on the Lasso Tool from the Toolbar, you will see three different tool options: 

• Lasso 

• Polygonal Lasso 

• Magnetic Lasso

Pen Tool

When it comes to actually creating a path from scratch, the pen tool is the most common option. 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.

Also, teacher introduced a website that we can practice pen tool: https://bezier.method.ac

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. It could look something like this in real life.
