To me I could talk about Disney World for hours. It’s the greatest place in the world to me. Surprising to other people that might be but how could you not believe it’s the most magical place in the world. I experienced Disney World with my boyfriend for the first time this April. We had an abundance of fun and I wouldn’t trade our trip for the world. It was amazing being able to experience this new world with someone who has never had the chance. I’m excited for our future trips together to the amazing dream of mine.
This is my boyfriend Abel. Abel is the most supportive, wonderful man, I’ve ever dated. He helps me sort through difficult times in my life like they were never a problem to begin with. I’m happy I got to meet this amazing human being two years ago. He’s truly changed my life for the better and has helped me along the way become a better person these last couple of years.
Zeena is my red baby Husky. She’s very loving and enjoys being treated like a princess. Zeena is extremely smart but can often be bad when she wants to be. My boyfriend and I were so excited to take her into our loving home. Zeena just got done playing with some of her friends from the dog park in this photo.
I would love to experience and take on a new journey somewhere south when I graduate from FLCC in May. I’ve always wanted to work for Disney so I’m hoping and praying I can get accepted into a college close to the park.
I graduated high school with a 3.6 gpa. I was extremely proud of this moment because when I was in middle school, below, I never focused or pushed myself to do very well.
I graduated from the Hochstein School of Music when I was a freshman in high school. I attended the school for one year. I completed my final at the end of the year by singing a solo. I personally chose which song I sang. The song I picked was from the movie Mulan.
Making a video in Photoshop can be a way to make all memories into one motion picture. When making a video in Photoshop, you can add audio and different effects to make for a really cool video. It’s great having a digital software that allows people to make videos.
When working with selection tools in Photoshop, it’s usually a two step process. First using one of the selection tools to select part of the photo you want to change. You would then use another tool, filter, or other tool to make changes. You can make changes with these other tools like moving the selected pixels to a different location or applying filters to the selected area in your image. Selections can be made by size, color. and shape. When your selection is active, changes you make apply only to your selected area. The other areas of your photo that have not been selected are unaffected.
There are four main types of selections:
Geometric selections-
The Rectangular Marquee tool ( selects a rectangular area in an image)
The Elliptical Marquee tool ( Hidden underneath the Rectangular Marquee tool, selects elliptical areas)
Single Row Marquee tool (selects a 1-pixel-high row)
Single Column Marquee tool ( selects a 1-pixel-wide column, respectively)
Freehand selections-
The Lasso tool (traces a freehand selection around an area)
The Polygonal Lasso tool (sets anchor points in straight-line segments around an area)
The Magnetic Lasso tool (works something like a combination of the other two lasso tools, and gives the best results when good contrast exists between the area you want to select and its surroundings)
Edge-based selections-
The Quick Selection tool (quickly paints a selection by automatically finding and following defined edges in the image)
Color-based selections
The Magic Wand tool (selects parts of an image based on similarity in pixel color)
I loved using the Geometric selections like the Elliptical Marquee tool in this chapter. I enjoyed and found it very relaxing that I didn’t have to do much hard work for this lesson. The Elliptical Marquee tool made it easy to outline the parts of my image that I wanted to take out and place in the background of my new black image. I like to describe this tool as if it were acting as the claw game. It’s almost like I can simply reach in to my image with this tool, pull it out, and place it where I want it.
In this chapter, I mainly used the Elliptical Marquee tool. I took the border that was given to us in our lesson start files. I searched for a black background and used a simple color for my background. My next step was selecting peace signs from different images on the internet. I saved all the different photos I used for my overall image on Photoshop. With each peace sign photo, I used the Elliptical Marquee tool. I selected every peace sign and removed it from its original background. I then pasted the peace sign images back onto my new black background image on Photoshop.
