Tool review

     This project was to review all of the tools we have used previously.  I chose five photos that I'd taken that I wanted to put on the background (fence) and used different methods to cut them out and make them look good.  I used the quick selection tool to cut out both people by starting in the middle of them and going outward.  I then refined the edge to make it look a little smoother.  I have to do this after cutting everything else out too.  I used the elliptical marquee tool to cut out the flower.  I made a circle and moved it over the flower by holding the space bar.  I used the polygonal lasso tool to cut out the sign on the fence.  I started in a corner and drew straight lines to all of the edges until I was back where I started.  The magic wand tool was used to cut out the tree branch in the corner.  I just clicked on the branch and it selected the whole thing.  The layer mask tool is used to cover up part of pictures I didn't want showing.  I just used the paint brush and the black color to do this.  I had to make sure to resize the image as well.
