Fruit Bowl – Task 3
Lasso Tool
Wand Tool
Combination of Lasso and Wand Tool
1. What combination of tools did you use to isolate the fruit in “fruit_combo.jpg” and where in the image did you use which tool?
* To isolate the fruit bowl in the third picture I used the magic wand at the top to get rid of all like colour spaces, I then traced the shape with the magnetic lasso and inversed it. I deleted the outer area.
2. Of the methods you used to isolate the fruit in the 3 pictures. Which method did you find most effective in this case?
* I personally found that using the magnetic took the best for this assignment. I quickly picked up the shape of the fruit bowl.
3. Experiment with the following:
After you make a selection in the menu and go to
a) Select > Modify > Expand
b) Select > Modify > Contract
c) Select > Feather
What do these do? Post a fourth image indicating that you know what feathering does.
* Expanding makes the selected area.
* Contract does the opposite and makes the selected area smaller.
* Feather gives the picture a glowing affect. It blurs everything in the surronding area of the selected space.
