Understanding Resolution – Task 4
1) Will a 300 dpi image or a 72 dpi image be clearer when printed out at the same size? How come?
The 300 dpi image would print much more clearer then the one at 72 dpi because because there are 228 more dots per inch.
2) What would a picture created at 1 dpi look like?
A picture at 1 dpi would look very square and jagged. The images look like stairs.
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.
