In our Photoshop Induction we learnt how to use the basic tools and shortcuts within the software so that we are able to create work faster and more efficiently. I also found out the fundamentals of resolution, so that for future reference I can create work that will have the best quality for both web and for printing. I have some experience with Photoshop, in terms of using it alongside a digital tablet, and also the basic tools like changing levels and adding new layers, but not so much in terms of blending images together and the technicalities of resizing images.
During the second half of the day we were taught on how to use layer masking and how to change specific areas on individual layers. I focused on masking large parts of images and then changing the hue, tone and colour on the areas that were left visible. I used this lesson more so to experiment with all the new tools and options that are available in photoshop hence why the colours on my images are so vivid and contrasting. I wanted to be able to see what I was changing, for example the pink canyons and the pink sky.
But overall I found I learn a lot in this induction, and I found using simple keys for shortcuts to access basic tools to be the most useful and convenient. And I look forward to using all the new tools in the future!
