EvaluationDuring this unit I came across many different skills and had to implement them into my work in different ways to make the best product possible. While creating my ads in Photo Impact I had to use most of these skills. The first skill I used was the freehand selection tool which was used to crop a certain area from an image and allow it to be inserted into another image. I used this tool to cut out the guitarists and place them on a waterfall background. To insert the guitarists I also had to use another skill which consisted of copying and pasting between the images, without this skill I would not have been able to copy the selected guitarist freehand and paste him into the background. As you can imagine, after taking something from one image and adding it to another, the guitarist and the background were out of proportion, so I had to use another function that was used to resize the guitarist, rotate him and finally move him to the correct position position. The edges around the guitarist were not the same as the background he was on, so I used an extremely useful tool called edge blending which slightly blurs the edges of the inserted image making it look like it was meant to be there, not simply copied from a 'another image. When creating the ads I also used the blur and smudge tools, which are used to blur or feather any part of an image to make something fit into the image more easily or to create a sense of speed or warmth. I used the blur tool on a family that I placed against a wilderness background: I used the tool so that they looked like they were already present in the image but also so that the background looked warm. I also used the warp tool which in general seems like a rather useless tool but can create very interesting effects as it stretches different parts of the background, deforming it in different places. I used the warp tool to make the edge of a field on the horizon slightly more mountainous and lumpy rather than bland and flat. The final tool I used was the clone tool. This clones a certain area over another, for example I used it to clone a certain area of ​​sky over a set of bushes, the result of which made it look like there were simply no bushes and the sky didn't look out of place.
