Class Task 4
1) Will a 300 dpi image or a 72 dpi image be clearer when printed out at the same size? How come?
A 3oo dpi image would be clearer when printed then a 72 dpi image because, the 300 dpi image would have more dots in it. The more the dots, the clearer the image. The 72 dpi image would not be as clear because it would have less dots.
2) What would a picture created at 1 dpi look like?
A picture created at 1 dpi would not be that clear.
Class Task 3
_________________________________________
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?
The combination of tools that I used to isolate the fruit in the “fruit_combo.jpg” was the magnetic lasso tool and the wand. I used the lasso tool to get rid of the bigger area, and i used the majic wand to get rid of the parts of the area that was left.
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 think I found the magnetic lasso more effective out of the different methods, because it got rid of more space at once, and the majic wand dosn’t really know to find where all the edges are.
3. Experiment with the following:
After you make a selection in the menu and go to
a) Select > Modify > Expand
It makes the selection bigger. It expands the selection by how many pixels there are.
b) Select > Modify > Contract
It makes the selection smaller. It contracts the selection by however many pixels.
c) Select > Feather
The feather, gives the picture a soft look, even around the edges.
What do these do? Post a fourth image indicating that you know what feathering does.
