Evaluation Tools used within the task: The first tool I used to create my Opei self-portrait was the magnetic lasso tool. I used this to select areas of my face to create new layers to change the colour of. The second tool I used was the eyedropper tool, which I used to get a sample colour of my hair so I could edit it without changing the background image. I then used the fill bucket to change the hair to a solid colour that was selected from the eyedropper to give my hair the Opei portrait look. I then used the new layer button to add more blank layers that I could use for facial details and clothing. This was used to add detail that did not require a copied layer. The next tool I used was the brush tool to draw on details like eyes, nose, mouth and clothing. This tool added detail that made the image look more realistic. The problems I encountered in this task where when cloning the hair / face the layer didn’t clone correctly because I didn’t have the correct layer selected which was fixed once I changed the selected layer. Overall I would say I was successful in this task but if I was to do it again I would know more about Photoshop and that would make the image better. Improvements I would make would include copying the face separate to the neck to give the head a outline making it more distinctive.

Evaluation Tools used within the task:

The first tool I used to create my Opei self-portrait was the magnetic lasso tool. I used this to select areas of my face to create new layers to change the colour of.

The second tool I used was the eyedropper tool, which I used to get a sample colour of my hair so I could edit it without changing the background

image. I then used the fill bucket to change the hair to a solid colour that was selected from the eyedropper to give my hair the Opei portrait look.

I then used the new layer button to add more blank layers that I could use for facial details and clothing. This was used

to add detail that did not require a copied layer.

The next tool I used was the brush tool to draw on details like eyes, nose, mouth and clothing. This tool added detail that made the image look more realistic.

The problems I encountered in this task where when cloning the hair / face the layer didn’t clone correctly because I didn’t have the correct layer selected which was fixed once I changed the selected layer. Overall I would say I was successful in this task but if I was to do it again I would know more about Photoshop and that would make the image better. Improvements I would make would include copying the face separate to the neck to give the head a outline making it more distinctive.
