week 6 : masks
masks from selections
masks are a very good thing! now i'm not nearly so fond of selections and still wish there was a way to lower the opacity of the red mask layer for easier viewing when selecting an area...are you looking/listening jasc???  lol
selected cup

cup mask

i had a terrible time selecting this cup and still have a ragged edge along the bottom of the saucer. just couldn't seem to get the pixels in order no matter how much i zoomed in or out, contracted, feathered, softened and sharpened. the colors were just too close for me, especially along that curve. suggestions for improvement would be welcomed!

oh! and lori, i read your comment about holding up your assignment to redo this dern cup...if you end up with a better selection than all the rest of us i'm gonna be really ticked!!  haha!!!

adjusted image 2

the last image is just a nutty fiddling with the coffee cup mask, a photo, color layers and blend modes...total silliness

border masks
oooh! with border masks there's no selection work, so I just fiddled and played and made all sorts of silly messes.
