Mr. Vanderputten's Class, Period 1 - Reflection

Project #2A Reflection
Reflection Journal on your blog or written in word doc - Due Wednesday, Nov 21st (3 paragraphs):
1) Briefly explain what your task was.
2) Describe what the following tools do: the Clone Stamp tool, the Healing Brush tool, the Patch tool and the Spot Healing Brush tool.
3) What other projects can you think these tools could have helped you with? 4) Which tool did you find the best fit for you?

1) Project 2A consisted of editing images with the use of the tools: Clone Stamp tool, Healing Brush tool, Patch tool, and the Spot Healing Brush tool. The task was to eliminate the blemishes or spots that were required to be removed and to try to make your changes as obscure as you can. We were given four different photos that need to be edited. 

2) The Clone Stamp tool allows you to select a reference of what you're going to stamp with, then be able to paint it on a different location. It is useful when you want to paint in a spot that is next to a big field of the same color and pattern. The Healing Brush tool blends the area you're painting and the area around it. It helps when the image is naturally a bit blurry. The Patch tool is almost like the Clone Stamp tool except it allows you to make a selection and copies it to another location that you choose. Lastly, the Spot Healing Brush tool allows you to retouch images. You can eliminate small blemishes by smoothing the area.

3) The project of putting myself in an image with three layers probably would've been more precise if I used the Spot Healing Brush tool to smooth my figure as close as I can get to the quality of the image I used. But the tool that I would like to use more and helps me most in my opinion would be the Clone Stamp tool because it allows you to create a pattern or just color an area with a reference in the image.
