Project 2 Cameron Wold

At first I used both the quick selection tool and the magic wand
to remove the general colors trying out both to see what works
best. But because the overall color was so similar to his hair
it did not work very well. So I used the pen tool and went around
his entire body and then extracted the selection and feathered
a pixel or two to make the overall layer smoother.

To seperate the beach picture from the sky and the ground I used
the quick selection tool. The quick selection tool worked really
well because it was a general color and then I refined the edge
of the selection to try to get a really precise selection without
a line of thick blue across the selection.

To blend the picture to make it look more like it should belong
is using the match color command to try the match the overal
color of the beach setting. This never really turned out as
great as I hoped most likely because he is wearing a black shirt
and it is really hard to get any color to show up on it. So I
need to fiddle around with that method a little more on other
pictures to see its full effect. The only other thing I did was
blur the picture of my friend so it fits in better and is not
high resolution in comparison to the beach scape.

I think overall it looks fairly good except his black shirt
is the worst part. Not only does the color not show up on it
to match but because of that solid color it shows a blue line
along the shirt from landscape.

So I like everything that was used in here, quick selection more
so than magic wand because it allows me to be specific or broad
if I choose. This project was a little frustrating because I
couldn't quite get what I was looking for but overall it was
a good experience because these are all very useful tools to
use later on.
