Retouching!

  This project was awesome! I only had trouble with the the brightening/whitening part of the project because the way I painted my mask looked good at first, but then when I changed the hue/saturation you could see that I painted "outside" the lines. Besides that, the whole retouching process with the spot healing brush, regular healing brush, and the clone stamp was really cool because I didn't realize how well those tools went to together!

Raven Follow-Up

I didnt struggle with this project as much as I thought I was going to! I really enjoyed using the actions panels. The only thing I really struggled with was making the selection for the DVD itself, only because it had to be a perfect circle and for some reason I couldn't make it! I used a drop shadow on the clouds and a different brush for the stars on the clouds.

The Raven

This project was more difficult than I thought it would be! I struggled with the levels adjustments. The colors didn't seem to add up and go well when I did the adjustment at first so it took me a while to complete that. After a while of doing it over and over again, I got the hang of the levels and saw what a difference it made. Besides that, the steps were pretty straight forward and easy to understand. I really liked the words on the walls a lot and I am going to use that technique in the future!
