Resources Basic Photo Editing Skills: Transferring Images Colour changing Images Resizing and transforming Images

These tools will allow you to select certain areas of the image and only edit them. These will allow you to resize and contort selected areas/images These are the colouring tools, in order they are: Bucket Fill, Blend Tool, Pencil, Paint Brush, Eraser. These are more technical colour editing tools: Airbrush Tools, Ink Tool, Clone Tool, Heal Tool and Perspective Clone Tool. We won’t use these as much.

‘Lasso Tool’ This allows you to select certain areas of images of any shape for editing. For example, if you wanted to take an area of one image and put it on another; you’ll use this tool. For Example: If I wanted to position Obama into the matrix, I would use the Lasso Tool To select him then, simply copy and paste him in front of another picture. To use this tool, simply select it then click around the area you want to select. When you’ve done, click back to the start and the line should turn ‘white and black dotted’. Then, you can either use the colour tools or copy and paste the image.

Colouring This will give more vibrant colour and can be used for completely colour changing clothing or background colours. This can be used to slightly change colouring, usually for eye colour and hair colour.

Resizing and Transforming Images Scale ToolShear ToolPerspective ToolFlip Tool This allows you to resize and enlarge images which have been imported or have been selected. Be careful because it changes the aspect ratio as well. This allows you to change the angle of the image and show it from different angles on the image. This can push the image backwards at an angle and forwards at an angle. As if you were holding a piece of paper at different angles. This can flip the image over and show it from the other side.
