Making a Selection

With your images now saved to your ID# on the server, it's time to practice making a selection. Go out to the web and find a picture to practice on. Any picture (as long as it's school appropriate!) will do. With that image, we are going to pick one item to select from the photo. There are several tools that we can use to make a selection, and we're going to practice with all of them. So find an image to practice on and watch this video. After watching the video, give the tools a try on your practice image.

After you have practiced with all of the tools and feel like your pretty comfortable with them, you can open up the picture of you that you imported to the camera and begin making a section of you. Take your time though! Your final picture is only going to look as realistic and legit as the selection that you have made. Don't be afraid to really zoom in close (remember that ctrl + will zoom you in and ctrl - will zoom you out) so that you can closely examine the edge and make sure that it is solid.
