OPIE self-portrait evaluation

I used the magnetic lasso tool, the colour swatch, the eraser, the pencil tool, fill tool and the shape tool. I used the magnetic lasso tool to go round the parts of the picture I wanted in my OPIE, as it was easier than using the freehand lasso tool.

I used the colour swatch to then fill in the object I had selected with the magnetic lasso tool with a colour of my choice. Using the colour swatch also gave me chance to try and get the closest colour to my skin tone as possible, and then fill in the shape with the fill bucket.

The eraser and pencil tool came in helpful if I missed a spot or went too far with the magnetic lasso tool, as I could erase the mistake and fill it in again. The shape tool came in useful at the end of creating my OPIE, when I needed to add extra bits of colour without using the fill tool.

I found the magnetic lasso tool difficult to use as sometimes it could stick to different colours and would be hard to control, which wasted a lot of time.

I was successful in completing the task, although next time I would complete the task quicker as I now know what to do. I would also spend less time on little things like making the eyeliner on my OPIE look neat and focus on the bigger things like the hair and face.
