This was a lot of fun. I really liked getting so much practice in on selections - it's something I use a lot. The thing I love the best is the magnetic lasso - that will come in very handy. I liked that I didn't need to hold the mouse down or click the mouse. Clicking the mouse made it easier to continue the path around a corner. The thing I hate - not having a paint on selection like PaintShop Pro. I use the paint on selection heavily, especially with complex pictures. Great lesson!

As I did the lessons, there were instructions along the way to post what we did "along with the rest of our homework" so that's what these are.

Here are some shapes which I then moved around with different background colors.
 

Here, I moved the shapes with multiple shapes selected.

 

I used different selection tools and added to each selection then colored it it in.
 

This was an ellipse selection that I then used other ellipse selections to remove pieces from.

Homework assignment 1

Shapes - ellipse, rectangle, lasso - filled in with different brushes - feather set on the rectangle.

Homework assignment 2

Original picture on left. Right image shows the blue ellipse removed with tolerance set to 10. I noticed at that tolerance it didn't remove the entire ellipse - you can still see a shadow.

Homework assignment 3

Original picture on the left (this one is me as a kid). The magnetic lasso is pretty cool. I would need to touch this up if I really wanted a quality tube, but it goes a long way to getting you started. I love it!

Homework assignments 4 and 7

I'm glad you didn't need me to be an artist! The image on the left was created with shapes - ellipse, rectangle, lasso. The were all filled using Alt-Bksp or Ctrl-Bksp. I then selected pieces of them and moved them, using different colors for the backgrounds.

Homework assignment 5

Multiple shapes selected - screen shot.
 

Homework assignment 6

Adding to the previous assignment - I then filled it in with a white background and brushes.
