Lasso Tool Project








The objects in the photo are my head and Grandpa Popeye and the purpose of this project was to get familiar with the most popular tool used on photoshop and to be informed on transferring a picture into a different picture's background.

Process: I used the magnetic lasso tool out of the three lasso tools in photoshop to create this image. I chose to use this tool because it is an edge detection tool which makes it easier for me to grab the edges, especially since I am new to using photoshop.

I liked manipulating the image above because it was pretty funny to have a picture of an aged Popeye and my head is just sitting there on his shoulder. I wanted to create a funny photo and was pretty successful yet the photo of myself could have been lassoed a little neater. Overall, I was able to select and transfer the image to the Popeye picture successfully, but I will have to practice doing it a little more to perfect my skills.
