Reflection

For This week's assignment we were announced that we have to use photoshop to edit our own selfie photo. I was really like OMG at first because I am really found how difficult it is before and I gave up. BUT! now, I have to use it and it is a must do thing. Although using photoshop was lost before, yet now I have no choice. and now, I am willing to learn after some of the function has been shown by Mr Vinod. It seems interesting to me right now.

I found that I was so lost although some functions had being taught my Mr. Vinod. I did not know like almost all of the functions in the software and the way to use it. The only thing I knew was open the photo. =/  I have spent my days on it.

I have also done alot of research on it due to I really like a fool when using it. I used youtube for easier to understand and catch up. Furthermore, I trying to understand and follow the step of the overlay layer things. 

One thing that really pissed me off was the photoshop keep on shut down itself what I was editing my photo. I was redo the same thing like 13-15 times. I don't know what is going on , yet I have to find it out. 

I found that the I have to practice alot and stop being lazy so that I can catuch up everything in short. Everything is not easy. just like no pain no gain. 

Feedback:

We do have to post in our photography group. and by Mr. Vinod: 

" Adoi! Garang nya! 

but conceptually sound, i can see you have used the appropriate texture to accentuate the anger. nice."

I started to pay effort in it. =)
