So, tonight after class I went into the lab and decided to work with some images to put into my scene of pearl harbor. Beginning with a goodyear blimp I realized that I wanted to put images in the sky that were first of all not around in 1941. The first issues I had which I'm sure most did was the best way to cut the photo out of its background. Often times the normal cutter was very hard to move around steadily and the polygon tool often left a line of background still attached. After brainstorming more ideas for images to put in the sky and receiving an e-mail back from liz that it can be funny, I decided to take it to another level. This is where I found superman, a flying dog and a man parachuting with balloons which I really wanted to add to the pearl harbor scene. Getting the hang of the magnifier and general organization of the different became difficult with more and more images added to the final product. By the end of the image I was starting to really get the hang of the program but using the wand to copy the image and using the eraser to make the image more realistic are some things I could use more work on. To top it off I put a man hanging out on a raft in the water to complete the absurdity of the scene.
