OPIE Me


This is my OPIE me i created using Photo shop. First i took a photo of myself using Photo booth and loaded it to Photo shop. I used a variety of tools to create my OPIE such as the lasso tool, i used it to out line different section of my picture i then copied the selected piece to a new layer where i filled it using the bucket tool with a similar colour. Once i had used it, it was fairly easy yo use but you had to have a steady hand so that nothing you did not want was included. Another tool i used was the brush tool to out line the separate pieces of the image. Creating an OPIE was hard at first as i was not sure how to do it but once it was explained it was fairly easy to create.
