Ok so for this class we played with more masking and masking with paths and text.
So in regards to masking, when one creates a mask after having created a closed path with the pen tool, one can then add to or subtract from that mask by using the pen tool to create more paths and masks, followed by the black paint bucket onto the mask side, or erasing from it.
With text, one can marquee part of the text, and black the area with the black paint bucket to remove clipping from occurring in that area. Text must be white.
Below are images of what we created in class
 |
| We blurred the background image, after creating a copy of it. We created the text of runner and clipped the second background image (not blurred) into it. We made sure the runner text was white, and then added a mask to the text. We put a marquee around all letters except the final R. We then on the mask side of the text filled the marquee with the black paint bucket thus eliminating clipping from occurring in that area. |

| I created this image again using the same techniques as mentioned above, except that I only blacked out half of the word sweets, and then lowered the opacity of the mask, hence the darkness of the letters on the one side. I also added embossing to the text, and a little plastic wrap filter to the lollys. |

 |
| I like cats, but this is kinda cheesy I agree. I was tired, so created a sleepy image of a bunch of cat images clipped into the text of sleepy. I have added a drop shadow on the text as well as rendered half opacity clouds on the blurred background image. |

| In class we created with the pen tool paths around the glasses. We then turned these into paths and put them over top a sun beach scene. We then created a path around the table and blacked it out on the clipping side of the wine glass to include the table in the image. |
