For my first time using photoshop, i’d say it was a positive (although confusing) experience. Although I'd worked with layers before, layer masking was completely new to me and proved to be quite useful and relatively easy to do. Being able to hide certain parts of an image without erasing will definitely come in handy in the future and I'm glad it was one of the first things we learned. In order to create a layer mask, we had to first select the part of the image we wanted to hide. This was considerably easier to do in photoshop compared to other software I've used in the past. The magic wand tool was much simpler and was able to identify different objects more accurately than I expected, although it still sometimes missed bits around the edges. After learning to use layer masks we were taught how to apply color to our artwork. This was much more complicated than I anticipated. Despite what i would like to believe, you can not just use the paint bucket for everything. Changing colors always seemed to remove the details from the image, this is probably my fault but I am determined to blame the program anyway. Another challenging aspect was resizing the canvas. It seemed that whenever I tried to adjust the length or width, even just a little bit, the photo I was working on would suddenly be squished into oblivion or zoomed in close enough to see the pixels. Overall...
