photoshop task 2 reflection# 3

First  before I pick any picture I looked at the image and i saw  how did it look, how clearly the person inside it appears in the image. I just picked Zayn Malik as a character because he just came into my mind,  Zayn was a candidate for the seventh series of The X Factor.

Inside the cutout I used  the important images that I want like the face and the body of the character.  I removed the background  and other empty spaces inside the image which I don’t want. I used the eraser  tool to help me to smooth out the edges .

I fill the background with a contrasting color using the paint brush tool to fill my selection, I started with a large black brush, hardness 100 and colored in all of my element except for the outside the lines. After that, I switched to a smaller white brush hardness 50 and i colored in up to the lines. At the end I clicked on the pox to exit out of the mask mode. And I saw that the red disappeared.
.
I would use four words to trace around my image, x factor, one direction, singer and talented. I used x factor because he was a candidate there, one direction because it’s a British-Irish boy band. They finished third on the seventh series of The X Factor, singer because he is a singer and the word talented because it’s describing him.
Over all I did the Silhouette except for step 10 to 12 and also I hadn’t do yet the letter tracing.mvanderputten@schools.nyc.gov

1)Absolute Cell Reference

Situations arise in which the cell reference must remain the same when copied or when using AutoFill.  

Example:
In the example below, when calculating commissions for sales staff, you would not want cell B10 to change when copying the formula down.  You want both the column and the row to remain the same to refer to that exact cell.  By using $B$10 in the formula, neither changes when copied.
