Which method did you prefer? Why?
I preferred the method that was used on the banana with the pen tool because I think it selected the object pretty quickly with little adjustments having to be made. I liked that the direct selection tool was so easy to use in getting rid of areas that were white with the anchor points.
Which method was the hardest to master? Why?
I think the hardest method to master was the one used on the rose with the magnetic lasso tool. Although I found it easy to use the lasso tool, it was difficult cleaning up the spots that I had missed with the brush tool because I often found myself getting rid of too much around the border.
How could you improve your masks?
I can improve my masks by reducing my brush size when cleaning up the layer mask so that I can be more precise. I can zoom in more when using the pen tool method and adjusting the path using the direct selection tool.
