When I click on the rectangular marquee tool I do not have the option to use the anti-aliased option, but I do using the elliptical marquee tool (?)
Rectangle Selection - Brush Strokes and Moved Rectangle Selection - Brush Strokes and Moved One of the options with the flood fill tool is using the Gradient tool - it wouldn't allow me use it ? Probably beacuse you have not discussed it yet and you know how it is 'Inquiring Minds Want to Know!" :)

Dog and Cat after Magnetic Lasso Tool - I had to make a second selection to get the green background from between their heads - the dogs leg is fairly lame - but I get the idea :)  

Homework Week 3 Part 2

  1. Make selections, at least one rectangular, one ellipse, one with the lasso. Use the feather and other options. Paint them with some color with your Paint Brush.

  2. Make at least 4-5 selections of different shapes on the same canvas and use the magic wand tool to select different colors.  Play with the tolerance and select one single color and set the number to a low number to select only that ONE color and then remove it from the image. (set the bg color to white and then hit the delete key.) Post both before and after images to your web page for us to view.

  3. Using the magic, select a  part of an image and post to your web page with the rest of your homework.

  4. Draw a picture using the tools you have used thus far- brushes and the fill tool, no need to be artistic, that is NOT what this is about. Just draw something, a flower, a house, anything, just something simple. Choose the Mover Tool. Choose Various parts of your image and move them around to different parts of the canvas. Post the original and the one that you have after you moved around parts of the image.

  5. Do a multiple selection and take a screenshot of it and post it to your webpage.

  6. Do an "adding to existing selection image" and post to your webpage.
