Remember in 1a, you have to talk about how you have 'improved' between AS and A2. Here are two lists. Firstly, a list of less advanced things which you MAY have used in AS. Then a list of MORE ADVANCED things which you MAY have used in A2.
Less adavanced:
Free-hand selection - Selects objects by following the movement of mouse cursor. (scruffy, not professional looking)
Magic wand selection - Selects chunks of an image based on tone/colour (not very advanced)
Lack of feathering - Cuts out edges very sharply. Does not blend well
Adjust Brightness - Can be used to lighten dark areas of a picture...but can then make other areas too light or grainy
Adjust colour balance - Yes you can change someone's hair colour to blue, but it doesn't look very professional to change the whole picture balance.
Fill in background with 'block colour fill' - Makes it look like you have used MS paint.
More advanced:
Magnetic Lasso Selection - Follows your mouse cursor and clings to nearest definite edge. Much more control over selection.
Adjust tollerance and feather - Tollerance lets you decide how sensitive the tool is. Feather makes the selected edges softer so they blend better with new background.
Dodge tool - Brightens small areas of picture so you don't have to brighten entire image.
Burn tool - darkens small areas. Both of these tools are adjustable for size and definition.
Select colour range - Select a single group of colur so you can change one colour, but allow the rest of the image to remain constant.
Fill background with 'gradient fill' - looks far more professional.
