Selection Tools

This photo was originally a leafy background with bright greens and stems coming from every angle. When I used the selection tool I inverted it so that the background would become darker and black and white. In doing so, the flower pops in the picture and creates for a more interesting picture. This was pretty simple of a subject to select with few intricate lines. The editing process was simple as well when I just darken the background then made it black and white.
In this photo, I used the lasso selection tool because it had more detailed lines that wouldn't be able to capture in using the magic wand or quick selection tools. Once again I inverted the selection and made the background black and white but kept the details bright. The subject (Lauren) was kept in color and already edited by brightning her face and surface blur. This was a little more difficult than the first picture because she had so many details around her hair and it was hard to keep the lasso tool steady with the mouse.
