1. What combination of tools did you use to isolate the fruit in “fruit_combo.jpg” and where in the image did you use which tool?

I used a combination of the magic wand tool, the magnetic and regular lasso tool, and the eraser. I used the magnetic lasso tool to go around the fruit bowl and deleted the background. I used the lasso tool to get rid of large sections that weren’t deleted.

2. Of the methods you used to isolate the fruit in the 3 pictures. Which method did you find most effective in this case?

The magic wand tool was the  most productive. It allowed to to change the colour selection which made the work much easier.
3.What do these do? Post a fourth image indicating that you know what feathering does. Expand makes the selection larger. And contract makes teh selection smaller. Feathering creates a faded illusion. It can round of the edges and makes the image look soft.
