Case Based Critical Thinking

Case 1

Pauline is an artist who wants to create a series of digital self-portraits in which she removes one of her freckles at a time until her face is completely devoid of freckles. The idea was the easy part. Now she needs to use Photoshop to carry it out.

Which of the following tools would probably be the correct choice for Pauline’s project?

Pauline decides that the Healing Brush tool is the best option for the job. Why?

Case 2

Alex, an artist, has made a bet. He bet his friend, Blaine, that he could create a digital painting that Blaine wouldn’t be able to differentiate from a digital scan of a real painting. Blaine is skeptical, because he knows that a real paintings contain certain brushstrokes that he doesn’t believe can be duplicated digitally.

Alex knows that he needs to be able to create a stroke that contains multiple colors, the same way a real brush might. What tool should he use?

Alex knows that just like a real brush, the _____ of a digital brush determines how colors are affected.

When you dip a real brush in paint and then stroke the brush across the canvas, the brush stroke begins to fade as more of the pigment is left on the canvas than on the brush. How can Alex duplicate this effect?
