Student is now using layers for additional objects, and selections are improving. File type is appropriate for use. Increased use of manipulations (color, distortion, transformation, rearrangement, etc.) Use of filters and canned effects may still be blatant or obvious.

This artist gives him or herself permission to explore and  has created a clever, fine art piece.  Well-prepared for the web.  The photo is scanned in.  Edges worked on center section differently from  the rest of the piece.  Canned effects obvious.  This piece is somewhere between a Level 3 and a Level 4.
