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 exploration plays with blending layers and transparency. The artist repeats different textures and superimposes images from different sources by using Photoshop layering options such as blending, use of different mode choices, transparency, and opacity. A filter selection has been applied to the entire image. These tools, although they work well individually within the piece, do not form a fully integrated effect.
