Weeks 3 & 4

I made two options for this project. I didn't want the original background of the picture so I masked two different backgrounds. The fireworks file is 3.85MB because of the hidden background layers. Creating Selective JPG is great. It reduced the JPG artifacts around the masked type. I selected (CTRL-click) just the mask on the 'masked type' sublayer, then added (CTRL-shift-click) the 'coming events...,' 'horizontal rule,' and the 'planting' sublayers. Saved the JPEG mask, then chose 65 for Selective Quality. Overall Quality was set to 45 with a Smoothing of 1.

Option 1 .jpg file (47 kb)

Option 2 .jpg file (52 kb)
