First we experimented with layers, like how to turn off/on the visability of the layer and the baisics of how they work. We also had a quick look at the history pallet, which was usefull for going back and undoing things that you werent happy with. As well as that we set our colour pallet to 'only web colours' so that the coulurs would be the same on all moniters.
After that we learnt about the selection tools, which are used to selct an area on your image for you to work on without affecting anythig outside the selection. Which lead on to us experimenting with the brush tool. We learnt how to increse/decrese the brush size using the [ and ] keys and how to change the hardness to get a brush with fuzzy edges for out 'comet'. On a new layer useing samller and smaller brush sizes and lighter and lighter colurs we made an image simalar to a star, which we then smudged with a soft high strength smudge brush to give it a 'tail'. We then proceded to smudge our comet using different size brushes all of the same high strength so that we would get long trails on our comet, not short ones. We then used a large eraser with 0% hardness to tidy up the tail.
