            The work I created is a picture of myself 5 times in one picture also known as a clone picture.  The strongest piece of this work I believe was the clones themselves and how well they came out.  They came out looking very good and better than I thought they would so I was proud of that.  I feel if the camera was held steadier then the background wouldn’t be as off so next time I do one of these I’ll be sure to keep the camera steady.  What was easy about this project was putting each clone into the picture, which I thought would be much more challenging.  I thought there was going to be a lot of steps to it but it really wasn’t much at all and I found it very simple.

            What was difficult about this activity was trying to set the background to look undistorted in the final product.  The background for each picture was just a little off which made the setting for the final picture with all the clones a little challenging to set.  The tools in Photoshop used in this project were the brush tool and layering so that each picture could match up with the other and put all the clones in one picture.  I used these to easily place each clone in one picture it was easy as just coloring them into the picture which was so cool to see when they just appeared in the picture.

            I demonstrated the goal in this activity by placing all the clones together in one picture making sure the picture looked normal.  If I did this again I would probably fix the camera in one position rather than have someone hold and take the pictures because the really did not help me out in the end.  Overall though I had a lot of fun while doing this project and would happily do it again.
