Project Summary


              Making selections is one of the most basic, and most important, skills that you will learn in
              Photoshop. Selections are so important that Photoshop dedicates an entire menu to the process.
                 As you created the movie ad in this project, you used a number of skills and techniques that you
              will apply in many (if not all) projects you build in Photoshop. You learned a number of ways to
              make both simple and complex selections — and you will learn additional methods in later projects.
              You also learned how to work with multiple layers, which will be an important part of virtually every
              Photoshop project you create, both in this book and throughout your career.
