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 music CD artwork in this project, you used a number of 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.
