Cropping

Learning to Drive

Ahhhh. . . . the crop tool!  So that's what that thing is on the sidebar!  By this time I had bought the books and began reading in my spare time. . . . mostly at night.  Problem was, my computer was off so all I could do was read and then first thing in the morning quickly try out a tip or technique.  It doesn't take long before the whole Photoshop world begins to open before your eyes.

This is a new toy for another grandson.  He was headed up and down the sidewalk a bit and there I was with the camera on a tripod with an auto setting on Sports mode.  The photo was cluttered and a bit disorganized.  A quick use of the crop tool and I had my subject clearly in the 1/3 margin and a much nicer visual. 

Today I used one of Rita's masks (see post below) and another background from Shadowhouse.  The contrast was tweaked a bit and I considered it finished.
