CROPPING PHOTOS AT ANGLES - DO IT DIGI WED 5/28/08

This week we are going to focus on our photos. The beauty of digi scrapping is that we can do all kinds of photo editing and enhancements. Everyday photos can take on the attributes of extraordinary photography with different techniques, and a really cool way to do that is to crop your photo at an angle.

Here is a great tutorial for taking a regular photo and making it into a cropped photo at an angle: http://spraguelab.squarespace.com/blog/2007/3/11/photoshop-fridayish.html

Here is my original photo that I started with:
And here is my layout with the cropped photo at an angle (which I did by following the above tutorial):
I really feel like the focus of the photo completely changed when I first cropped the photo, but when I cropped it with the angle . . . it just added an additional element of fun.

Let's see what you can do this week with this technique. Traditional paper scrappers could find that this method would be effective with manual turning and cutting of photos as well - so join with us!

Make sure to post your layouts in the Shakin' Challenges Gallery HERE with a link back to the thread in the forum.

Have fun!
