| This challenge is an easy one, but practical. Hopefully you will find it useful! We are always photographing our LOs to share with our online friends and sometimes we can't get a full shot of them and end up with somethings besides the LO showing, like this:  I really hate it when part of my background shows in my layouts so here's how to get rid of it. First crop the picture as tightly as you can using the crop tool. (5th tool down on the inside in my photo)  Then, go to Image, Transform, Skew in the tool bar at the top.  Grab the corners of your image and pull them out to stretch your photo, thus eliminating the background from your image.  When you are satisfied with the look, click on the green arrow at the bottom of your image.  And that's all there is to it! There are some other tools in the Image, Transform area, check them out! The CHALLENGEUsing the above technique, improve one of your LO pictures. Post before and after edit pictures. |

| Yeah it is there Colleen it is called the Perspective Correction tool/straighten tool depends on which one you have chosen. Oh and by the way another feature that I absolutely love in PSP is that I always get an off colour when I shoot my layouts but if I go to ADJUST/ Color Balance
I can fix that by using the eye dropper to pick on the off colour/overcast shade and it will fix the white balance. |

I don't really look at size when I crop, I just use the tool set a ta no restriction in the aspect ratio and crop away whatever I don't like. |
