Bright Idea 473: Framed Focus

By Tameka Bond

This creative technique uses shape editing to transform a panoramic image into a striking work of art.

The result is a dramatic contrast that instantly draws the eye to the most important part of your photo. Perfect for landscapes, cityscapes, or group shots, this method adds a professional, gallery-worthy touch to your scrapbook pages while letting your main subject shine.
