Paperclipping 95 – Editing Layouts in Photoshop

Your layouts may be fabulous but if you’re not able to edit and crop them with the skill to match your pages, they won’t show as well as they deserve. Fair or not, good cropping and editing makes a difference.

This video is available to members only. Learn about a membership here.

Of course, you can only crop your layouts as well as you photograph them. If you struggle to get straight photos, I recommend you also watch episode 86, How To Photograph A Layout, which is in the archives and available to the Paperclipping Members.

Below are the layouts I used in the episode…

Journaling reads: At Disneyland. Dad was taking pictures of our perennial model, Trinity. Blake moved in on her scene and even while pushing him and his “rabbit ears” out of the way (#3) she kept up her pose.

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzil, Stampin’ Up) * Patterned paper and patterned circles (Sassafrass Lass) * acrylic paint.

Trinity Paints

Trinity Paints
Journaling to Trinity reads: Kindergarten ‘05-’06. You blow everyone away with your steady hand, artistic eye, your use of color and your love of beautiful things. I love this painting because it reminds me so much of you.

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill) * sticker journal spots (Creative Imaginations) * ink (Stampin’ Up).

    Thanks so much Noell. It helped me a lot to see the different way you adjusted & cropped. There are many ways to do similar things in PS & it's always great to see different commands in use

    I never even knew I could adjust the position in ps! I have been rotating everything now! LOL
