Creating a Background Paper From A Photo


August 26th 2015

Another technique I have learnt is how to take a photo and extract a part of that photo then turn it into a background for any page. I blended 2 papers,added an overlay and also added a rolled edge (haven't yet managed to change the color of the rolled edge - still working on that), I reduced the opacity on the left hand side to give a faded look.  I had to use the brush tool to select the area of the photo I wanted to be the focus and then used the Lasso Tool to clean up the area - love the effect it gives.


 The above photo shows how it was before I extracted Lyn and I from it
and the page below shows the use of the extraction - clever eh
