I wanted to create a scrapbook page of the summer vacation, so I decided I would show you the steps I use for creating a layout, this is step 1 getting the photographs ready that I want to use.
Step One - Correct the Photograph.

This photograph was a little dark and also had a lot of distracting objects in the background.

Before the photo could go on a scrapbook page I need to make the following improvements.
1.Crop out a lot of the background.
2.Correct the lighting and add a blur to the background.
3.I added a border to the photo and some text for interest.
