Digital Imaging - Learning Activity # 4 Cropping an Image

 Before and after editing and cropping an image

I cropped this image of my wonderful nephew as in the back ground there was a foot and a lot of blur.  I played with the contrast a little to emphasise his eyes :)

This is my gorgeous niece, I cropped this photo as I felt the previous image was too busy and the background was very distracting.

 Another of my beautiful niece's!! I cropped this as there is a hoop sticking into the picture and a bit of rope behind her head whcich made her look like a puppet.  I also altered the saturation and contrast to emphasise her green top, the rope and her amazing blue eyes.

After again...
Using the clone stamp tool and a 20px brush I was able to take the swinging log out of the photo.  My first attempt at this left behind the 'predators effect' but now that I practiced on Kathy's car, I thought I would attempt Ruby's picture once again.  I'm pretty happy with the result, and it only took me 30 seconds :)

The top one is the edited version.  I took out the power-lines, for some reason I don't notice then when taking the photo!!  I wanted to leave the bench seat in the photo as it adds a little story to it.
