Elements
from different images can be combined to create an image to suit your
needs. Combining photos requires careful manipulation of the images
to be sure their color and lighting match and they are positioned to
create the proper depth when placed together. Click on the photos to
the left to see the results of combining these two photos.

Eliminating
elements in a photo can result in an image that is more appropriate
to the use. Take the child out of this photo of a family on a walk and
you have a couple on a romantic stroll.

Vignettes offer an old fashion, soft, spotlight effect to an image. They draw and focus your attention and add just a touch of white space that a square photo would not. Vignettes go well with wrap around type to give a free-flowing effect. |

Photographic
edges come in a variety of shapes and styles. They are great for breaking
up white space and adding a fun, creative effect to your graphic design.
They are best used sparingly, and not more than one style to a page,
since they can be distracting to the design if over used.

Knockouts or masks are a great way to eliminate unnecessary parts of an image. The image to the left was needed to sell exercise equipment, but it is cluttered and has no real focus. Eliminating the extra equipment, people and background, brings the focus of the image to the equipment. Knockouts or masks also add white space and offers a perfect chance to use free-flowing, wrap around type. |

Changing
the perspective of a photo makes part of the image appear to be closer
or further away. In the image to the left the perspective was changed
to make the little girl appear to be smiling up at us instead of just
standing in front of us. This effect is also useful for buildings and
cars.
