When they happen to be the only images of an important event or special memory--that’s when things can get sour. It may be impossible to perfectly capture every moment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your flawed photos only fabulous scrapbook pages. In this class, you'll learn how to: • Work with many types of “lemon” photos to enhance the theme of a page • Use embellishments, transparencies and journaling to disguise photo flaws and minimize distracting backgrounds • Infuse page designs with energy to draw the eye away from the imperfections • Learn editing tricks in Photoshop Elements to correct your most common photo mistakes
