Bright Idea 473: Framed Focus
This creative technique uses shape editing to transform a panoramic image into a striking work of art. By isolating your subject with precise shape cuts, you can keep the focal point in full, vibrant color while converting the surrounding area into a soft black-and-white border. The result is a dramatic contrast that instantly draws the eye to the most important part of your photo.
