1. Frame with Elements

Place elements along the edges of the blending photo to frame.

  • They ‘sandwich’ and consequently draw the eye to the large image Focal Point.

10. Hide Stuff

Use the frames in the templates to deliberately hide less attractive areas of a larger photo.

  • Bigger Doesn’t always mean better.
