Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Features techniques for making blurry, off-center or poorly lit photos look great on layouts.

Includes step-by-step instructions for fixing common photo flaws using Photoshop Elements.

Over 120 layouts from the author and contributing artists show the "before" pictures, in addition to how the photos are used on the finished pages.

Everyone takes bad photos. Regardless of the number of photo classes a person takes or the quality of the camera, there are bound to be photo flaws. Because readers see so many idea books and magazines that feature great photographs on scrapbook pages, they often feel at a loss for inspiration for photos that are less than perfect. In When Life Gives You Lemons, readers will learn how to turn those imperfect photos into great scrapbook pages. Author Sherry Steveson shows readers how to fix flawed photos as well as how to use photos as they are to create attractive layouts. The original, flawed photo accompanies each scrapbook page so readers can see exactly how the author turned the sour photo into a sweet layout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original ideas for all those mediocre photos, May 9, 2009
By M. LEE "mtnkaren" (Estes Park, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I know, if you scrapbook you are supposed to love to take pictures. Well, I don't, and my pictures show it! This book gives lots of amazing ideas about what to do with all those lousy photos!!!!!!!! Ways to fix them, ways to camouflage them, ways to make them shine! This book is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, March 13, 2009
This book has great ideas for using "sour" photos! Everything from how to cover up the problem to how to photoshop the problem out. They are easy fixes that you never would have thought of without this book. I recommend this book to anyone (like me) who takes tons of photos that never seem perfect, but still need to be scrapbooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS THE BOMB!!!!, September 23, 2009
By Sharon Knopic (Hershey PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Go straight to checkout, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Well ok, if someone offers you $200, take it. Wait, find out what it's for. If he has extra, get some for me.

OMG. DO NOT START READING these before bed. DO NOT. At 2AM I was still reading. Nevermind that the alarm goes off at 6. I can work asleep.
I was SOOOOOOOOO stressed but I picked the books up, and OMG. OMG. I was wanting to scrap, too (since at that moment in my life I also hated digital scrapbooking) But those books - where was I???? I need to tell everyone I know about these. OMG.

YOU WILL LOVE THEM. I've taught scrapbooking for over a decade and thought I'd seen it all. buy Both her new book, Embellishments, and the Lemon book. AWESOME.
