    Love this tutorial. It is so precise that you can use it to “pop” out any photo. The drop shadow adds so much realism to the photo. I never thought to simplify the layer and erase any unwanted drop shadow before. This really helps bring it all together. Thanks for the tutorial.

    I did my first flower just to see how it works – it did so well, I’m going to make a “postcard” to send to a lady that has gorgeous flowers in her yard and shares them with everyone. I will use a photo of one of her own flowers for the postcard! Loved doing it and want to experiment with a photo of my grandbaby!

    I tried it with a flower photo I found online, it turned out great. I’ll be using it on a card too. I learned a lot. I loved how easy to was to follow. I’m new to PSE raised using paint shop pro so it’s fun to learn a new program. I’m loving it!
