Before the picture just went off into nothing and now it is a defined area to look at. As far as the frame I couldn't figure out how to get one around it so I put it in Paint and put a wide black line on each side, Jeff
Jeff - I do like the crop, but I still have a problem clipping arms. I'm not sure if it's because they shouldn't be or if I just have a mental block against doing so. :mad2: She does look thinner and taller in your crop, though to me she doesn't look hefty or anything in the original either. Oh well. That half white background is a twister btw, so that's another advantage of the crop Thanks again for your artistic viewpoint - I welcome yours and everyone els's on the site.
