photo editing {darkening edges}

I'm completely obsessed with Photoshop Elements 7. I ran across some tutorials tonight and was just a fiddlin'. I found them at ScrapJazz under their Learning section.

This first one isn't that exciting, but just using the levels adjustment to improve the photograph. I actually think I pretty much had a good handle on this already. That article is here.

This was a bit more fun. This article taught how to darken or lighten the edges of a photograph, and then add a basic frame, if desired. Super simple, but creates a nice little something extra, don'tcha think???
