Sorry I'm LATE. I suck.
This week we are going to play with extractions...photo extractions. That's when you erase the background of your photo around your main subject and you're left with just an object. When you do this it opens up a whole new WORLD of interesting things to do with your layout. You may extract ALL or PART of your photo. You can have a hand or a head popping out of a frame or an entire person. Give it a shot!
