<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial;">Solution: Render the photograph as a drawing or painting. Sketch or watercolor? There are artistic options in Photoshop.</span><br />

<span style="color: #943634; font-family: Arial;">Jack Sparrow
was selling some knickknacks. Jack is clear enough but the market background is
cluttered and distracting.<br />
<br />
If you want to accent a foreground and diminish surrounding clutter, Photoshop
offers several possibilities beyond just blacking out the background.<br />
<br />(1) In Photoshop (CS3), select the background you want to obscure or distort using the magic wand.</span><br />
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: Arial;">(2) To bring Jack
into the picture better…</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #943634; font-family: Arial;">(3) Using the Artistic Palette try different effects from Color Pencil to Watercolor.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #943634; font-family: Arial;">(4) Experiment particularly with the Brush Strokes and Sketch options.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #943634; font-family: Arial;">(5) Each filter option has adjustments, for
underpainting, for example, you can adjust the brush size. Also the scaling,
and relief of texture, as well as the light angle. </span><br />

<br />A work around: </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
(1) Paste the picture into a Word page.<br />
(2) Go View > Object Palette > Callouts.<br />
(3) Drag the Callout onto the Word page.<br />
(4) Go Format > Object > Layout > Tight.<br />
(5) Type into the callout, Comic Sans caps suitable.<br />
(6) Snapshot using PrintScreen (Win) or Grab (Mac).<br />
(7) Save as a jpg file.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;">The photograph is shot against the sun. Too bright in some places, too
dark in others. You can adjust it using the Brightness/Contrast controls in
Photoshop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
But the Curves option is easier.<br />
<br />
1. Open the Layers Palette. Click on the small black and white circle at the
bottom.<br />
2. Click on the Curves option.<br />
3. A histogram will open. Position the mouse pointer on the curve and click and
drag, experimenting until you find the right composition of light and dark.<br />
<br />
You can also select parts of the picture to adjust using the magic wand tool. In the above photo I would keep the sky and the sea as they are and lighten from the shore down.<br />
<br />
Even a rough iPhone image can be tweaked into visibility and even usability!</span>

There’s writing in it. The medium just happens to be jpg or whatever.<br />
<br />
Photographing books. There are three approaches: (1) snap their spines, (2)
mugshot the cover, (3) knock them flat.<br />
<br />
Same as when cops arrest someone. (1) Bend them over the vehicle and put on
handcuffs, (2) back at the station photograph them head-on looking stunned, and
(3) knock them around to get a
confession.<br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">Another analogy is a conference. (1) The chair
introduces you to the audience with a sliver of who you are (name and title), (2)
you, the speaker, gets up and faces everyone, appearing innocent or stoic or
blithe, (3) in the Q&A you are beaten up and forced to fudge and maybe even
dissemble. Despite your best efforts, much is revealed.</span><br />

pictures of classic cars: Cars are not so difficult to photograph, unless they
are jammed into a parking place or moving at speed. A wide-angle lens is
helpful if you are shooting from close. Talk to the owner if you can to learn
of what special features to focus on. Snap also the details: the emblem, or the
hubcaps, or louvres. If the car lights can be turned on, this can sometimes add
life.</span></div>
