photographer, blogger, and author of <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>Thousands of pictures are recorded every day. Many of these
shots are personal and not meant to be viewed as art. But what if you
could capture the world everyone else sees, but in a more beautiful
way? Derrick shows you five ways to make your pictures look a cut above
those snapshots we typically see. </p>

transformation tools including Free Transform and Warp; using Smart
Objects to preserve flexibility of transformed elements; creating a
