Sample Website Photo Edit

A photo collage for your website is an ideal method for creating a positive first impression, and rearranging elements may improve the composition. In the following sample website photo edit the 6 jpg photos illustrate before and after with the elements separated and then assembled to create an improved layout.

Tip: The trick using vector graphics software is to zoom in up to 25,000 times actual size to outline and clip out the background. My choice is Xara Xtreme for advanced photo edits.
