I don't know about you, but I think it's literally impossible for me to shoot images with a straight horizon! I swear, it's not because I'm drinking chocolate martinis prior to shooting. 😉
When you are straightening your photos in Lightroom, do you ever run into the problem that it crops in too much and starts cutting off important parts of the image?
In this 3-minute video, Heather the resident editing ninja around these parts, shows us the limitations of Lightroom's crop tool as well as how to quickly and easily jump over to Photoshop to crop the image properly. All while magically extending the canvas and filling in the pixels with the voodoo magic of content-aware crop!
If you found that video helpful, I have created an awesome FREE course, with Hair of the Dog Editing Ninja Heather Lahtinen – Pet Photography Editing 101!
