Week #10 Photo Edit — Crop and Twist

We had the opportunity to choose what edit we wanted to do this week, so I chose to do a crop and twist effect. This effect was fun to play around with and I found one that I really loved and wanted to share.  By using the rectangular marquee tool you select the part of the image that you want to be the focal point. You then copy and paste the selection on a new layer and twist it. I chose to do two copies of the image and add a stroke and drop shadow to them as well. I reduced the opacity of the original image and placed a white layer behind it so you could see the change better. I also changed the sizes of the copied images to give it a different effect. Hope you like it! The picture was taken on our Bannack Montana trip.
