@annamaker - Terrific! I just discovered this really simple edit - it looks more complicated than lots I've done that took me sooo many steps and a lot of effort. It's under - guided edits, photographic effects, out of bounds effect - it allows you to select the part you want to emphasize, then as I recall either the rest fades back or you choose how much it fades and you choose the amt. of drop shadow. I'll look forward to seeing what you do with it if you give it a try. I've seen much more complicated instructions for things like a parrot - in which you make a border and have the tail going from within the frame to out of the frame - I actually like this one better than some of the others I've seen and it took me about 5 mins. max.
I know I commented on this yesterday and added it to my favorites but as niether is there, I couldn't have saved it. Thanks for the explanation. This is such a simple and effective picture. FAV
