Cool Photoshop Technique I Just Learned

I was anxiously awaiting the return of Confessions of a Pioneer Woman and was definitely glad to see just how nice the new site is.

I picked up a valuable tip today, in the Photoshop section of the site.

Thanks again, Pioneer Woman!

I'm excited to start using this tip and the others I'm going to find as I use the Photoshop section to learn more about the fun things you can do with this program.
