We\u2019ve all been there: stuck waiting for that perpetually late friend that swore<\/em> they\u2019d be there on time, bored and sleepy-eyed on our morning commute, or stuck in the nail salon with a stack of magazines we’ve\u00a0already read\u2026 twice.<\/p>\n

Well, there\u2019s not much we can do about these little inconveniences, but there\u2019s a lot we can do to make those extra few minutes worthwhile! Our latest tutorial<\/a> puts the spotlight on the Shape Tool, so let\u2019s take a look at a few more ways you\u00a0can use it to create awesome edits in less time than it takes for your pedicure to dry.<\/p>\n

First things first: framing.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Use squares or rectangles (or any other shape) to enhance your composition by adding a sort of meta-frame onto your photo. Don\u2019t be afraid to let part of your shape hang off of the canvas to balance out the composition. For a playful sense of depth, switch to the Eraser Tool and erase any areas where the subject might overlap with your shape.<\/p>\n
