Member since Feb 2010 1707 Points Moderator	Photoshop tips if you taking photos as described in my previous post, Take the photo so there is plenty of room around the sleeve. Crop to 800 px x 800 px and leave a narrow border around the sleeve. Adjust the picture at this point so at least the bottom of the record is mostly horizontal. What you notice now is the slight distortion of the edges of the sleeve, this is unavoidable perpective which makes the edges slightly bow outwards. Select the Polygonal Lasso tool, start at the lower left sleeve corner, hold SHIFT, and 'draw' across the sleeveto RH corner, then up, then across the top to the left, when you reach top left, hover your cursor inside the imaginary square you have just drawn and Photoshop will autocomplete the square for you [shows a dotted box]. Right click inside the dotted box and select "select inverse" and press the Delete key, you should now have a record sleeve with straight edges surrounded by a white border. From the menu select Image > Trim > OK save as a Jpeg. It takes a bit of practice, heres my best one so far [image]1791[/image]
