Old images often fall victim to deterioration such as fading, discoloration, cracking, and tearing. Have you ever held precious, antique family photos in your hands and wondered how in the world to incorporate them into digital scrapbooking layouts despite all their flaws? Have you ever excitedly - though impatiently - waited for your latest photos to upload only to discover them as blurry, off-skew, or just not what you had hoped for? Not to worry, because these situations happen all the time, even to the most talented digital scrapbookers. No matter your skill level, all hope is not lost because you can digitally scrapbook with flawed photos.

In her debut eBook Creative Solutions for Less-Than-Perfect Photos, Katherine Weaver introduces her latest design-based secrets for overcoming the most common photo flaws, as well as additional ideas for getting your digital scrapbooking projects off and running in no time.

With five beautifully illustrated sections the Creative Solutions eBook not only offers details on the most common photo flaws, but stunning designs by SIX contemporary digital artists in a variety of styles, as well as detailed steps for tackling layouts using your own flawed photos. Designed for the novice and expert alike, Creative Solutions will have you re-looking at photos previously deemed lost causes and utilizing their unique attributes as focal points for digital documentation of life's most cherished moments.

In the Creative Solutions for Less-Than-Perfect Photos eBook you will find:

• The Photos: a guide explaining the most common photo flaws you'll encounter as a digital scrapbooker. Each of the five categories introduce two design-based (not software-based) solutions.
• The Gallery: an exhibition of inspiring digital scrapbooking layouts, in a variety of styles, utilizing Katherine's basics for designing with flawed photos.
• The How-To: a detailed, step-by-step illustrated guide for creating digital scrapbooking layouts while implementing Katherine's design-based solutions using your own less-than-perfect photos.
• The Designers: a quick glance at the Perfect Memories design team, and links to their individual digital galleries.
