Portrait retouching in five easy steps

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>
We seldom have complete control when shooting portraits, but we are masters of our images when we open them in <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/1167577/aperture_3_3_embraces_retina_display_and_iphoto.html" target="new">Aperture[/url] for editing. In just five easy steps, you can transform a ho-hum snapshot into framable work of art.

<h2>Step 1: Crop to taste</h2>
<p>
Nearly every portrait benefits from cropping. By zooming in a bit tighter, we can bring out the subject’s personality.

Enable the cropping tool by clicking on its icon at the bottom of the screen, or by pressing the C key. A floating palette appears along with an adjustable grid. Click and drag on any of the eight handles of the grid to frame the image.
