What is up with people who’s idea of a Facebook picture is finding and old photo where they think they look good, but are standing next to somebody else, and then cropping the other person out. I can hear them now, “I look TOTALLY HOT in that picture of me and such-and-such. I’m just gonna Photoshop it and use that as my Facebook picture!” You know what that looks like? It looks like you were standing next to somebody else in the picture and then cropped them out. You don’t look hot; you look like you’re missing an arm!
Check out George Bush’s Facebook picture above. He had the right idea. He found a picture of him and Laura on the World Wide Web (yes, George Bush knows how to Google). He looks really good, doesn’t he? Some might even say he looks hot. The problem was that his pesky wife Laura was just ruining the whole picture, and he couldn’t score any chicks. So what does George do? He Photoshops her out. Bang! Uploads it to Facebook. The chicks are beating down the proverbial White House door. Another happy Facebook customer.
People, please! This is not how to take a Facebook picture.
This tutorial is now officially over.

this is not photoshopping, this is cropping.
@archer, of course, you and I know that…..
But in most people’s mind, cropping a photo (which you can do in virtually any image editor) is proclaimed to be “photoshopping.” I guess technically, if you used photoshop to crop something you really did “photoshop” it.
The important point is that George Bush can photoshop with the best of them.
