Question QOTD: What's your favorite tool in your scrapping software?

First, tell us what software you use to scrapbook ... then, tell us what your favorite tool is and why.

I use Photoshop CC to create my layouts, and my absolute favorite tool is the Content-Aware fill. If I have a photo that won't completely fill the frame or photo block on a layout, Content-Aware fill lets me quickly extend the sides or top/bottom of my photo with grass, sky, trees, or whatever is in the background of the pic, and 98.5% of the time, you can't tell it wasn't in the original shot.

That the funny thing about PS is that there are so many tools ... and different ways to do the same thing. I haven't used the content-aware fill tool, but I definitely will! I've only had CC for a few months. My previous version didn't have that tool (or if it did, I was totally unaware). I actually don't know what my favorite tool is.

Ctrl Z - seriously wish life came with such an option!

Ctrl Z for me too! I tried content aware a few times, but never quite got the knack of it. I'm sure I'd use it more if I understood it better.

Haha... Ctrl z! Definitely.

I also love the Hard Pass filter for sharpening photos.

I was going to say Ctrl-Z, but I'll go with something else for the sake of variety. Shadows are one of my favorite tools. Shadowing is usually the last thing I do; the shadow actions I wrote put part of the shadow on a separate layer, so it's harder to move things around if I shadow as I go. When you work on a flat, unshadowed layout and then go through and add all the shadows at once, it's amazing how that simple step transforms the layout and brings it to life.
