Snappy Memoirs

Stories of rainy days spent in your backyard with your Nan or dinners at picture-menu restaurants on the package holiday quickly fall victim to glitzier versions. After all, why go on holiday if not to make others jealous?

Wondering how to make your photos legitimize your fairytale holiday that's been spun out of lies?

The magic solution: Photoshop.

Produce the evidence to back up your narrative with a couple of digitally "enhanced" snaps. Take a Photoshop crash course and enter a world of blemish-free skin, whiter teeth and, of course, exhilarating holidays.
