One Straight Corner, Three Rounded Corners


I have no idea what to call this technique! Basically, sometimes you don't want every corner to be a rounded one. This My Memories tutorial also teaches you to make the L shape around the straight corner. If you want to do that you need to have a plain coloured background since it relies on an optical illusion. If you just want to have a one straight corner you have use a patterned background as the technique relies on masking.

Here's the page I made. You can do the black and white/focal colour effect in Picmonkey and Photobucket. It's not necessary for this tutorial, I just liked the photo that way. The kit I used is Albane Walks in London by Chouk77 and Thaliris.
