Modifying photos

I have just found a whole lot of great effects to use when editing photos of my knitting.

These are great for showing off the new garment if I'm not dressed for portraits ;)

I also love the ability to magnify a small portion of the photo.

Edited to add: I use Paint Shop pro. The magnifier is added through effects.

To change the background you need to select the area then add the desired effect.
