The benefit of using a photo editing application alongside TyTags DIY is that you can adjust and enrich the colors in your photos, and cut and paste just the portions of the photos that you want.

For example, if you have a great photo of a hibiscus plant, but only want to show the a single flower on your tag, you would:

1. open the original photo in the image editing software,
2. select which part of the photo you want,
3. adjust the colors and contrast to make everything brighter,
4. then copy (usually by pressing the Ctrl-C keys),
5. then go to your design in DIY and paste (simply use the Ctrl-V keys) and bingo, you are done
