The document describes how a photographer cropped and edited a photo of Laurent to focus on him as the main subject. First, the photographer cropped the original photo to remove unwanted areas and keep only Laurent. Then, the photo was cropped again to fit better in a magazine as a mid-shot. Finally, the clone stamp tool was used to blend an arm out of the photo by stamping a black area over it to match the background.
