Math is crazy, amarite? Very few topics are as polarizing as the 1+1’s of the world. But between the math lovers and haters there is one day of the year where they can come together and celebrate, Pi day. On March 14th we honor the number that is Pi which is defined as the ratio of a circle‘s circumference to its diameter, and it also has various equivalent definitions. It appears in many formulas in all areas of mathematics and physics and the earliest known use of the Greek letter π to represent the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter was by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. Or, in case you didn’t understand any of that you can use the opportunity to celebrate pie! A perfectly round treat synonymous with that crazy number. To celebrate we decided to bust out 3.14 tips to the perfect pie edit. Now everyone’s happy! So, set your ovens to 325 and let’s get to baking.

A clean kitchen is a good kitchen and that applies to our photo edits.
- Start off by finding your Eraser Tool in your Tools Tab.
- Zoom in on your image and find the item you’d like to Erase.
- Adjust your brush size to fit the task at hand.
- Swipe around the object, in this case the blueberry, and make sure that it is completely highlighted before releasing.
