Adobe Photoshop Simplifies Editing Your Digital Photos

[Hugh Weaver]

Photography in the past was considered to be an art. You need to learn
all about photography before you can consider yourself as a real
professional photographer and you also need to apply the things you
learned as well as take really good pictures. In the past,
photographers learned about focal length, exposure value, film speed,
shutter speeds and other photography stuff. Also, you need to use an
old adjustable film camera as well as a light meter in order for you
to know what kind of light settings you are in.
Also, in the past, you will need to learn how to develop films in to
photos. Some people even converted their basements in to makeshift
dark rooms while others just settled for the toilet.
Today, photography is still considered as an art but it's really much
simpler now. With digital cameras, you will see that photography is
now about point, shoot, upload and print. You don't even need dark
rooms anymore as the photos are now stored as digital format which you
can readily upload to your computer and print in your printer.
Editing photos today are also much simpler than it was before. Today,
all you need is a special software program called Adobe Photoshop.
Most professional photographers use Adobe Photoshop to edit and
enhance the pictures they take. The great thing about this particular
software is the tools available which can help you manipulate photos.
For example, if you took a picture in poor lighting condition, you can
easily adjust the brightness, contrast, color intensity and other
factors and make it look like you took the picture in a perfect
environment with the best lighting condition possible.
Adobe Photoshop is also filled with other features that can make your
photos look like it was taken by a professional. If you do headshots
of your friends or family, then you will be able to make them look
much more beautiful. Even if they don't have any make up on, you will
be able to make them look like they wore make up with Adobe Photoshop.
You can even remove facial imperfections, such as pimples and scars.
In fact, Adobe Photoshop has tools that will even make someone obese
look like a supermodel. Of course, everyone wants to look younger.
With Adobe Photoshop, you can make wrinkles and other age marks
disappear. This is how powerful Adobe Photoshop is.
The red-eye phenomenon is another problem that many photographers,
professional and amateurs alike, are facing. Even with the latest red-
eye reduction features of the latest digital cameras, red-eye will
still appear in some of the photographs. Adobe Photoshop has red-eye
detection tools, which will detect and eliminate the red-eye.
Also, you need to remember that there are quite a lot of photos out
there that didn't stand up to the test of time, especially very old
photos. If there are damages, such as tears, water stains, and fading,
you will be able to repair these damages on the old photos and make
them look as if it was taken and developed yesterday. You will need a
scanner for this job.
Adobe Photoshop is also filled with great effects tools that will be
able to convert black and white photos in to colored photos and vice
versa. As you can see, Adobe Photoshop is indeed a great software
program that you should definitely have. With this, you can be sure
that every photograph you take will look fantastic.
