Photoshop For Photographers

[Hugh Weaver]

A picture is worth a thousand words and that is why beautifully edited
photos make loud statements and speak for themselves. As a
photographer, you need to know how to use Photoshop to process all
your digital photos, touch them up for professional look and feel.
Photoshop software is used all over the world to edit, amend and touch
up dull looking photos into elegant vivid coloured photos that are
used for magazines and newspapers.
You don't have to be a Professional Photographer These days you do not
have to be a professional photographer to produce quality photos. You
do not have to learn how to do exposure compensation, white light
balance, aperture adjustments, field of depth knowledge or to tweak
your SLR camera. Just a normal digital camera to take photos and
software to download to the computer is sufficient for you to produce
professional looking photographs by using this software. It can
correct the colour saturation, make good exposure compensation and
remove blemishes to old yellowed photos and add in new backgrounds.
By using levels adjustment in Photoshop, you can instantly add more
colours to your otherwise plain washed out photos. One can also
brighten up the colours and images in a dull and dark lighting. If
your flash light is not powerful enough to reach the distant
environment, fret not because you can turn to Photoshop to brighten up
the dark photos.
Correct Hand Shake Errors You can also correct hand shake errors in
your digital photos by sharpening the images with the various tools
like Smart Sharpen. Alternatively, you can also blur your photos for
that misty feel by using Smart Blur. One can also change the numbers
of the car plate, remove an unwanted object in the photos or add new
objects to them. Such is the power of Photoshop for photographers.
You can also add text to your photos for posterity. On the other hand,
you can also add a copy right text with your name to the digital image
including the copyright sign to show ownership. This is useful when
you need to post photos of products in eBay pages so that your
potential clients know that the photos originate from you and not
copied elsewhere.
If you are an avid aspiring photographer, it makes good sense to sign
up for a course in Photoshop so that you know the basics of how to
edit your digital photographs, re-size them for faster upload to the
web sites. This is an investment in itself.
