Photoshop Photo Editing

Do your own photo editing. There are a ton of photo editing programs available. Find a software that you can edit your photos, however you want. A program that is easy to learn is best.

A great photography tip is to keep your sensor as clean as possible. If your sensor is dirty, you’re going to end up with a dirty picture. Having a clean sensor can save you a lot of time by not having to clean up a photo in an image editing program.

Use a rather low ISO. A good ISO is around 200. Using this range of ISO will make your pictures look dark in certain situations, but you can easily change the contrast and light on a computer. If you use a higher ISO, you will get a lot of noise on your picture, which makes editing harder.

Filters that you should consider investing in include; the polarizing filter to decrease the amount of reflections, the colorizing filters for an added richness in different colors, and the IR filter to shoot in the dark. Many filtering effects can now be added after the photo is taken with photo editing software.

Don’t be afraid to use a “digital darkroom” to touch up your photos. There are tons of image editing programs out there that will allow you to touch up color, reduce some blur, or add a filter to the photo. Some of the best photos were touched up using some kind of software.

After you are finished taking pictures, try your hand at editing them. A popular technique for creating interest in a picture is to make an only one-color show. Make the image appear to be black and white, but for a single color or subject. This will create contrast, and draw the eye where you want it.

Produce black and white photos with more clarity and impact by shooting original pictures in color and converting them to black and white on your computer. Computer image editing software often gives you much more control than your camera’s black and white filter.

Try not use your camera’s red-eye reduction. This normally does a pre-flash that shrink’s the subject’s pupils to reduce the reflection. While this works, it also gives the person a warning and can either cause them to flinch when the actual photo is being taken or they’ll pose more for the photo. You’re better off using computer image editing software to edit out the red-eye later.

Choose pictures that are unique in some way. Pick pictures that show a new angle on an old subject. A camera’s memory card can literally store thousand of pictures, but pare it down to the very best.

So as you can see, photography is not as complicated as it may appear. It is involved in terms of research and practicing taking pictures, but it is worth it in the end. With the above tips in mind, you should be smarter when it comes to taking great photos.
