Basics on Digital Photography and Photo Editing

Digital photography has a number of benefits over film photography. For one, images produced by digital cameras can be viewed right away and can be uploaded, edited, emailed, and reproduced immediately. Digital photography encourages trial-and-error because there is no need for a film.

Megapixel grading measures the image quality. Digital cameras that have high megapixels can capture bigger images with greater details. These images look sharper when printed.

How to Shoot Quality Pictures
Shooting with a digital camera is just like using a film camera. A digital camera only differs by producing digital photos instead of retrieving them from films.

Simple approaches for beginners:
Start with auto focus. Simply press the shutter button at once. Manual focus is for more advanced users. Pushing the shutter halfway first to focus on the image, then full press to shoot.
Flash should only be applied when extremely needed. Natural light is best. Use external flash if really necessary.
Maximize the viewfinder. Using the viewfinder in place of the LCD monitor helps conserve batteries.
Moderate image quality. Large uncondensed images appear impressive but cause system lag. Large images are unnecessary when not to be printed large-scale.
Lower the quality settings if taking action shots.

How to Use Photo Editing Software
A number of editing software packages is available in the market. Buying high-end digital cameras usually come with these packages.

The photo editing software can crop, edit, merge, and alter the color balance of digital images. Experiment on the many tools of the editing software.

Here are some tips in editing digital images:
A. Always save the original, unedited digital photograph as a separate file prior to editing. This will permit you to experiment with various textures and treatments on the image as much as you can without the risk of deleting the unedited one.

B. Modify color contrast and color concentration. This produces a sharper image. If your unedited image appears pale, intensifying the saturation grades and modifying color levels.

C. Crop and rotate images. Cropping centers an image, or deletes undesirable objects.

There is seemingly unlimited possibilities you can do with your image if you study the editing software extensively. You can rotate images at an angle, give it a sepia look, a crumpled look or wet look. Digital photography and photo editing go hand in hand.
