Digital Photography Tips and Tricks

Editing & Using Digital Photos

Most cameras come with software for managing the images on your computer. However, to edit the photos, you may need special software like Adobe Photoshop, one of the most popular choices among photographers. You can head to Amazon and eBay to shop for older versions of the software which should cost much less than the latest version.

Two things are very important here….

1. First, check with your camera and computer for compatible equipment. For help, either contact the place where you purchased your computer and / or camera, head online to search for software that is compatible or ask at a local professional photo center, like Cord Camera (instead of the local pharmacy that offer film development behind the cigarette counter).

2. And second, do not buy used software or software from a seller who appears shady. You might get a copy that won’t work because it was not legally sold through the right channels, and Adobe de-activated the code. So it’ll be useless. Then instead of saving $50-100 or more, you’re out much more than that and left holding the bag – the empty photo bag, per say.

Digital Photography Tips

Red Eye is a common problem with image capturing because of on-camera flash. To avoid it, move your flash off-axis and choose a connecting cord and flash bracket. Then simply bounce the flash off of something like a wall or ceiling. An alternative is to use a remote flash trigger to keep the flash off the camera.

After you transfer your digital images from your media card to your laptop or computer, make sure the photos open up and are saved off of the camera’s card before you delete the files. I.E. don’t accidentally delete the images without saving them elsewhere and making sure they are really there first. That can be a bummer, especially with wedding photos or other important 1-time occasions where you can’t do re-takes.

Always carry along extra batteries, your re-charger and adapter, equipment instructions and an extra media card or two. You never know where you might need your supplies, and don’t want to miss great shots.

If you want to use your photos that have people in them, plan ahead and find simple permission forms to print out and stash in your photo bag. To locate forms, search online for “permission for photos form” and customize one for your own company or private brand. Check in local library photography books for a quick one to print out, too, or at a local professional photo shop for other sources.

Try to get something to compare size with in your photos. For example, instead of just taking a shot of a flower, place your hand in the background as if you’re gently holding or caressing it in the palm of your hand – only without actually touching it.
