A Little Imagination and a Camera
September 19, 2008
Editing digital photography requires perception, something what we call color perception, situational perception, and a passion for change. The basic editor requires not such a heavy set passion for photography. A little need for a better output, a few more dollars, a thirst for praise and appreciation like “hey guy! U did this - don’t tell me kind of.”
Well at last are you working towards your childhood dream of a renowned photographer. Editing need not necessarily start after shooting the picture. It starts from the point for deciding to take the picture. Using the tons of options in your digital camera, from setting the flash right, timing, adjusting the mode are all digital photography editing concepts. What you do sitting in front of the computer is graphics! You see because you start working on transplanting the image with your own ideas and requirement, which is not really the original picture.
Morphing, there are may photo morphing softwares available to morph your pictures. Have you seen in pictures, the hero; a child image may change to become the man; that is morphing, a kind of morphing. Well it is very simple you need two digital images, scan them and save to your computer. It can be your son’s photo, and your husbands photo you can morph images of your son in to his father or his grandfather, or you can morph your own self to your mother…See all it requires is a morphing software, and the images, and a few clicks away see even you are editing! Great thing! Big achievement. You will feel you are creating graphics for a fairy tale!
It is very, very important to take a good image from the digital camera for proper editing. Editing can be done for enhancement and a little touch up here and there, but when you don’t use the basic keys properly you may not land up with a digital image, you may land up with a digital graphic! See natural image with little changes is what all of us desire.
The light settings in a photograph can be adjusted with sliders, auto adjust option in the fix pane is a very effective idea. Even after you turn auto adjust you can further adjust the light settings if you are not satisfied with the output of the software! You can make your color pictures to black and white, and black and white pictures to color by adjusting the exposure mode. If you have a color photograph you can use the adjust color option in fix pane to change it to a black and white. Color picture can be changed to black and white, but the other way round may not be natural unless you are an expert editor and technically very sound!
Have fun with you picture. On side of photo editing on a computer is animated gif. You can take your photos and make them come to life. Making a moving butterfly in the background of a mountain shoot is awesome. Wow you friends and family next time you upload a photo to your blog from you latest family vacation.
Simple patching and color intensity adjustment, image resolution adjustment, increasing the size, decreasing the size of the image, zoom in, zoom out are all the very many options available in digital photography. Editing photographs can be practiced as leisure. A little love for images will keep you long hours editing digital photographs happily.
