Thong photos
Thong photos may be deceiving. Just like the popular rubber-soled footware of the 60's once were called thongs, in today's jargon thongs are now flip-flops. Be an informed consumer when speaking about digital imaging by using the right words. Check out the glossary of digital terms in the following article.

Photo manipulation
Photo manipulation can be used as a creative tool in an artists hands. PERSPECTIVE is a section of PORTRAITSECRETS dedicated to display the wide range of photographic expression that both inspires and motivates photographers.
The digital age has provided Randy Dieter, a career photojournalist for newspapers and magazines for decades, the opportunity to move into a new creative phase. Artistic manipulation of photographs, old and new, have given rise to an expansion of his creative horizon.

 
Tip of the Day

Good photographs begin with good light. In the digital photography world, the quality of light corresponds to the quality of the photograph. The dramatic light of the early morning and late afternoon can raise the quality of your images. In poorly lit situations use supplemental lighting from the camera's flash in the fill-flash mode.

Q & A

Adobe's Photoshop is very expensive at nearly $700, Is it worth it?
Dear PS,
Adobe's Photoshop is very expensive at nearly $700, Is it worth it?
On the cheap in Oregon



Dear On the cheap,
Yes! If you plan to take creative steps in dealing with your images, photoshop and the lastest Creative Suite 2 are simply the best and most efficients image handling programs available. Is it "worth it" to you, that depends on what you hope to achieve with your images. I would suggest the Elements version of photoshop as an entry level position. Better yet, check a local computer store or even the Apple Store an invest a little time in attending a couple of their tutorial classes for a "test drive" of the program. Then you'll be better informed before you spend your money.

Thanks for your question,
Michael at PS
