Camera phones
Camera phone
A camera phone is a handy thing to have. This is evidenced by those camera phone pics when the London subway was bombed. When London's subway system was bombed, the world watched the surreal trek of survivors to safety, recorded in a short video clip and dramatic camera phone pics from a cameraphone. Photographers in the digital age are recording history and it is published at warp speed on websites worldwide. Literally, we are living in the "eyewitness age".
Printing photos from cameraphones is a work in progress
Printing photos from your cameraphone is not difficult. Printing quality photos that rival prints form a digital camera is quite tricky. In fact, it is difficult, tedious and frustrating. PORTRAITSECRETS looked into the rapidly changing technology available and offers some tips and observations that can help you navigate the shifting sands of the printing landscape.
Camera phone pics
Camera phone pics are often shared and sometimes printed. Making prints from cameraphone digital files is an exercise in futility. The lack of quality lenses in a wide range of cameras limits the ability to make quality prints. Presently, viewing the images on the phone screen or downloaded to a computer for viewing is recommended. More technical progress is needed to make quality prints.

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.

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,
