Digital camera users make common mistakes that result in bad prints
Digital camera users make many mistakes. The forgiving nature of digital photography and the ability of users to actually see their images on the camera display provides a false sense of security. When it comes time to make prints of their digital photos, many photographers find themselves singing the blues. PORTRAITSECRETS sought the counsel of the trusted professionals at Provident Camera, a "customer friendly custom lab" in Cincinnati, to see what common mistakes result in bad 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,
Michael at PS
