Tips For Better Quality Photographs

 

* Take high-resolution photos. Getting more images on your memory card in the past was an issue because they were expensive. Today, you can get very large memory cards at a fraction of the cost. If you are only interested in putting your photo’s on the Web or e-mailing to family and friends, by all means, set you camera to a lower resolution. If you plan to print your photo’s, set your camera to the highest resolution to ensure you capture enough detail to provide good print quality.

 

* Edit your photos before printing. The digital imaging age is wonderful, giving you the opportunity to take as many photos as you want and not worry about quality or wasting film. When you print your photos, though, quality matters. If the color levels in your photo are off, touch them up in editing. If your photo is off-center, crop it. More advanced photo-editing software gives you the opportunity to apply filters and special effects to your photos for a truly unique memory. Take advantage of the ability to edit digital photos to create the best possible photo to print.

 

* Make a test print. You can do this with your printer set on a lower quality print function to save on ink. Make a test print on regular paper. Decide whether you need to make any adjustments. After you have a proof done, then set your printer to the highest quality for your final print.

 

* Consider your ink. Some photo-quality printers use inexpensive ink for everyday printing and special photo ink for photo-quality reproduction. If you’ve got a photo printer that uses special photo ink, invest in the high-quality ink for your photo prints.

 

* Use good paper. When possible, use the manufacturer’s paper. Manufacturers know what paper works best with their printers and can offer specific paper stocks for the best-quality prints your printer can produce. If you want to use a third-party brand of photo paper, buy a small pack first and test it with your printer to ensure good-quality prints.

Enhance Your Family Photos Without The Expense Of Photoshop

My studio has been using Adobe Photoshop for years. I am about to date myself but I remember learning Photoshop on my first Mac computer. It was a Macintosh Performa and it didn’t even have a CD drive,only a floppy drive. As if you can save a Photoshop file onto a floppy disk. Well photo editing has come along way since then. If you can afford Photoshop, I highly recommend the software. It does amazing things. As many of you have realized, even the best digital photos files need some adjustments. If you don’t want to mortgage your home to purchase a professional photo editing program, give Gimp a try. I came across this photo editor while searching the internet trying to find a fix for some photos that I was assigned to correct. The Gimp program seems to have most of the tools that any beginner would need to simply edit photo files. It has layers, cropping, levels, color balance, mode and almost all the features that Photoshop has and the best part, it is free. Just go to http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

and download. Just so you know, I have no affiliation with this company and I am not receiving any compensation for mentioning the product. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
