Back in the day, when you took a photo you were pretty much stuck with it. Altering the image after the fact was a black art known to few, and available to less than that. This is no longer the case. With the advent of digital imaging and more specifically, Adobe Photoshop, image editing has reached new heights of manipulative wizardry, allowing a competent user to not only touch up a photo, but to practically reinvent the image. Let’s look at a few of the more basic things that Photoshop can do in the hands of even the most novice of users.
Nothing can ruin that photo like an unsightly blemish. It’s no problem to make that acne disappear in only a few keystrokes with Photoshop’s retouching tools.
Torn or worn photos? Family heirlooms that cannot be replaced? Photoshop can take a scanned photo and retouch tears and scars, water damage and more to make the photograph like new again, even to the point of reinvigorating colors that may have faded over time. This ability is worth the price of Photoshop alone.
Closed eyes in that latest glamour shot? Yes, you were the only one other than Grandma who may have been half looped to begin with, and now what do you do? Use Photoshop to open the eyes, that’s what!
Is their an ex in a picture that you would otherwise love? Erase them! You can remove them from your photo as if they were never there to begin with. In fact, you can remove almost any unwanted object from you photo. If only life were that easy!
Photoshop has a great many more features that can help transform your photos from a contribution to the circular file to an image you’ll want to treasure and share for years to come.
The ability to salvage those old, tired photos and restore and retouch them to being new again is one of the many advances in photography today found especially in Photoshop. With a little practice, Adobe Photoshop can make all of your photos picture-perfect.
