Photo Magic

Today, I would like to thank the makers of Adobe Photoshop CS4 for providing magnificent editing abilities. The photo on the top left is a raw image of Moulton Falls taken by my friend Caitlin. Obviously, the photo lacks color, life and appeal (not her fault). I decided to jump on my computer with Photoshop and add some beauty to this photo. If you're not a professional photographer, not worries, this program gives you a chance to make up any lack of skill. I've been taking photos and using Photoshop for nearly 6 years now. Personally I find having a photo editing program allows a large amount of flexibility. When I was in high school, I remember taking photos with film, then processing the photos and hoping they'd turn out somewhat decent. Occasionally, I walked away with a glorious photo but after discovering photoshop, I found all my photos could be easily made perfect. I recommend buying The Photoshop CS4 Companion for Photographers for those who consider themselves newbies. It will make understanding the program a lot easier and help you towards making professional photographs.
