Editing a photo for the web

The best way to share your photography with others in this day and age is via the internet. In this tutorial, I will take you step by step how I process my photos to put on the web. You can download the file and work on it as I go through each step. Thanks to Jorge for the photo I will be using to work on.

Ever wondered how some photos seem so vivid, or how perfect the lighting is, or how surreal it looks? There is a chance that it could simply be a very ordinary photo with some dodging and burning. The Dodge and Burn tools in Photoshop are two of the most unappreciated tools and deserve more recognition. It is especially useful for photographers who want to play a little more with their images making the ordinary extra-ordinary.

Introduction

Being able to apply the techniques explained in this guide requires some practice and a little time. You will improve if you use it often, so don't give up if your first few attempts turn out badly!

This tutorial will show you how to fix slightly mis-focussed points on that perfect shot of yours! I often take photos that I like but find out afterwards that my focus was the slightest bit off making it no longer desirable. (note, this will not fix severely out of focus photos)

Watermarking your photos

In the digital era, protecting intellectual rights is an impossible task. Putting any of your work online means you understand that anyone and everyone can access it, which means they can do pretty much whatever they want with it. Watermarking your photos is one of the most popular methods for protecting photos, but it does have its limits.

Introduction

When taking photos using an SLR camera, sometimes you get dust particles or specks showing up in the photo because of dust on your camera's sensor. This article will show you how to remove them on a photo you took without realizing your sensor wasn't clean. You can also apply this method to dead pixels which sometimes occurs in POS cameras as they get older. You can also use this tutorial to clean up an old printed photo, making that photo from 50 years ago look new again =) Although I have not used Photoshop Elements before, I have been told it has the same tools required and that this tutorial applies as well.
