The editing decisions you make when using photo editing software like Photoshop can only work as well as the basic picture that was taken. It’s my view that most people who own even high grade cameras don’t know how to use the basic settings or what they mean. It’s also my view that since about 15 minutes of training would clear all this up, micro stockers in particular need to master the electronic CCD settings on their digital camera.
I am writing today to share some notes on some editing I have had to do on portrait photography. Often the pictures taken in a given photo shoot are merely fodder for later retouching. This means whatever photo grab takes place on a given day is what the photo editors for the rest of creation have to work with. The stylists and makeup artists should keep in mind the end sum is not just that day’s effects. But all too often people forget that.
Dieting is a national topic. it is a global concern. But gourmet recipes and gastronomy dining are some of the hottest and most searchable topics online today. These websites need eye candy, mouth watering pictures to keep browsers and readers engaged long enough to scan webpage content.

Look at some of your plain or blank abstract pictures you think have no impact. Think about blending them. Either use paste at 20% or less density, or try to blend them horizontally or vertically. Two pictures send twice the message of one plain image, and the combined meaning can be unmistakeable. Composition can do this job sometimes, unless the items are so disparate they would never occur in “nature”.
