Digital Online Tools -Part 2
1. Develop a Specialty
Get critiques and feedback online and get the skinny on what kind of photography “survey says” you are best at. It might be garden scenes, children, or exteriors. Concentrate on those market and promotion sources for revenue. Bring on the marketing plan and schedule long and short term goals. A short term goal might be one style and beauty image sold, and a long term goals might be a monetary figure for overall sales total in cash.
 2. Publish Photos of the Best
Find a new gallery site online and start fresh. Only upload the best of the best and make sure background are tweaked and details uniformly filled in, like tags, dates, places, subjects, etc. The Kodak Gallery online site or Flickr might be ways to go using a brand name as the account username. Make one small screen display your best microstock “side”.
Print a sheet of business cards with your name, a contact email, phone number and the domain name forwared to the gallery album or the username at the gallery showing your microstock image talent. Hand these out to likely website project managers or microstock clients. let your best photos speak for you to impress potential clients with your full image taking potential.
 3. Make a Slideshow YouTube Tutorial
Youtube is a fantastic marketing tool that resonates with browsers and visitors. Online researching often involves massive Youtube usage. The ability to record screen shots of interface instructions or computer programs is popular. Put your gallery website in the tags and user name of your Youtube channel.
Use the Kodak EasyShare project tray or the Windows desktop video editing program to capture image files and consolidate and organize photos. Review the Youtube standards and file sizes and formats. Use the same tags in the Youtube file header as the keywords of your image files in archiving and image submission.
The resulting packaged files will become asingle video media superfile. Practice delivery of a slide show screenshot Tutorial with voice features. You might get this kind of work but have to convince project manager you can do it. Having Youtube examples to use as a context helps in the engotiation stage.
 4. Adobe e-book Publishing Image uses
Adobe online can convert a document to an adobe pdf, or publish a document online to a url. But every text editor and author may not be able to insert images using Adobe or transfer chapter title page images into these controvertible files in an appealing manner.
 5. Repair White Noise
Go to online sites with photo processing effects or download software like Noiseware or Noise Ninja to get the fuzzy wuzzies out of some of your best shots. Digital noise is all that stuff that ends up in your photo that wasn’t in the air but gets captured in the photography magic. From using a point and shoot drugstore disposable camera to an interchangeable lens camera, these infills occur.
Developing this skill can repair image files otherwise headed to the Recycle Bin. Advanced skills may build opportunities fixing other images files for those less adept. Microstock tutorials and coaching for digital noise reduction should be studied and valued. Work with feedback and online forum member critiques for leegant, mood filed images with texture and good resolution depth of field.
