Publisher's Synopsis
The greatest challenge faced by any photographer is being an editor of their own work. Whether it's designing a printed portfolio or creating a new gallery on a website, it can be a difficult thing to turn a critical eye on one's own photographs. As any photographer knows, a good photo is about more than just pointing your camera and pushing a button. What you do after taking a shot is almost as important as what you do beforehand, and can make the difference between a good photo and a great one. Learning how to edit photos can transform your photography practice, and can help you finesse everything from lighting and shadows to the vibrancy of colors in your shot.
But with so many photo editing tools and software options on the market, knowing where to start can be confusing.
