In this lecture we'll discuss the advantages and disadvantages of digital photography.

Did you ever want to become a digital photographer, yet didn't know where to start? The start is becoming familiar with cameras, computers, digital imaging, and software programs for editing. Cameras are either your best friends, or your worst enemies.

Some of the tools offered in editing programs includes, Crop, Layers, Clone, Exposure, Un-sharp Mask, Blur, Color, Desaturation, and so forth. If you are seeing these tools, you want to use them carefully, since many photographers will employ all of these tools on a single image before completing a task. I remember the first time I opened up Adobe PhotoShop and seeing all the tools available to me. My first expression was, somebody get me out of here! Well, nobody came so I ventured off to see where it would go, eventually I fell in love.

The editing programs today can do wonders to images. One of the most popular programs is Adobe Photoshop, since this editing program is one of the most sophisticated tools. Most pro photographers will use this program, since you can create websites, book covers, images, movies, and more. Adobe software is also used to design manuals, graphics, commercials, fliers, and more.
