Can’t find what you’re looking for to remedy your photos?
Digital Imaging could be your Answer ...
“Looking for A Solution
To Perfect Your Photos
using Photoshop Software?”
From: Yvonne Grubb
Dear Digital Imaging Friend,
Improvement can always be made to those camera shots and old photos ... whether it’s just to brighten up your image, remove a colour cast or unwanted object, repair tears, or even crop out unwanted background and fit your photo to a frame ... So if you’re wanting something doing to perfect your photos, then ...
Welcome to the age of the Digital Darkroom. Yes, all you need is a computer and some image editing software, like Photoshop, and you have your own digital darkroom ready to start editing and retouching your photos ... a fantastic and flexible way to do whatever you desire!
Go For It!
If you’re up for it and want to have a go yourself then GO FOR IT!
We live in a great age to take advantage of technology, and what’s more you don’t have to mess with chemicals, as your digital darkroom is clean ... You just make some changes to your image and save the changes ... Ready for returning to or printing out!
You Also Save Money and Avoid Disappointment
With editing and retouching your own photos, you have full control ... you don’t have to rely on others to do this and charge you for it. Mind you, they may not always get your photos the way you want them to look, and you’ll still have to honour them to pay for their services ... is it really worth chancing it?
Getting Started
It took me a little while getting to grips with editing and retouching my photos (I’m going back to 1999 when I started using Photoshop 5). As Photoshop is a professional package, I had to buy a video tutorial to speed things up, otherwise it would have been a much longer and more arduous learning curve. The tutorial videos back then really did help me, but I didn’t have anyone personally to turn to when I got stuck with things.
Getting Into It
As I started getting into retouching and editing my photos ... through experience, I started to realise why I was using certain tools, and this made things much easier for me to grasp.
A Fun Challenge
A framed picture had fallen from my wall and smashed, damaging the picture, so my only alternatives were to either buy a new picture to fill the gap on the wall, or create something myself. I decided to create my own artwork image, saved it to disc, had it printed at my local printers to a poster size ... And it proudly hangs on my wall to this day!
I created a montage using these four images ...
... and with my Photoshop skills, here is what I came up with ...
My ‘Sun With A View’
Excitement
When I grasped how to perfect my digital photos, I printed them out and saved them in a portfolio book for my own interest.
Here’s the best bit …
I decided to take them into work one day and show them around … just with the sheer excitement to ‘show them off’ …
I started getting people asking me if I could retouch one of their photos … this led to another … then another … it certainly helped pay back my investment in Photoshop and tuition costs!

Photoshop Versions
Since using Photoshop 5, of course I have had to upgrade from this very old version (I now use CS3 with Windows XP). You’ll find its worth keeping fairly up to date with your Photoshop version (although you don’t have to have the latest version), but because Windows software is always upgrading (I think it was Windows 98 software when I used Photoshop 5) then you won’t get behind with your Windows system software.
Tips
Now although I’m using CS3, I mainly stick to the more conventional tools (the tools that have been around in earlier versions of Photoshop). Comparing some of them with the automatic features like Red Eye Tool, Spot Healing and Patch Tools for retouching, for example, I still find the good old Clone (Rubber Stamp) Tool has the most flexibility because it works using opacity (so you can use 1% to 100% opacity to achieve better blending ... and you have full manual control!
I’ve found you don’t need to know everything in Photoshop ... It’s mammoth! I have found if it works for you then stick to it!
Having Fun with Your Photos
Since creating my own website at Yvonnes Digital Artwork I love working with images and find it great fun exploring ideas with photos to create montages, as well as retouching photos.
Making the Best of Your Photos for Internet Display
Having set up websites for clients, I have been able to edit and retouch my client’s photos to give them the best impression. A fundamental point, too, if you are using photos to place on a website or blog, it’s important to know about resolution of an image and how to optimise a photo, making sure it’s in low resolution for quicker loading. You must make sure your photos are in 72 or 96 ppi (pixels per inch) for display on the Internet.
Help at Hand ... a Digital Imaging Tutorial
I noticed on the Internet, there are a lot of people searching for that ‘holy grail’ to help them remedy their photos ... Now having a passion for doing this sort of thing, I thought it might be a good idea to put a video tutorial together, which maybe of good use, bearing in mind I have been using Photoshop for over 10 years, and it would be great to impart my knowledge and experience.
Why a Video Tutorial?
Well, going back when I learned from a video tutorial, I certainly found it a much quicker and easier approach to learn something that was quite technical ... It would have taken me ages to fathom Photoshop out from a thick book. And what’s even easier, you can see what’s happening, so you instantly pick up the gist of it and remember it far more quickly.

Making things Easy
After discovering many people struggle using Photoshop for editing and retouching their photos, knowing it is a professional software package … to make things easy, I have created a ‘hands-
I have designed the tutorial not only to show you how, but also give you an easy understanding about using certain tools to retouch and create projects with your photos.
I’m using version CS3, but it doesn’t matter if you have an earlier or later version, as the tools I mainly use basically do the same job.

A Better Understanding
I don’t know about you, but when I’m doing something, if I know why I’m doing it, it really makes the task so much easier to pick up ...
So because Photoshop can be a bit overwhelming, what I’ve done is include some overview chapters purposely on 3 main areas: the basic Selection Tools, Brush Tools and the Layers Palette. This way, I feel you will grasp why you are using certain tools for certain tasks.
The Importance of Resolution of an Image
When working with images, they do contain pixels (small coloured squares that make up data in your photo).
Unlike vector graphics, where you can resize them -
Now if you spent time on editing, retouching and maybe cropping out some background on your image, to have it printed at a larger size, then discovering you only have a low resolution (not much pixel data), you would be very disappointed if your picture printed out very jaggy and unclear.
Tip
You can avoid this if you check your image’s resolution before you start to do any editing or retouching ... You should be working with high resolution (no less than 200 ppi) if you intend to print out your photo.
In fact it’s best to work and save your image in a higher resolution ... Then you have the choice of printing it, or re-
Because of the importance of resolution, I have included a chapter explaining about it, also including working with manageable file sizes.
