How to Edit Photos
Whether you're using a point and shoot or a DSLR camera, it's always a good idea to edit your photos before posting or printing them. A few minutes of editing could mean the difference between a good photo and an amazing one. Here are some quick and easy ways to edit your photos so you can share quality photos every time.

This could be a solution for fixing an image if you dialed in the wrong settings on your camera before taking a shot. Maybe you took a photo that is really over-exposed. But when you convert it to black & white, it can seem like you did it intentionally. You can also use black & white photography to set a certain mood. It’s a great way to highlight contrasts that might not be as obvious in color photos.
Use the Adjustment Brush
No matter how hard you try, and how many pieces of equipment you carry with you, it’s always a challenge to get the perfect light. This is especially true when photographing outdoors. It’s not always easy to work with reflectors outdoors when working alone. It’s not the most comfortable shooting scenario to have your subject stare into the sun to acquire to perfect lighting. The solution usually ends up with you shooting in a more shaded area, or with your subject facing away from the sun. This can result in other issues you’ll need to deal with during post processing. If your image ends up with unwanted shadows on the face of your subject, there is an editing solution for this. Editing toolkits like Lightroom, have an adjustment brush. With the adjustment brush you can highlight your subject’s face and make adjustments to the exposure and shadow levels.

Crop to Focus Your Viewer’s Attention on the Subject
