Digital Photography, Friend not Foe

By: David Peters

Keep in mind is that the more mega pixels your digital camera possesses, the higher resolution your pictures will have. This means, if your camera has more pixels, the images will seem clearer and true to life. It is said that a good rule of thumb to go by is that if you want to print out a 4x6 picture, you should have a camera that uses at least 2 megapixels. If you want to print out an 8x10, then you will want more pixels, like 5 or 6 megapixels. When you are ready to print, you will want to edit the picture, first. You should start by inspecting the picture before you print it. If there are any places that need to be edited, now is the time to do it. If you don't have a photo editing software, you can easily find free ones to download over the Internet.

Color laser printers, once the stuff of dreams (or professional print shops); have rapidly become both more economical and more photo-friendly. The latest and greatest color laser printers cost under $300, produce high-quality color output, and features like PictBridge (that allows direct connection to many digital cameras) are starting to appear in this class. It's looking like color laser printers may finally start to break into the huge home-office market, partly on their photo-printing strengths. Even without going to specialized photo paper, you can improve the quality of your printer's output by careful paper choice. 24lb weight paper is best for most photo printing, though more expensive than normal 20lb paper, used for most printing. Lower weights will often bleed through too much ink; higher paper weights can cause reliability problems in typical home office printers.

Even printers have problems, in fact its quite rare that you even find a printer that doesn't have starting problems. Setting up the printer is hard, getting it to work is hard and sometimes getting it to print can give you headaches. Problem: Roller Marks is just as it appears. This means that at what time you print an image it comes out with marks all over the photo. Solution: You will need your manual, since if this problem occurs you want specifics on cleaning the rollers. First, however you want to make sure the paper is in the tray, positioned upward. Problem: Vertical Misalignments is a common problem. At what time the photo comes out of the printer you will see a double image around the edges, and sometimes in the middle of the print. Solution: Call Ghostbusters. The solution is to correct the type of media, check the paper for correct positioning, clean the heads, use your alignment utilizes, and make sure the inks are refreshed. Refer to your user's manual for more details on cleaning heads, using alignment utilizes and refreshing inks.

Photo editing software should allow for a variety of print options including duplex printing and large format document prints. When buying computers and printers be sure to consider the need for a full-color photography printer ideally with CD imprint capabilities. Depending on your needs, you may want to include video editing software options that will allow you to integrate your photographs in short movies and audio-video presentations for home or work. CD and DVD burner capabilities make sharing, archiving, labeling and storing the creations you make from your photographs much easier. A popular new use of digital photographs is for digital scrapbooking. It is a great way to present your photographic treasures to family and friends. Digital cameras can be used to document artifacts, art and items you want to sell on the Internet. Digital scrap-booking and gallery techniques with related software will assist you in achieving the best result.

Most editing software's or at least a lot of them will automatically adjust brightness and contrast by using filters. The downside is the computers can't read a picture as you can read it, and will adjust the photo to its own liking, which is often not to your liking. Therefore, you want to get out your thinking cap, since you are going to manual adjust your own brightness, contrast and shadow if you like. Assuming you are using Photo Deluxe imaging manipulators, we are going to check out the commands brightness and contrast. Once you select the commands, you will notice a dialogue box appearing in the window. The box should have sliders. With your mouse, click on the brightness slide and move it left or right, depending on what you are seeking to achieve. If you want less brightness, move the slider to the right. Do the same, dragging the slider to the left if you want a darker image. If you notice in the dialogue box, there is a little white box with numbers showing. You can use this box to select your own level of contrast or brightness if you know what you are doing. Likewise, to achieve contrast effect, move the slider either left or right.

If a picture of a celebrity is valuable, it's usually because it's rare. If it's rare, it's usually because they don't want to be photographed. If they don't want pictures taken, and you take them, you may be sued. Remember, a millionaire celebrity doesn't have to win the case to outlast a beginning photographer in court. Whoever you're taking pictures of, you should try to be aware of the laws of the state you're in. Some states, for example, have passed laws against using hidden cameras or microphones, partly to reduce the conflicts that often result from ambushing public figures. Celebrities aside, private places in general can be tricky from a rights perspective. Usually if something can be seen from a public place or if you are invited to a private place, photographs are okay, but it's always best to get written consent from someone who has authority - a property owner or manager.

Have you taken a picture of the most beautiful sunset, only to find that when you check it over in your viewfinder, that it appears dark and off color? Well, the reason for this is that your white balance is not at the proper levels. With a digital camera, pretty much every scene you capture will involve many forms and levels of white balance. If you are taking a picture of the sky, what appears white to your eye, may have a bluish tint in a digital camera. How do you correct your white balance? With a digital camera, you can control the white balance more easily than a traditional film camera. You will need to adjust your white balance to every different lighting condition you encounter. In most digital cameras, the white balance will be automatically adjusted for you. There are models, though, that allow the user to set the white balance manually. You will need to check your camera's manual to be sure where the white balance setting is located, if you can manually adjust it.
