Photoshop tutorials to help you create better imagesThe Photoshop tutorials in this section will be useful to you regardless of which photo-editing software you're using.My friend Russ defines the "perfect photo" as one that needs no adjustments after you snap the shutter. I disagree. Whether you're using film or digital, a point-and-shoot or the fanciest DSLR, the process of taking a photgraph means using a mechanical device to capture reflected and refracted light. There are bound to be some distortions in how that light is captured.
One thing I often have to do is remove the imperfections caused by dust or other debris on my filter, lens, or sensor. All of this is accomplished easily with simple skills I'll teach you how to use on the following pages. Many experts will advise you to create a separate adjustment layer for each adjustment. This gives you the flexibility of going back to a previous adjustment and changing or deleting it. For the sake of explanation, I perform these adjustments on the original file , but will save it with a different name.
