Advantages of digital photography

Depending who you talk to, you will find a wide range of believed pros and cons between digital photography and traditional film. This post will focus on some of the many perceived advantages of using digital, we will cover traditional film at another time. Let's begin and please be aware these are in no particular order.
1) Immediate feedback - This is widely acknowledged as one of if not the most advantageous aspect of using digital photography. When using digital you are able to immediately see your photo which allows you to make adjustments if needed. This is vitally important if you are shooting a series of photos like a sporting event. You can reduce the amount of adjustment required and take better digital photos, for help with that target=_top>Click Here!. I know most people have been very disappointed at one time or another when they pick up some developed pictures only to find out their pictures are blurry or to dark.
2) Ability to edit - This is one of my favorites. Most digital cameras come with their own version of software that allows you to do some level of editing and printing. One of the more popular standard software programs that has extended features is Photoshop. Some of the fixes you can do with photoshop are if the color in the photo is unattractive, you can desaturate the image or convert it to sepia tones. You can also recolor part of an image using Photoshop's tools. If an image is blurry, you can use the Unsharp mask tool to sharpen it. There are even tools which help you fix poor exposure, red eye and remove distracting details. To obtain a copy of photoshop for your PC or Mac Click Here.
I'm going to wrap this up as it's getting long but these are two of the biggest advantages of using digital and the two that I believe affect scrapbooking the most. As we always state, the best way to improve a scrapbook is with better pictures because that's what it's really about. Enjoy
