Essentials for Serious Image Editing

Serious image editing requires preparation and understanding.

You have to be prepared with the best source images (the best

content, resolution, and color), and you have to understand

what corrections you need to make and how best to enhance

the images. Problems in your images that you ignore when you

are just starting out become more nagging as you gain experi-

ence. What you don’t want to do when you work on images is

waste hours correcting problems that would have taken moments

to fix at the time of capture. And you don’t want to waste

time learning superfluous or redundant tools and techniques.

Capturing the best information and getting the best results

require understanding the images themselves and how image

information is retained and displayed in print or on a monitor.

An outline for the tools you should use helps you focus on the

right techniques to get the best results with those images from

the outset. This part of the book lays the groundwork you’ll

need for stepping into more advanced concepts later in the book.
