Photoshop rules

September 19th, 2006 by Randa

I’ve been looking at lots of photos online lately, and assumed that the difference in the quality was that those people had better cameras than I did. Well, I just ran across a Photoshop tutorial that made me realize that many of these images that I’ve seen that I thought were so amazing were good pictures to start with made even better with Photoshop. Take a look at the images below. The one on the right is the enhanced version.  It’s a nice picture of Jack to start with, but the color and clarity of the enhanced version makes it far superior.
