For those of you interested in digital photography, tutorials are going to be a great way to get yourself familiarized with the tricks of the trade. Let’s start off by learning some things about digital cameras.

Filters, where once an essential part of photography but are they still required in digital photography?

Filters are basically made from plastic or glass and are placed in front of the lens to prevent some light waves from reaching the sensor. And although a majority of the filters are manufactured for DSLR cameras, generic filters can also be purchased to be used with digital cameras.

The first most common type of filter being used is the UV filter. Often a UV filter is placed on the lens to not only filter UV rays but also to protect the surface of the lens. Far better to scratch the replaceable filter than your lens itself!

The next is the ND Grad, or Neutral Density Graduation filter. This filter is separated into two sections, with one region being significantly darker than the other. The ND filter is used for landscape photography when there is too much contrast in a scene to hold both hilites and shadows i.e Sky and the land. What is does is to darken the sky and balance the exposure stops between the two, i.e. sky and land. The brightness range problem is also significantly solved with this filter. Another must have recommended in all digital photography tutorials. However this is one case where I personally very rarely use Grads as I prefer to take several exposures and combine them in Photoshop.

Another filter worthy of a mention is a polarizer which cannot be completely replaced by digital post production techniques. A polarizer allows you to adjust specific light rays that should pass through the lens onto the sensor. This filter is best used to compensate for the excessive reflections from a surface like a lake or similar surfaces but also can help saturate colours.

As you can see from just mentioning these few filters above some are no longer a must have in your camera bag while others still a place.

My advice is if you need to use filters in your photography and you can afford it buy the better quality glass filters as you’d be surprised how much cheaper filters can spoil the quality of your images.

When we long for the past and to reconnect with better times we often look to our photographs to help us relive our cherished memories and remember loved ones who are no longer with us. Regrettably, while many things easily stand the test of time, photographs are not one of them. Due to the sun, water, dust, and other elements found in everyday life our photographs are prone to decay and it is vital to do what we can to keep them in their best state so that future generations can enjoy them as well.

Unfortunately many people have been faced with the question of what to do with photographs that are torn or have been ruined by moisture. Do you simply toss them in the trash and risk losing the memories they hold or do you spend loads of money to have the photo restored? Fortunately you don\’t have to do either. You can use photo editing software to restore the photos to their original condition.

Choosing the digital photo editing program that is right for you is not as difficult a choice as it might seem. There are a variety on the market however the best and easiest to use is without a doubt Adobe Elements. Once you have chosen your program the first thing you want to do is to create a digital image of your photograph so you can then edit it using your computer. Converting your photo from its paper version to a digital version is as simple as scanning it into your computer. Once the photograph is scanned into your computer you can begin the photo editing process.

Once you have opened your photograph inside your photo editing program I recommend that you create a copy by clicking on the file menu and selecting save as to rename your photograph. I recommend this so that you have a backup image on the off chance that you make a mistake. Once you have done this vital step you can begin to edit your photo using a few of the tools available. The tools I will talk about are the ones in Adobe Elements.

Please understand that photo restoration doesn\’t necessarily require any specialized training or specific skills. The tools included in Elements are easy to use and you will quickly become adept at them. Tools you will use most often with photo restoration include the smudge, blur and sharpen tool.

I want to give you a breakdown of each of the tools and tell you how you can use them to restore your photographs. Let’s start with the smudge tool. This tool is helpful when you want to eliminate any scratches or tears that are on the original photo. This tool can also be used to eliminate any objects in the background you wish to get rid of as well as correct photos that were not properly focused.

The next tool that you will use often is the blur tool. This tool lets you add tone to photos that were bleached by the sun. You are basically using this tool to make the photos darker and attempting to restore their original color and brightness.

The final tool that is used for this process is the sharpen tool. If any parts of the photo are blurred, whether it is in the original photo or from scanning it in, this tool will fix those bits.

Keep your cherished memories alive and well, restore them using Adobe Elements.

If you are trying to enhance an average digital photo then adding a hand-tinted look will create an awesome effect to the image making it look like a masterpiece. With just a couple of tints the photo will literally transform into photos that you will want to share with all of your family and friends.

Now the fist thing you need to do for this and any othe photo edit is to open the photo image and save it with a different name, so that you don\’t lose the original content. One tip would be to always save your image to the desk top so you will always be able to find it at at later date.

Open up the layers palette and drag the photo background layer to the copy icon, forming a new copy of your photo on a different layer and then hit “Target” select this new layer and press SHIFT+CTRL+U to remove the color from the digital photo. Finally hit CTRL+L to bring up the “Levels” dialog.

One good tips here is to remember to hit AUTO to see what it looks like and then tweak from there. Use the Black slider more to the right in order to darken the shadows, or you can move the White slider to the left in order to brighten the highlights and Click OK when you have finished.

The top showing black and white and with the layer still selected, select the eraser tool with a soft round brush set at round 5-10% opacity and about 30 pixels breadth. You will now be able to edit the areas where you would like to see a bit more color but bearing in mind that you are aiming at a nice soft and transparent look. If you need to UNDO at any time just hit CTRL+Z.

You can then increase the the brush size to enhance areas where you would like more color and then you can either merge all of the layers or just flatten and save your fabulous hand-tinted digital photo.
