Editing Software Tips For Beginners - Digital Photography Lessons by Berger Bros Camera

www.Berger-Bros.com One of the things that has made digital photography fun is the ability to use editing software to play around and do fun things with your photos. A big question for beginners is what digital editing software to use. Yvonne Berger, one of the instructors at Berger Brothers Camera in Amityville and Syosset Long Island, NY, warns that, for beginners, it is a mistake to go out and buy a whole bunch of software. She explains that a good program to start with (for MAC users) is iPhoto...because it's very user friendly. However, if you're on a PC you should start with Picasa. The next level of software would be the program Adobe Photoshop Elements. In fact Yvonne teaches an excellent 4 week course on Photoshop Elements which you can learn more about here: www.berger-bros.com Video Rating: 4 / 5

I gladly offer this basic, 5-part series of photography lessons FOR FREE! Our world has become increasingly visual in the way we communicate. We not only take more pictures, we show them, send them and display them to more eyes than ever before. Wouldn't it be nice to capture and show better pictures? In this series, I get us thinking about... 1. How to tell a story with our photographs by understanding the 4 dimensions associated with the art. 2. The basic elements of "composing" our photographic story. How do we put things in our viewfinders so people get the essence of that moment that inspired us. 3. Understanding exposure, light and color and how they combine to say what we want. 4. How lens choice and operation effects focus and how focus effects what we show in our photos 5. The people in our photographs and the people we are showing them to. Please enjoy these lessons. They're not meant to be comprehensive and their not meant to be exhaustive or advanced. That doesn't mean I don't encourage any questions you might want to post for either me to try to answer or anyone else who comes along. Please, be kind, helpful and enjoy. Video Rating: 4 / 5
